-# Out of arms reach
-
-There is a lot of thing I love about  plan9, along with a couple of things I don't. When I started With plan9 I thought it would be terrible as a main os because of the lack of a modern web browser. Of course, here in the US a modern web browser is more or less a legal reqirement and in the age of video call this and open a doc on that A modern web browser is needed.
-
-When I started with plan9 I had a vm running on my desktop with a firefox instance open on another workspace and I would do all my browsing from that, and do almost everything else in the VM. After spending about 2 weeks debugging issues and getting a new wireless card I switched my laptop over to plan9 and used that as my main machine, but still used my desktop for most browsing.
-
-Then I got my hands on this old 2010 Macbook pro. I Installed Debian on it and made it my be browsing machine. So I moved my monitor, Made my 9front laptop the center of my workspace, got a new mouse with a good middle click, and got a nice laptop stand. I put the Macbook just out of arms reach, in a Magazine holder on a drawer thing next to my desk.

-This changed the way I use a computer. I didn't waste mindless hours going down yet another rabbit hole. With a browser out of arms reach, the web wasn't a distraction. I used my computer more intentionally, I found time to explore things I'm actually interested in, and to try thing I've wanted to do, like this blog for instance. 
-
-When I do open up firefox on the just-out-of-reach macbook, I'm in and out quick. I don't miss the "modern web".
-
-Stepping away from the web allowed me to explore the small web, and for the first time, I am able to read the blogs, and write my own. One of the best things you can do as a programmer is to put the modern internet just a little out of reach.
