> Anyway, interesting idea. As another comment pointed out, I wish there was an easy way to mount NFS and 9p shares as a user.

Add e.g. foo.bar.com:/path /net/foo.bar.com nfs to /etc/fstab with options=user ?

> Regarding the article content, I find 9p to be even simpler and probably more ubiquitous than NFS, though I don't know if MacOS and Windows natively support it.

Windows certainly does not. MacOS I don't know, but if you mean "natively" as "stock install without third-party software", then probably not.



> Windows certainly does not.

Actually, scratch that, comments below suggest that WSL2 uses 9P for file sharing with the host, so it's possible that a version of Windows with the WSL2 bits installed will support 9P.
