@dpk AFAIK, as former “semi-insider” (this part is managed by FSF staff and is fairly opaque), www.gnu.org runs on different servers than Savannah & co. But all these services have a terrible technical debt, as you note.

Example: to have a web page show up on www.gnu.org, one has to commit HTML files in a CVS repo that is then checked out by some machinery, which also does “server-side includes” (raw HTML post-processing like in the 90’s). :-)

No one can tell you what to do with the , not even me!

Well, that's not entirely true. I can tell you one thing: whatever you do with the universe you have to give back to the JG universe ( )

What would you do with 10U of collocation space for free? if you were me, what’s the best/most interesting/most impactful outcome for this rack space?

I got BASIC running on a CRT monitor, but I have no PS2 keyboard, lol

Dug out an old VGA CRT monitor and put it on my desk.

Now my desk has four screens.

This is for @permacomputer , where I am rapidly thinking I will make an illustrated book for children on programming.

Okay, I think I fixed the instance.

To say that this instance was downloading a "fire hose" of posts due to following many relays is an understatement.

I also did a nice big prune and vacuum of the database.

Thanks to the @fsf for promoting GNU Guix's fundraising.

Like many other Free Software project's we depend on our users and fans support to pay for the project's expenses.

We're running a campaign to 'sustain and strengthen' Guix. As a distribution we have a lot of which costs quite a bit to build and distribute to users. And, as we use the declarative and reproducible system pioneered by we rebuild packages whenever there's a change.

If you'd like to know more about what we're doing, or support the project you can check out the blog post:

We appreciate any support that people can give!

I'm looking for recommendations for FOSS software that notifies me when an artist releases a new track/album.

Does anyone have any recommendations for software that will notify me or provide a feed for new releases from artists in my music library.

is that big or not

i dunno, no-one ever really imparted to me the necessity of prune and vacuuming it lol

running an instance prune and vacuum for the first time, lol
