@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). :-)
Anyway, all of that is to say: The fact that Paramount controls what can and can't be #starTrek is why we need #communityMedia
and it's why I started working on #JupitersGhost
No one can tell you what to do with the #SolarFederation, not even me!
Well, that's not entirely true. I can tell you one thing: whatever you do with the #JG universe you have to give back to the JG universe ( #CCBYSA)
But, if you find yourself looking for a place to tell space stories, and you want to settle in to an existing universe rather than writing your own, take a look at https://intergalactic.computer/social
Project 10U – (Neighborhood) Community Cloud Pitch
Call to action
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?
Part 1: The Pitch
In February 2025, I moved into a half rack with 20U of capacity in a closed/private and secured location in Melbourne Australia.
After installing all of my personal hardware, including routers, switches, and […]

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 #linux distribution we have a lot of #packages which costs quite a bit to build and distribute to users. And, as we use the declarative and reproducible system pioneered by #Nix 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 made a stupid YouTube short about an old Mac NASCAR game
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.
my pleroma database is about 150GB
is that big or not
i dunno, no-one ever really imparted to me the necessity of prune and vacuuming it lol
