I have no position or authority in the project. I am merely a bystander
trying to be helpful.
Yes, you are right. And the honor is mine.
I only recently (6 months ago) joined the cause of free software
movement. My roles in the GNU project: www.gnu.org Chinese (zh-cn) and
Japanese web translator, GNU webmaster. My account name on Savannah is
"jing", which is my given name.
that shiny and powerful equipment in your living room.
I wouldn't say shiny, they are mostly second-hand or refurbished, but
they are working really well and stable. Much of the equipment was
purchased during the mining boom when I knew nothing about free
software. When the crypto collapsed, I realized how unethical it was,
and reused/repurposed the hardware for a homelab. Now I have more than
30 VM/LXC running, for my self-hosted services and the mirror site
repo.jing.rocks [1]. I loaned 1 LXC container to a friend of mine in BC,
Canada who does scientific calculation. As a side note, my apartment is
powered by renewable energy only (so the electricity company claims),
you can say I'm making amends. Also repo.jing.rocks somehow has less
outages than savannah.
I believe "sharing is caring". The services don't require much CPU power
actually, and since I have spare storage space, I thought I could help
the community I heavily rely on. The thing is that I'm still getting
used to guix, and I'm struggling to know what/how to configure the
system. I'm most familiar with Debian though.
Now, a message for x86_amd64 kernel developers on the list, which may
look like an ad:
Are you suffering from long compiling time? Tired of waiting for the
build to finish? I can loan a VM to you. With "make -j 200", it only
takes 55 seconds to compile the kernel from scratch using the default
kconfig, and 78 seconds with "make -j 128". Building GCC only takes less
than 4 minutes- ("make -j 200"). Contact me for more details if you are
interested.
