I repeatedly tried IMs from Identi.ca days to Mastodon and always ran away soon, but I thought I'd give it a retry using #emacs with #mastodonel and when I looked for a server emacs.ch just had shown up and still had exactly 1 user.

Sometimes coincidence feels like a hint for doing the right thing at the right time.

Do you archive (make local copy) of other people’s sites in case they vanish? If so: how?

@mms

archive.org ?

So far I used that only for some pages and all refs in there... but it probably can do more.

Please don't. ARM still is too proprietary. Wait until a standard for booting RISC-V settles.

Even better would be with less power hungry FPGAs.

You read about that FPGA system that is capable of regenerating itself?

And there is a Linux on a cheap FPGA...

But that all still needs a while longer on the meadows.

Hidden in https://www.openbsd.org/i386.html​:

32bit PCs are second class citizens in OpenBSD for already a while.

Due to the increased usage of OpenBSD/amd64, as well as the age and practicality of most i386 hardware, only easy and critical security fixes are backported to i386. The project has more important things to focus on.

And the final nail:

The latest supported OpenBSD/i386 release is OpenBSD 7.5. Here are the OpenBSD/i386 installation instructions.

I haven't read about CRUX for years. Maybe I should look at it again.

CRUX is a lightweight Linux distribution for the x86-64 architecture targeted at experienced Linux users.

Only 64bitter? No go!

I want to leave DeBIan because of systemd and because they announced to ditch 32bit PCs. DeVUan will not be able to compensate for this, so 32bitters will be missing there too then. But I fscking do not want different OSes on 32 and 64 bit PCs.

OpenBSD and FreeBSD are dropping 32bit PCs too and NetBSD as the only OS probably would be problematic. Linux being the new Windows meanwhile includes a Linux locked-in syndrome. So despite liking NetBSD, I'll need a Linux that won't drop 32bit PCs.

Ok ... or restart playing with NetBSD's Linux compatibility layer. I haven't looked closer at that since NetBSD4 days. Last year I installed a statically linked Linux-Busybox in it, but that was all since the days where browser plugins only ran in Linux emulations on NetBSD.

Did I just hear dark energy expanding my to do list again?

My 32bit-Atom netbook sure isn't 20 yet.

And my 32bit Thinkpads (T23 & T30) still are better quality than the modern Lenovo trash.

There definitely should be a standard way for user packages.

Mehr Sonneborn in der Politik wär' schon nett, aber es mag durchaus Gründe geben, das Kreuz woanders hinzumalen. Schaunwermal, wie ich das ein paar Tage vor dem Termin sehe, wenn ich Briefwählen werde und damit Europa rette. Oder so ähnlich. Hoffentlich.
