I just found out about https://openbsd.amsterdam ! They are a OpenBSD VPS provider, and they donate 10% to OpenBSD. They are approaching donating $1000/month to OpenBSD. If you are looking for a VPS, and you like OpenBSD, then you might try them out! I think I am going to try to use it as cheap VPN. #vpn #openbsd
@pauho I saw in your Bio that you have been using Elementary Os...how is it?
@thor Did you write the bogofilter-opensmtpd? I am itching to try that out!
I've got my own email server now! It's awesome! Now I need to set up bogofilter and sieve filtering. #opensmtpd #guix
So I now have my own XMPP account hosted an gnucode.me! And I've my own email set up at gnucode.me (minus a good spam filter and dkimsigning). I'm pretty stoked about both of those!
Racket does have a really cool gui toolkit that's integrated into the language! https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui/
I am liking the PinePhone on Mobian. Gnome/phosh is prettg good. and im writing this on said pinephone and listening to pandora via pithos. its pretty rad.
Also oLimex sells an OpenWRT router. I'm not certain how powerful it is: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/RT5350F/RT5350F-OLinuXino-EVB/open-source-hardware
So, I'm researching building a dumb/smart phone. Or XMBC based computer. Or MP3 player...via a oLinuXino board. Promising candidate boards include the A64-OLinuXino-2Ge8G-IND, which is the same CPU that the Pine64 phone has or the stmp1, which has a GPU on the board. What's awesome is that some (or all?) of the boards are nearly RYF and they open hardware. You can modify and sell your modified boards! https://www.olimex.com/
I will be doing some live documentation writing/maybe email configuring on Guix System today at 9:30pm. I am on EST, which is -5 UTC. Come and hang out and ask questions:
I am currently writing some documentation for GNU Guix cookbook at https://jitsi.member.fsf.org/guix password guix.
I'll be sharing my screen, embarrassing life stories, and dad jokes. Ya'll are welcome to join.
So I just installed OpenBSD! And the Leah Rowe from libreboot helped me re-flash my ROM image to do it. Basically SeaBIOS is the bios to use if you want to boot the *BSDs. #openbsd #libreboot #osboot
Apparently the Libre SOC/GPU/VPU effort is looking to pay people for hardware design via NLnet!
It's the same guy that did the micro desktop the EOMA68 computing devices:

Luke latest message from his mailing list is that he urgently needs some hardware developers. There is a time limit.
I'm planning on selling GNU/Linux desktop machines. Core i3/i5/i7 processors, 8-16GB of RAM, 1 TB hard drive/SSD (Or RAID), with or without a Nvidia Kepler graphics card in the $300 to $500 range. This would include the speakers, monitor, mouse, etc. Comments and suggestions are most welcome.
I've got a new blog post up about setting up a locally running dovecot server to help one search emails faster with Emac's Gnus. http://gnucode.me/a-locally-running-dovecot-in-guix.html
Smarter people would probably just set up mu4e.
I interviewed one of the XaoS maintainers, which is a fractal viewing program!

I interviewed Gavin Smith, who is the current GNU Texinfo maintainer! It was super fun!

I've got endlessh working on my server!
Whoo hoo! I've helped make my first guix blog post!
