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
Racket does have a really cool gui toolkit that's integrated into the language! https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui/
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'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!

Whoo hoo! I've helped make my first guix blog post!
