I run transmission daemon on one of my Beaglebone Black machines. It shares netinst iso images of latest revisions of Debian from wheezy to buster releases. I chose to share the most popular images, that is for (1) amd64, (2) i386, and (3) amd64+i386 architectures. So far it works already for 743 days and it uploaded 724.6 GB. Almost 1 GB per day. Nice little buddy.

Debian 4.0 (etch) was released in April 2007 [https://www.debian.org/News/2007/20070408], and in fact my journey in the Debian land started with etch release. Currently I'm with Debian for 13 years, and I like it more and more. It is not just a nice working and technically solid distribution, it is a welcoming and warm community.

Interesting talk about "as a service" stuff. As for me it looks very realistic without any dystopian hysteria. Should think more about it.

No Emacs-related project should exclude people, boycott other projects, or discourage participation in other projects because of any difference of opinion over non-technical matters. Such divisiveness weakens the community, discourages participation in the Emacs community, and holds back progress in improving software.

This is not just "Don't Tread on Emacs", it is rather "Don't Tread on Free Software".

March is a month when elections of Debian Project Leader typically start. Good luck to all candidates of this year! I believe that contribution of all candidates are important, because each platform and q&a session help to understand the current state of the Project and focus our attention on our common future as a community.

Yay! Thanks to everyone who is involved into setting debian.social up. 🥳
