This year the #HackerTrain to #FOSDEM is going to be a distributed system 🐙🚋
We’re doing this completely on a voluntary basis, so if anyone has professional skills or connections, they would be very welcome!
In the long run we want to make it so even those who would otherwise have a hard time to afford it, can travel to #FOSDEM ecologically and in good company. If anyone wants to sponsor, that would be amazing.
A visual overview (Kanban board style) is here – here you can easily see which routes are leaving when and going through which countries (or suggest/add another one): https://codeberg.org/HackerTrain/groups/projects/31836
We are currently planning the route(s) for this trip, so it is the best time to join in – regardless of: - where you would like to start your train journey - whether you’d like to help or just tag along
@aral, this. I think the bigger problem is not the name, but that you do not have a simple button in the browser anymore.
Also it sounds like "everyone" was using Google News, but not as many follow feeds now, IMHO because feed readers are now ever so slightly less convenient than "this got shoved in my face together with my 'free' email account and 'everyone' uses it".
So a bit more effort required to find feeds, a bit more to find readers, it adds up.
I'm undecided whether to move my git repos (there's not many really) from GitLab and GitHub to a (#YunoHost) self-hosted #Forgejo instance or not.
On one hand it'd be kinda neat.
On the other, I don't want to make the very few contributors' lives more difficult and my niche projects even harder to find.
Also, might make sense to have a mirror somewhere in case my own server goes down. And then the question is again, where to mirror to and why not just use that instead.
The main idea is that on the on the night train from Prague to Brussels (28-01-2025 18:02 →29-01-2025 9:27) we pick up other #hacker|s along the way and organise an #unconference while we drive towards the main event.
🇧🇪 🚄 Feel free to join and/or share! :blobBongo: 🚋
