@kafazen ну тогда это рядовая в целом ситуация может быть. Цены на недвигу меняются, в мск наверное ничего кроме роста цен и не бывает. Я сейчас тоже буду менять квартиру, но в Тбилиси наоборот цены падают, т.к. все уезжают потихоньку.

@kafazen договор на год заключай и тогда не будут иметь права менять по идее. Без договора конечно такие приколы могут всплывать. В любом случае сочувствую, надеюсь разрулишь всё.

I have found a new toy. This is free software and I think it is not packaged anywhere, but it is extremely good for creating tracker music. There is nonfree software called Renoise which does something like it. It also uses Scheme for extensions.

@dzu I've just installed it. I think I continue to use it tty only. Emacs has a web-browser which I use from time to time.

On my normal setup I use Guix with Ratpoison wm for Xorg, which is lightweight, but as you noticed software like Firefox is not lightweight and many GUI apps are like that. Would be nice to use just 10-15 years old firefox, but packaging old software in GNU Linux world is a bit broken and can be incompatible with newer libraries and compilers in many ways.

What I find kinda funny is their removal policy of PHP:

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:philosophy:php_trademark

While I agree with it, I find it funny because the Hyperbola project uses PHP for:
- forum
- bug tracker
- wiki
- maybe package list too, I can't find its source

I use trac written in python, I think it is good all in one solution (wiki, bugtracker, cvs frontend, also can be extended to blog and forum).

I've installed GNU Hyperbola system on my small netbook

I've made offload + cross-compiler setup on my PC for compiling aarch64 packages for my phone. And finally I got libre web browser on my droidian system.

@serge I don't like json too. At least it is simple enough, better than xml. Sadly almost noone uses json schema and text editor usually can't complete json.

@calispera I like the change about rfc. It proposes to use consensus for decision making (everyone should agree on a new feature). And I don't like other projects that doesn't have that or even doesn't have basic democratic processes, so they use stuff like BDFL or very small committee of 3-4 people to make a decisions for the rest of devs. That's all :)

@baleine consensus based decision making ftw. I know only glibc which uses consensus. I wish a guix team luck with trying consensus for community organization (for rfc at least). It is better than committee of 3-4 people or BDFL.

@civodul grats. Sadly I'm not contributing, but I find guix as the best currently available libre gnu distribution. And as the time pass it becomes better and better.

Hey, I realized it’s been 12 years of #Guix today! 🎉

@rms that's why the safest tactic for ru immigrants to stay quiet at social media. In Russia you can be jailed for 5-10 years for words, and jails are not as comfortable as they might be in Europe. US, EU people might think that ru citizens deserve their government, but it's not the case, majority of the people just want to be safe, because censorship went strong enough. Russia can literally get you in foreign countries, they will claim you as a terrorist for posting something online.

Are dependencies here in this room right now?

Spring refuses to accept an MR done by Russian guy:

I think it will happen much more often, I've seen it happening with Iranians and Chinese on github before. My overall recommendation, don't stick with only one vendor, use community-driven tools like gnu.org. Not sure that it is impossible to happen in gnuland, the thing is if the code is not attached to one specific company, you are probably fine. I hope GNU and Free Software in general has higher standards.
