They haven't considered that, because until this week they didn't need to.
Some Linux Foundation projects use Zulip, and the team behind the project seem willing to host for free.

If you're interested in the history of Commodore, I thoroughly recommend the Commodore International Historical Society at https://commodore.international/. Dave has pulled together many of the people who were there at the time. For example, here's an Amiga panel from the recent VCF East: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_AYDkuMg-U

From the FAQ:
> If some eligible files were found, the amount of disk space that can be reclaimed is shown next to the “Potential Savings” label. To proceed any further, you will have to make a purchase. Once the app’s full functionality is unlocked, a “Review Files” button will become available after a successful scan. This will open the Review Window.
I half remember this being discussed on ATP; the logic being that if you have the list of files, you will just go and de-dupe them yourself.

Is it just me, or is the font in the title bar/menus, off?

Tetrate and Bloomberg want to contribute their code to Envoy to create "Envoy AI Gateway", similarly to how there is an "Envoy Gateway" spec. Do you see this as being complementary or competitive with your work?

You're probably thinking of Renegade, which lives on at https://renegadebbs.info/

Before there was WordPress, the most popular blog CMS was Moveable Type. It had a "generate static files" option. (I believe this is how Daring Fireball is still published today.)
Surely this is the "best of both worlds" answer?

Yes; it's referred to in Oxide's RFD about RFDs [1] https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0001 but the referenced URL is 404 unless you're an Oxide employee.

It wasn't lost. The guy who sat next to Warhol as he created it, has had it for the entirety of the intervening time. (That's some "provenance".)
The thing that Debbie Harry said she had one of two of was a /print/ of the images.
There's some more context here: https://pagesix.com/2024/07/29/lifestyle/long-lost-andy-warh...

As opposed to Maniac Mansion, where you could die if you drained the pool and waited too long to refill it.

The live remote camera setup seems like the bones of the only killer app idea I've ever had: a two-iPhone camera system for couples who want a stranger to take a picture of them while they're on holiday.
It would work like this:
- hand volunteer a phone and ask them to point it at you
- direct the shot by looking at the second phone ("no, stand further back, not our legs, don't point it directly at the sun")
- put the second phone in your pocket
- have the stranger take the photo you actually want, saving you rounds of back and forth when they say "Is this OK?"
Has anyone ever seen an app like this?

The issue isn't about explaining xz, it's about explaining Postgres. "It's a very popular piece of database software, and Andres' job is making sure that whenever people make changes to it, it doesn't get slower". There you go.
