    @nuintari It was 2006, I think (or 2007 at the latest), and I went with a colleague to a company - the same one that, incidentally, gave us some decommissioned Digital AlphaStations. They showed me a machine (not connected to the network, obviously) that they were still using for payroll. I couldn't quite tell what it was exactly, but it was some kind of Unix system and it had been rebooted for the last time... in 1986. I believe it’s the longest uptime I’ve ever seen.

    Recently, srid, Jon Ringer and other banned nazis have put out a voting guide. Needless to say, they advice voting for 100% fash candidates, while also making legendary comments such as "prioritizes community health over tech, BAD".Fear not! There's now a good voting guide. Spread wide and far, folx! https://rentry.co/nixos-sc-election-guide-2025#Nix #Nixpkgs #NixOS #NixPol

    #Debian #armel has reached end of life with the release of #trixie and will not be included in #forky (already being removed from sid).Unfortunately, that means e-waste for the affected devices, such as several older #RPi editions (unless switching to Raspian, which may or may not even work or support them for longer and is effort anyway).armel has not been part of #LTS and #ELTS for a while, but this was not a problem as it’s a minority architecture and users could always upgrade (btw, if your armel box is still running bookworm, you’ll want to be on trixie by 2026-06-10).I asked for it to be included in trixie LTS and ELTS, so that the old hardware can be used mostly securely until about 2035 instead of 2028, and the limiting factor for this is not will or infrastructure but funding. (While most security fixes aren’t specific to one of the architectures in question, there’s still some overhead, and armel is often slower to build and may need some more hand-holding than the newer armhf and arm64, so I believe that funding is actually needed.)I’m just a private individual running one box with it I got as a gift, so I cannot offer much, but if you care about Debian and can offer funding, please approach @freexian (who organise LTS and offer ELTS as a separate-from-Debian offer) about this (and specifically mention armel).If someone has connections to organisations involved in devices that cannot run armv7 hardfloat Debian or better, such as the #Raspberry Pi foundation, please ask them to contribute to #Freexian in the same way, so we can have proper Debian on these devices for seven years longer than planned.Thanks in advance.
