Grand ceiling in the Mozilla office in Paris!
This French internet doesn't quite work right... I telnet to _my_ mailserver, and somehow I end up somewhere else!
214-2.0.0 To contact postmaster send email to postmaster@orange.fr.
I'm liking the free internet access on Eurostar trains :) I don't think this was the case a few years ago... but the latency is pretty bad! I'll be impressed if git fetch finishes running by the time I arrive!
On my way to Paris now, for some #guix and reproducible builds fun!

Proprietary software places power in the hands of companies and developers instead of users. Help us to seize back control: donate to the FSF today! https://u.fsf.org/15q https://status.fsf.org/attachment/718451
Excellent talk by @johns about communication tools at #freenodelive. The network effects of communication tools are so important!

#fsf uses #freenode for 'speeches' http://www.fsf.org/events/john-sullivan-how-can-free-communication-tools-win-freenode-live-bristol-uk Freenode IRC network is awesome and has helped #techrights so much for over a decade. Love it.

bootstrap-gash; so without bash, coreutils, gzip or tar #bootstrappable

Happy birthday to GNU. This is the original announcement of the GNU Project, posted by Richard Stallman on September 27, 1983. https://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.en.html

Guile now has a JIT compiler that is about 80% faster than 2.2's VM. I hope to take it for a spin soon and run a 2D sprite rendering benchmark.
