Freexian ELTS repository added to apt-cacher

by Andy Smith

Hi, I've enabled deb.freexian.com on our apt-cacher. This is used for the Freexian Extended LTS project which provides security backports for selected Debian packages currently back as far as Debian 8 (jessie). This is a public repository, so nothing really special here, but you are supposed to cache or mirror it yourself so now we do that for you. More info: https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/docs/how-to-use-extended-lts/ https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Apt-cacher Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting

Hi, Self-install of Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) is now available from the Xen Shell. Thanks for your patience on this; I'm sorry it's taken so long.

BitFolk now listed in the JSfree.org directory of all things that work without JavaScript :-D

by James R. Haigh (+BitFolk subaddress)

Hey all, Good news for BitFolk here -- I have submitted 7 additions to the new JSfree directory in the past few days, and... today, Brad there has accepted and added 5 of them into his directory -- including BitFolk! :-D My other suggestions that have been added are W3M, Lynx, Links, and Wttr.in . :-D As of yet, the Viewable With Any Browser Campaign (which now links to JSfree.org since I suggested it to Cari there earlier this month) and Andrews & Arnold (which works without JavaScript except for its ordering pages, which can be bypassed by email or phone) have not yet been added but also not been rejected or commented on either by Brad, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. :-/ Brad also announced to me today JSfree's new mailing list over at SourceHut! :-D So if you are interested in the JSfree directory, you may like to join us over at: https://lists.sr.ht/~bt/jsfree-devel I think that this is great news! :-D Kind regards, James R. Haigh. -- Wealth doesn't bring happiness, but poverty brings sadness. Sent from Debian with Claws Mail, using email subaddressing as an alternative to error-prone heuristical spam filtering.
