Curious of the status of the future of Guix QA as package definition
contributors rely on it for updating packages (sending patches to get
accepted/committed) in guix...

I'm curious too. Did anything come of the discussion a few weeks ago?

Here is a reminder that I offered my computing resources to host qa.guix 
[1] pro bono, at least temporarily, but I was not sure what to do or how 
to help.

Any update would be appreciated as well as [2].

Unless folks here know you already, it might be helpful to tell the list
more about what you do with that shiny and powerful equipment in your
living room. It would be an honor to get to know you better!

I have no position or authority in the project. I am merely a bystander
trying to be helpful.

Kind regards
Felix

Yes, you are right. And the honor is mine.

I only recently (6 months ago) joined the cause of free software 
movement. My roles in the GNU project: www.gnu.org Chinese (zh-cn) and 
Japanese web translator, GNU webmaster. My account name on Savannah is 
"jing", which is my given name.

> that shiny and powerful equipment in your living room.

I wouldn't say shiny, they are mostly second-hand or refurbished, but 
they are working really well and stable. Much of the equipment was 
purchased during the mining boom when I knew nothing about free 
software. When the crypto collapsed, I realized how unethical it was, 
and reused/repurposed the hardware for a homelab. Now I have more than 
30 VM/LXC running, for my self-hosted services and the mirror site 
repo.jing.rocks [1]. I loaned 1 LXC container to a friend of mine in BC, 
Canada who does scientific calculation. As a side note, my apartment is 
powered by renewable energy only (so the electricity company claims), 
you can say I'm making amends. Also repo.jing.rocks somehow has less 
outages than savannah.

I believe "sharing is caring". The services don't require much CPU power 
actually, and since I have spare storage space, I thought I could help 
the community I heavily rely on. The thing is that I'm still getting 
used to guix, and I'm struggling to know what/how to configure the 
system. I'm most familiar with Debian though.

Now, a message for x86_amd64 kernel developers on the list, which may 
look like an ad:
Are you suffering from long compiling time? Tired of waiting for the 
build to finish? I can loan a VM to you. With "make -j 200", it only 
takes 55 seconds to compile the kernel from scratch using the default 
kconfig, and 78 seconds with "make -j 128". Building GCC only takes less 
than 4 minutes- ("make -j 200"). Contact me for more details if you are 
interested.
