I suggest hosting it yourself, it's packaged for Debian at least... Fwiw, I have sox-devel and sox-users mirrors for the old lists at https://public-inbox.org/sox-devel/ and https://public-inbox.org/sox-users/ , respectively. You can mirror those, too (there's a "mirror" link w/ instructions and link to example config snippet in the upper right). For new lists you expect to get big, I suggest running public-inbox-init with `-V2' to enable the more efficient v2 storage layout (v2 requires SQLite, unlike the old v1) > How should I proceed to try PI for these needs Maybe the public-inbox-overview(7) manpage helps, and then see the mirror instructions and try setting up mirrors of the old lists. public-inbox-watch is what I use for maintaining mirrors, there's also a manpage for that. > Thanks & keep up the good work no problem :>
