<amz3>next week is fosdem!
<amz3>be ready!
<jeko>Yeah, I have to find a place to host my little family haha
<jeko>then I will be ready !!!
<amz3>jeko: you come to guile/guix event?
<jeko>I would love to !
<amz3>too bad, there is not much guile talks
<amz3>at the end of the day, it's mostly guile event.. :(
<amz3>I meant to say it's mostly a guix event
<jeko>amz3: there might have some other interesting talks anyway
<amz3>what's the status of l10n / i18 in guile-haunt?
<amz3>again someone complaining that there is no alternative to github / gitlab :(
<void_pointer>amz3: to be fair, not a lot of people know about nongnu.org among others
<void_pointer>especially if they are starting out. Now, if they have been using repositories for a while, then they should know about some of the others that exist
<amz3>in particular nongnu is broken
<amz3>but people don't know about savannah because it's unlike github, it's ain't modern look et al.
<amz3>I am not complaining btw
<amz3>using mailling list and IRC isn't strange to me
<amz3>maybe I am getting old or something, but people love to hate what is old
<void_pointer>that is fairly common in the computer world
<amz3>even if there is no technical or rational for that hate
<void_pointer>sometimes the old does need to be thrown out, but sometimes it is still good
<amz3>I agree
<void_pointer>curious. What about nongnu.org is broken right now?
<void_pointer>haven't checked any repos on it in a while
<amz3> http://www.nongnu.org: Not Found
<amz3>The requested URL / was not found on this server.
<void_pointer>hmm. http://nongnu.org is found and routes to https://savannah.nongnu.org
<void_pointer>seems like they have a major problem with domain name right now
<OrangeShark>amz3: void_pointer: looks like there was some configuration issues for dns last week https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-users/2018-01/msg00001.html
<void_pointer>hope they get it fixed soon
<void_pointer>been keeping nongnu.org in mind for future repository hosting
<void_pointer>at least for new stuff
<void_pointer>meant for others to use, not just myself
<void_pointer>might move the personal projects to gitlab from github sometime except for my two established projects which need to stay where they are I think
<CherryMan>what about bitbucket?
<void_pointer>I've thought about that one as well
<void_pointer>will end up looking again when decision time comes
<CherryMan>personally, I try to use Gitlab since it's the most "free" option there is, there is some non-free server side stuff
<CherryMan>I think that's in EE only
<void_pointer>CherryMan: you are right that that is EE only
<void_pointer>CE is all free software
<void_pointer>have run it myself and it isn't that hard
<daviid>nongnu is your best friend, then comes notabug.org, imo. nongnu will evaluate yur project, principally license wise, so you have to be ready to be evaluated, which is an excellent thing imo, then a bit patient as well... if you don't wan't that, then notabug comes first imo...
<daviid>all the rest is pure crap
<CherryMan>daviid: crap in what sense?
<civodul>wingo: how would you go about debugging fibers that go missing?
<civodul>in cuirass i sometimes have fibers that are apparently never rescheduled
<civodul>like one that does (while #t ... (sleep n))
<civodul>it doesn't die from an uncaught exception AFAICS, yet eventually, sometimes it doesn't wake up
