<zimoun>hi!
<PurpleSym>civodul: You’re probably intentionally skipping authorization when just writing about adding the substitute server URL? The link to https://ci.genenetwork.org/ is broken. And it’s also unclear to me who „we“ is. At first it’s „our research institutes“, then Inria, then some nebulous teams.
<civodul>PurpleSym: good points
<civodul> https://ci.genenetwork.org works for me
<civodul>PurpleSym: re authorization, which part are you referring to precisely?
<PurpleSym>The clickable link refers to https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/master/Laminar for me.
<PurpleSym>I was refering to “Any Guix user may add ci.guix.gnu.org to their list of substitute URLs”, but I guess that’s a special case anyways, because it’s always authorized by default.
<PurpleSym>Not saying that we should mention it in the article, just asking whether it was an intentional choice or not.
<civodul>right
<civodul>in that case, it's intentional
<civodul>because it's authorized by default as you write
<PurpleSym>Alright. Explaining authorization wouldn’t really fit in this article, I feel. So, good 🙂
<civodul>ACTION fixes the link
<civodul>pushed
<civodul>i tried to avoid "we", but i also want to avoid passive forms
<civodul>tricky
