NM Gluggers, First of all, always great to see all the conversatin and dialogue taking place, much enjoyed. Personally, the normal time rarely works for me as I teach secondary during the day and typically have college/tertiary office hours until 7pm after. Just wanted to say hi and update folks on the Mastodon and Matrix communities I set up. The Mastodon and Matrix communities are both self-hosted in a data center up at Brown Rice, in Taos NM. I recently upgrades the server with 8 enterprise SSDs in a RAID10/zfs array, along with 4 platter drives for backups. The server has over 500 available virtual cores, over 350GB of RAM, and I have a separate SuperMicro off-site (the old one) that I use as a backup server. All data are stored on either encrypted zfs data sets behind keys on luks volumes and/or FDE volumes. Personally, I find email to be very out of date for communicating and would love to get some more of our locals to hop in the Matrix for sure, and or - if you don't already have a Mastodon - to join there too! The Matrix community is now over 20 users and although the NM Glug channel is not yet thriving, the public glug channel is very active, with developers out of state regularly chiming in on projects and helping me with some of mine. I've also removed any cumbersome barriers to sign up now, and everything should just work. Well, hope y'all are well ... if interested, here's the links: Matrix - https://element.gnulinux.club (for sign up, and/or change the server for discovery and join pubglug and/or nmglug if you already have an account. Mastodon - https://gnulinux.social ... If you already have one, drop a follow to @oemb1905@gnulinux.social ... Stay well nerds and happy hacking. Back to teaching, enjoy your day and hmu if y'all have any questions. Kindly, Jonathan Haack
