Added another architecture to my Linux-libre APT repository at https://jxself.org/linux-libre - 64-bit SPARC processors. There are freely-licensed designs like the OpenSPARC at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSPARC which has been placed under the GPL. Why should RISC-V get all of the love for that? :) This brings the number of supported architectures up to either 12 or 13, depending on how you count. What next?
amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, m68k, or1k, powerpc, ppc64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x, sparc64

Added another architecture to my Linux-libre APT repository at https://jxself.org/linux-libre/ - The Motorola 68000 series (68020 or later; an MMU is required.)
A friend of mine had been saying they wanted this for a while. This brings the number of supported architectures up to either 10 or 11, depending on how you count. What next?
Happy GNUiversary!

This is really rude of you Corona chan, our country too deserves a "thank you" from you.
I just realized that my APT repository for Linux-libre is 9 years old this month.

Ah, well at least now they explicitly call out that they're in the "Embrace" phase. :)

Does anyone plan to watch the launch of Perseverance and Ingenuity on Thursday? I understand the launch will be streamed live via NASA TV.

I like my GNU/Linux distros to be boring and uneventful. Specifically: Releases that happen at 2 - 5 year intervals and where package version numbers are frozen in time on release. This lets me work on the things I want to work on and not spending my time on fixing the distro. Can't remember where I heard this one: "The bleeding edge is stained by the blood of the users."
A free software & free culture activist. I maintain the public APT repository for Linux-libre; the freedom-respecting version of the kernel named Linux.
