I think I heard Xavier say something about teamwork between Nix and guix, which would be good because I don't think we need $2^n$ incompatible package managers.

The first half-hour or so was near intolerable, but then the noise stopped and the camera stopped bouncing and all was good. -- Keith

I just got a wad of messages from last week. Don't know what happened, but it looks like not my fault. MX1.WPI.EDU takes seven days to deliver a message to itself. Why exactly seven days? (plus one second) Not my problem, I'm still thinking about Knuth Vol 4B, problem 121, and how to prove the Myhill-Nerode theorem in a monoidal closed category. This a test. Is it still April? My calendar says May, but it's 2009. I save paper by using old caledars (there's always a month that starts on the same day of the week). -- Keith

Not again! You have now apologized four or five times, but just two of those times included the date. Once Wednesday, once Thursday. I was not being sarcastic; I wanted to know the answer. Since you quoted James, who said Thursday, and did not correct that, I'm going with Thursday. If that's wrong, sorry I will miss it.

I can't go to Technocopia, but I plan to log in to https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA You didn't mention that, but I hope and assume it is still on. Some people on the mailing list expressed an interest in document (book) production systems. I have made a few slides and planned a short presentation of how I use LaTeX. I wouldn't want to take the whole meeting, but maybe 10 min depending on how many questions people ask. I don't know what mastodon, revolt, or tailscale are. Will google. I know what a (rasberry) pi is, but don't see how it helps. The problem is not the hardware in our houses, assuming you control the software (like Linux), and it is not installed and updated by sinister forces (like MS Window). The problem is how to communicate through the internet without your messages going into sinister databases. I used to run a smtp mail server on a computer in my basement with a DSL connection and static IP address. They broke that. Now my Rogue-ness consists in using a VPS in the cloud to do it. Theoretically, the VPS provider could monitor everything I do, but I am reasonably confident that I am not worth the trouble. If the CIA or DOD use Windows or a cloud server, they have a problem, because they are worth a lot of trouble. -- Keith
