we are currently using jitsi meet for the meet-ups as gather.town has a 10 person limit
<dzoe>
Yet we are using it for Qi meetups.
<dzoe>
If it is _really_ crowded, it's five of us.
<dzoe>
Most of the time, it's two of us ;-)
<spdegabrielle>
Dominik?
<dzoe>
Yup
<dzoe>
As I said, IRC still rocks!
<spdegabrielle>
you are right as usual
<spdegabrielle>
but it is very quiet
<dzoe>
Sure, which is a good thing.
skeemer has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<spdegabrielle>
ok. I'll be quiet

good news about Debian 8.13.

yeah, I don't know what the situation is for Ubuntu and other derivatives these days
<spdegabrielle>
f/e
<spdegabrielle>
ubuntu users can use the Debian repos IIRC
<dzoe>
8.10 in 24.04 I am using
<bremner>
hmm. Actually they (ubuntu) seem to be copying the packages from Debian. I guess it is only the PPA that needs someone to care for it
<spdegabrielle>
can you not use apt with Debian-unstable
<spdegabrielle>
?
<bremner>
mixing distros get's into variations of DLL hell
<bremner>
it's better to rebuild the source packages in an appropriate environment
<spdegabrielle>
f/e
<dzoe>
Still much better than the glibc 2.2 upgrade in 2000 ... so many memories about that dselect-based dist upgrade :-D
<spdegabrielle>
when I last used ubuntu it was probably not that different to Debian
* spdegabrielle
shudders
<bremner>
right, it may well work in practice. I'm just speaking as "distro guy" trying to minimize crazy support requests
<spdegabrielle>
I mean't than in the 15 releases since I last used ubuntu it has become more its own distribution and drifted further from the Debian base it started with.
<spdegabrielle>
I won't make that suggestion to anyone as it is clearly bad advice now.
<dzoe>
spdegabrielle: also the current builds downloaded from racket-lang.org work like a charm
<spdegabrielle>
good old ` sh racket-8.13-x86_64-linux-cs.sh` never fails
