Gutenprint is also not packaged for 32-bit ARM (armel/armhf) in Debian 13 due to issues with 32-bit → 64-bit time_t transition on 32-bit platforms

Private repos were a paid plan on GitHub for a long time. Actually, a lot of people used GitHub for public stuff and BitBucket for private repos, because BitBucket did offer free private repos.
Yep, I still use it this way.
I believe that GitHub free for public only repo model is the reason why we have a lot of pet projects published, most of which were not really intended to be published to begin with.

Current FreeBSD 14 is the latest branch to support x86 32-bit. The upcoming 15 won't support it.
Roman Shtylman has an example of using a Dockerfile to produce a rootfs for the Jetson Nano: https://github.com/defunctzombie/jetson-nano-image-maker (2022)
I've always been hesitant to use this method over debootstrap: the Ubuntu container images ("FROM ubuntu:20.04") are created from a tarball that Ubuntu's convoluted CI system spits out and I'm not confident I understand if it's somehow suitable only for a container and not for real hardware.
The alternative is mkosi from systemd developers

However beware that they break backwards compatibility almost every 6 months. This is probably the most backwards-incompable project I know, you can't rely that the minor version update won't break your projects.
For my projects, I prefer to collect the money for the whole year operation in advance. This allows me not to refer to subscription model, yet not to ask for donations every month.

Hmm. I wonder if there would be a market for a super simple TOTP authentication device with an e-paper display. Kind of like those RSA tokens with the LCDs, but more modern and able to hold any number of TOTP credentials.
Getting the credentials loaded could be a bit of a pain without a camera for QR code scanning. Easiest solution would be via Bluetooth to a companion app, which you would probably want anyway for periodic time sync (likely wouldn't be worth it to embed a GNSS receiver just to update the time).
Probably be a pretty small market, but as a niche Kickstarter device? I could see a small but loyal customer base.
Flipper Zero supports that

The same applies for translation systems.
I translate a bunch of open-source software, if the translation is on weblate, transifex or crowdin.
I never going to translate .po files directly. It's just not worth it.

Please consider adding this and possibly other algorithms to CUPS printing system. Easiest is to add it into ghostscript.
Blast from the past. The 1990's and 2000's were a different time.
Does anybody know how many active projects are still left there? And who wound up owning them after Slashdot?
