Hi woofers! This is a short announcement to let you know that the server is going to be shutdown for some maintenance. I will be updating packages and rebooting, in addition to creating another latest sysroot backup and snapshot for emergencies. This comes a bit later than last time, i've been a bit busy with my classes ;p This will happen around 2023-11-17T12:00-0800. That's next Friday on the 17th, at around noon PST. We also have a slightly updated user list, which now shows links to user's web or gemini pages and detects if they exist. It was made with some help from ~kind_foxie. In addition, I plan on installing a fossil VCS server soon. As always, feel free to reach out and ask about software! Finally, as a small reminder, we have the UNIX.dog chatroom discuss@muc.unix.dog on XMPP for general server discussion or connecting with other doggies :3 I've also made a more general-purpose furry oriented room at floofers@mux.unix.dog, so join if you're interested x3 Thank you everyone! ~ Citlali (formerly Kayden)
