Hi all, I'm making a minor change to gossip. Basically I'm moving from a power-thirsty server with resource hungry software to a more energy conscious platform.
This should not affect people very much; just some minor differences in the method for subscribing and unsubscribing to the list. Details are as usual in the FAQ or in the info page for gossip. The new system is undergoing beta test right now (you are receiving this message through it). If there are any problems whatsoever, please let me know. Feel free to also share opinions or thoughts. For those interested, the old platform was a beefy rackmount Pentium 4 running mailman, consuming a few hundred watts and mostly idle. The new platform is an nslu2 running Debian GNU/Linux and a list server called enemies-of-carlotta. (Yes, that's really the name.) I haven't measured exact power consumption yet, but it should be somewhere between 5 and 10 watts. It was time to replace the old server anyway, so why not take the opportunity to try a greener system.
