etckeeper log and diff specific files

Written by Simone

store /etc in git, mercurial, brz or darcs

The etckeeper program is a tool to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, brz or darcs repository. It hooks into APT to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that version control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with version control.

Slixfeed News Bot Home

Written by Simone

Hello, do you remember about Slixfeed? Talked about that here a while ago.

Schimon, the bot's author, chose woodpeckersnest.space to host a new home for it and I was am very happy about that 😀

More to that, he also decided to move Slixfeed's source repository from "gitgud.io" to the Italian XMPP-IT Community GIT server - even if we're not sure everything will be migrated (WIP). Oh, I also want to mention the other XMPP-related projects which Schimon also moved to our community server, which you should check out!

Thanks Schimon for trusting us with your work. Keep it up!

Now, links!

Finally, I would like to remember you that the XMPP-IT Git server is not open to registrations, but if you want an account there to post your work (we only accept XMPP-related stuff!), you can request an account to one of the XMPP-IT admins or by sending an email to "admin [at] xmpp-it [dot] net" with desired username; we'll use that email address of yours to register the account and will set a password for you, to be changed at first login.

Thanks, bye 😀
