If someone needs a powerful machine to run tests on or collaborate on other
Apertium-related tasks, there is one available over SSH at dev.apertium.org

Specs:
- Intel Xeon E3-1275 v5 @ 3.6 GHz (4c/8t)
- 64 GB RAM
- 2x 512 GB NVMe SSD in RAID1, of which 2x32 GB is swap
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, with Docker installed

I set it up for Nick Howell's attempt at building Chukti (which failed even
after consuming all 128 GB RAM) and he's been running various other tests
on it, but it would probably be nice to have a scratch space for everyone
to collaborate on - and this also ensures Torro (apertium.org main server)
is not used for development work.

So far, these people have SSH root access via SSH keys (no passwords
involved):
- Tino Didriksen
- Nick Howell (nlhowell)
- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer (Unhammer)
- Jonathan North Washington (firespeaker)
- Sushain Cherivirala (sushain)
- Francis M. Tyers (spectie)
- Xavi Ivars (xavivars)
- Daniel Swanson (popcorndude / mr-martian)
- Tommi Pirinen (Flammie)
- Tanmai Khanna (khannatanmai)

Feel free to add more people. Just don't step on others' work, and try to
keep the .ssh/authorized_keys file organized. Add users and/or use Docker
to keep your tests contained so they don't infest the whole machine.

And be mindful this is a scratch space server. No backups, no permanent
sites, everything is subject to nukes.
