The latest update I see at https://hostux.social/@fsfstatus says as of 10 hours ago: "savannah.gnu.org documentation pages and file download links are fixed. I'm not expecting to make any more posts here about savannah anytime soon. Yay. - Ian" Unfortunately, in the past 2-3 hours I am getting HTTP "502 Bad Gateway" errors when I try to access the Savannah bug tracker. E.g., https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/ It was up for at least a few hours today, which was pleasant for me because I got to make some headway on some groff issues. Please keep us advised. Maybe the bots will slow down as the new calendar year marches around the globe; my hypothesis is that there's a blitz of crawling and content-Hoovering by "AI" startups desperate to slap together MVPs by the end of 4Q2025 so they can put on dog-and-pony shows for the VCs or private equity funds or whoever pays to keep their lights on. With any luck, those lights will be getting switched off soon, along with the power to the machines hosting the crawlers. Investors will retrench, bubbles will burst, and a fresh bevy of 20-something tech bros will be released from employment. Will they learn from this experience? As they commiserate with each other over Discord channels, I predict the glibber among them will nod sagely as they make portentous but vague and facile claims about "the tragedy of the commons". https://climateandcapitalism.com/2008/08/25/debunking-the-tragedy-of-the-commons/ Regards, Branden
