State Of The Org

• Mirrors is fixed!!
  • Mirrors was hacked and put into a botnet BUT IT'S FIXED NOW
  • REMEMBER TO UPDATE IN THE FUTURE WE NEED TO MAKE THIS FASTER
  • Previously was updated through salt, which made it hard to update
  • Hacked through rsync 0day
  • Fresh-installed FreeBSD
• New server things happening soon!
• We're hopefully getting proper storage soon
• Perpendicular
• We want more space, but we also cannot go into the WMTU rack. Nor do we need to. Such is the state of man.
• Focus less on servers in the future, Linux education should still be important
  • NOT DOWNSIZE, just don't expand further. The homelab is not everything and it takes a lot of work.
• Potential migration from Proxmox, but that would take a lot of time and effort.

At this point the room broke into separate conversations.
