Pivotal Day for tuxmachines.org

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 16, 2026

Yesterday: Microsoft Down, tuxmachines.org Up | A Week Ago: Year 23

A week ago we traveled to celebrate with community friends. Over a week ago we also arranged our desks and living room for a more festive atmosphere, knowing the balloons would likely last (partially inflated) for 1-2 months to come, i.e. long enough to fully deflate when - or some time before - Rianne has her birthday.

Today is a special day for us because we look ahead and leave behind a hardship.

Seeing that Windows is in a freefall, here in Europe and in general, this site is more relevant than ever before. █
