I’ve been using static-web-server to host a local mirror for my machines, and the experience has been excellent.

It’s incredibly fast, lightweight, and easy to run and perfect for those times when you just want to serve files without the overhead of a full web server like Apache.

To make it even simpler for Slackware users, I wrote the https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/network/static-web-server/?search=static-web-server

In other news today, #Slackware home server is back online.

Next month is I will invest in a couple of UPS month.

Just finished updating my SlackBuild to build QEMU 10.1 cleanly on Slackware 🎉

✨ Highlights of QEMU 10.1 on x86_64:

- Improved CPUID handling (guests see cleaner CPU flags)

- KVM backend improvements (TDX/SEV-SNP support for servers on newer kernels)

- TCG accuracy improvements

Still runs great on laptops for daily Slackware VM use

I’ve updated my SlackBuild so it compiles QEMU 10.1 without Meson option issues.

On this day in 1993, Patrick Volkerding released Slackware 1.0, the oldest Linux distro still maintained!
Still simple, still solid, still Slackware.

It was #MOPSLinux 3.1 and it was based on the Slackware 10.1 with some additionals, like support of Russian language and custom installer.

On my lunch I've been reminiscing about the late 90's and how excited I was about running #Slackware #Linux 3.4 and #KDE 1 on my Intel Pentium 233MMX.

If anyone has Slackware Linux 32->4.0 jewel CD cases and wants to sell/give them to me, please get in touch! I lost mine in a house move and want them soooo much!
