#TheDam: a #Guix public access server

#TheDam is a #PubNix –a public access #UNIX server–: a computer running the #GNU #Guix operating system, shared by different people over the internet.

Also the #TheDam is an experiment in shared and distributed computing:

the server runs services most people turn to corporate social media giants for: text messaging, link sharing and commenting, activity feed sharing; the dam services, by contrast, - follow the #UNIX and #suckless philosophy,
- respect their users’ privacy; the server provides a test bed for experimental software, for example ported from the #Plan9 operating system to #Linux, managed by #Guix; the resulting distributed computing environment blurs the boundary between client and server ; the community offers training sessions and challenges.
