The "New Techrights" Turns Two Very Soon
Earlier this year: Techrights Disconnected From the United States Two Years Ago
Speaking of birthdays, 4 weeks from now the "new Techrights" (SSG, no PHP anywhere) turns 2. It'll also be 2 years since the site moved to the UK, also in terms of hosting, not authorship (prior to that it had been hosted from the US since 2006). We don't plan any party or anything like that for the "new Techrights" anniversary because it would seem pointless, knowing the FSF turns 40 a couple of weeks later and "Techrights" in general turns 19 in early November. Its sister site is even older (its roots are connected to PCLinuxOS); it'll turn 22 next summer.
Funny side story: right now I make backups of backups of my file system as it was back in 2004. I ran SuSE back then. It's not likely I'll ever make use of those backups, but it doesn't harm to keep old files. Storage got a lot cheaper.
Generally speaking, birthdays come and go; but what matters isn't those birthdays but all the things which happen in between them. Accomplishing something each year is what's important, not merely "finishing" another year. The first post of this year was #7326 and the previous one was #11226. This means we'll have published about 4,500 in total when the 2-year anniversary is reached (less than 9 months into 2025). Some of those posts are very long and detailed. A lot of the material is exclusive.
We already have a ton of original material to publish next year and in later years. █
