Holla,

I finally finished setting up the public-inbox server at loa.loang.net.
It will replace lists.sr.ht as the official host for our mailing list.

Unlike other mailing list software, public-inbox does not push
new messages to subscribers' inbox, but let them pull updates
through various means, as currently set up, IMAP, Atom feed
and HTML archives.  Not only this ``pull'' model is cheaper to operate,
but also readers can subscribe or unsubscribe without any explicit
action from the server.

The new list's address is chung@loa.loang.net and the recommended
subscription method (for the ease of responding) is directly
through IMAP at imap://;AUTH=ANONYMOUS@loa.loang.net/inbox.chung.0

Any username:password works, even though https://public-inbox.org/README
recommends AUTH=ANONYMOUS.  Each inbox number, starting at 0,
is for a bucket of 50 thousand messages.

Alternatively, a web interface is available
at https://loa.loang.net/chung with an Atom feed
of the 25 most recent messages: https://loa.loang.net/chung/new.atom

Since the list is rather low-traffic and to ease the transition,
I will keep sending out carbon copies to ~cnx/loang@lists.sr.ht
until the end of May, 2024.  From June, announcements will only be sent
to chung@loa.loang.net.

If you use a service provided at loang.net, please subscribe
the new list for user-facing updates, including downtimes.
Please reply to this announcement if you have any trouble
in subscribing to the mailing list.  Questions and comments
are also welcomed.

Cheers,
~cnx
