Agreed. I'm aware that this was a read only version as my migration to
self hosted Gitea consisted in reading old StHub repositories and
writing new versions on Gitea, using GitMigration, while learning
Iceberg... Now I'm reading books and seeing series on this forced coding
break. Trying to see the bright side ;-).

I was working on migrating Grafoscopio from 7.x to 8.x and from StHub to
Gitea and building a new hobby project related with Table Top Role
Playing (TTRPG) powered by Pharo (news when is more mature). At some
point I needed TaskIt with futures provided in the bug fix proposed to
Santiago by Norbert. But I was unable to load the issue fix branch on
7.x. So I said, what the heck lets inmerse on 8.x, using use Grafoscopio
there and let's migrate all the remaining pre-requisites for this, so I
can also ask for support in the official platform. That was when the
StHub down hit me since Friday. But I'm catching on inspiring series and
reading for the TTRPG project... so it has been a good weekend anyway :-).

Thanks for Iceberg and all the work you do on infrastructure behind
Pharo. As Susan Leigh Star[1] said, infrastructure is invisible until it
fails. That doesn't mean that I don't value the work behind it.

Cheers,

Offray
