@xpil for situations like this, I like to create a persistent reverse ssh tunnel that allows me to directly access host C from A by using B as a proxy like @robby metioned.
Here's a good write-up on how to do that with ssh-keys and create a service which will keep the tunnel up in case it ever goes down: https://dev.to/bulletmark/create-a-reverse-ssh-tunnel-for-remote-access-to-a-restricted-machine-1ma0

Am I the only one who gets anxiety from scheduling appointments?

1️⃣ I can't sleep the night before a trip.
2️⃣ I can't focus in the hours leading to a scheduled two minute phone call.
3️⃣ Asking for an appointment is the surest way to ruin my day.

My best work gets done at night.

Contributing to free software requires privilege. Even regular contributors might sometimes find themselves without it.

Time, focus and money. You might find yourself lacking in one of these at various points in your life.

While software projects from startups move like streams, most free software projects move like glaciers. They move slowly but they keep moving for decades.

Being away from a project doesn't mean you have to give it up. You can join back later.

So I was part of FSCI campaign [1] to setup FSCI Jitsi Meet instance [2]. It was a fun and learning experience. Wrote a blog post chronicling it [3].

@F1RUM Thanks. I bought the laptop that I am typing in right now from @abhas. Very very cool stuff!

@abhas wrote an article about it (in German) https://gnulinux.ch/libretechshop-bietet-freie-hardware

@abhas
Awesome shop! I wish that you shipped outside of India, but I wish you the best of luck.

Hello, free software community. This is a new libre software oriented computer shop opened in India by @abhas. You can think it is similar to ThinkPenguin and Technoethical in US and Europe but in India instead. Currently, it ships only in India but you can see everything about it is awesome. I think you will be interested.
