Omg. I remember this.
Sigh. Rattle them sabers.
I have ties to Hawaii, so hearing the stories of folks from American Samoa is so fascinating and thought-provoking.
I know, lots of serious stuff happening in the world. Can't forget to laugh, though! Enjoy this classic!

"First time in nearly two years". Love the phrasing, where the 'nearly two years' is intended to be provocative. And here in the US, we haven't had a trade surplus since the 1970s.
Title speaks for itself. As those in the US are probably aware, the US hasn't had a trade surplus since the 1970s. If a highly-developed country like Japan, where its citizens enjoy a high standard of living, can rock a trade surplus...

Trivial to setup a repo mirror on git.sdf.org. Will be curious to see how this all goes.

On SDF, mostly. Locally, in a VM since a lot of my machine's bells and whistles are only enabled in Linux (and the commercial OSes).

My first SDF account was created in 2004 (possibly before). In economic terms, the SDF services I enjoy with my sustaining membership have no equal. You'd be hard pressed to assemble the same portfolio of services from corporate providers-- ad-free, nag-free, no user productization-- for the same price.
But that's superficial. While I certainly enjoy the services that SDF provides, the community is what sets it apart. I've been here, and am still here, because of the community-- even if I've been quiet until recently. We're all a bunch of geeks of x, y, or z. Whenever I venture into com, I feel a sense of belonging. When I skim the local SDF fediverse feeds, I feel the same way.
SDF's banner offering is its community. Cheers, SDF!

Takes me back! Dialed into our library's system-- Dynix based-- all the time to hold books!

Hello from my corner of the universe!
