    Hi!

    In the DEP-18 thread surprisingly many (e.g. Salvo, Johannes, Andrea,
    Gioele) complained about Salsa being slow to load, or having
    connectivity issues.

    I am thus happy to note that the Salsa admins posted in https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/395 a comment stating
    that salsa.debian.org is about to get a hardware update which should
    make it a tad snappier.

    Salsa recently gained a shared riscv64 runner so you can now test a
    new architecture in Salsa-CI, and based on https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/266 and https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/301 more shared
    runners on various architectures might be coming.

    Salvo and others also pointed out that "git push" occasionally failed. According to https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/381 that
    issue should be fixed by now. I also remember seeing this earlier, but
    I have not experienced it a single time in at least two weeks.

    One remaining thing that affects negatively salsa.debian.org are
    occasional HTTP/2 errors. If you also experience these, you might want
    to +1 the issue https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/404 or
    help the Salsa admins debug it.


    As you probably guessed, I am a heavy user of Salsa, and very grateful
    to Salsa admin for maintaining it!
