+ <description><p>So far, at least hydro-electric power, coal power, wind power,
+solar power, and wood power are well known. Until a few days ago, I
+had never heard of a stone power. Then I learn about a quarry in a
+mountain in
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremanger">Bremanger</a> i
+Norway, where
+<a href="https://www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/">the
+Bremanger Quarry</a> company is extracting stone and dumping the stone
+into a shaft leading to its shipping harbour. This downward movement
+in this shaft is used to produce electricity. In short, it is using
+falling rocks instead of falling water to produce electricity, and
+according to its own statements it is producing more power than it is
+using, and selling the surplus electricity to the Norwegian power
+grid. I find the concept truly amazing. Is this the worlds only
+stone power plant?</p>

- <description><p>Surprising as it might sound, there are still computers using the
-traditional Sys V init system, and there probably will be until
-systemd start working on Hurd and FreeBSD.
-<a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit">The upstream
-project still exist</a>, though, and up until today, the upstream
-source was available from Savannah via subversion. I am happy to
-report that this just changed.</p>
-
-<p>The upstream source is now in Git, and consist of three
-repositories:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
-<li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit.git">sysvinit</a></li>
-<li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/insserv.git">insserv</a></li>
-<li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/startpar.git">startpar</a></li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>I do not really spend much time on the project these days, and I
-has mostly retired, but found it best to migrate the source to a good
-version control system to help those willing to move it forward.</p>
