remove old closed bugs and todo items to speed up wiki updates and reduce size
Remove closed bugs and todos that were least edited before 2014. Command line used: for f in $(grep -l '\[\[done\]\]' *.mdwn); do if [ -z $(git log --since=2014 --pretty=oneline "$f") ]; then git rm $f; git rm -rf $(echo "$f" | sed 's/.mdwn$//'); fi; done

-This is just an idea, and I have no idea if it would work (that's why I'm asking):
-
-**Would it be possible to use ASICs made for Bitcoin mining inside git-annex to offload the hashing of files?**
-
-I got the idea, because I have two RaspberryPis here:
-
-- one runs my git-annex archive. It is really slow at hashing, so I resorted to using the WORM backend
-- another one runs 2 old-ish ASIC miners. They are just barely "profitable" right now, so in a few months they will be obsolete
-
-Both devices to some kind of `SHA256`. I have a feeling this is either extremely easy or extremely complicated to do… :)
-
-> git-annex uses binaries such as `sha256sum` for hashing large files (large is
-> currently hardcoded as bigger than 1MB). If you insert a binary with the same
-> interface as `sha256sum` into your `$PATH`, git-annex will automatically use
-> it. If you want to use ASIC hashing even for small files, you need to tweak
-> `Backend/Hash.hs`. --[[HelmutGrohne]]
