[cfarm-users] Compile Farm acceptable usage---low priority batch jobs

Are you an LLM or something? This is so obviously nōnsense…

Access to a gratis resource that’s made for the benefit of FOSS
is a privilegue, not a right. There’s no “freedom” involved.

I’m also in favour of a ban of all cryptocurrency activities.

In general I’d ask people who run longer-term jobs to nice(1)
them, and people who do builds that aren’t over in a handful
of minutes to limit parallelisation, so that those of us who
do quick-shot interactive testing of things don’t get delayed
too much. In my experience, though, resource usage hasn’t been
high enough to seriously hamper testing yet so I guess people
already do that anyway (thank you).
