This was back when your gitlab repo was of a size that was still cloneable,
Don't remind me of that. Or that time I had to relaunch the site and edit files from a smartphone because my computer broke. The gitlab repo has been cleaned a few days after the apocalypse, it's clonable again. The size displayed on gitlab wasn't updated but it's really 234.34 KiB. The commit history is only available on the github mirror though.
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/naughtybits/schemebbs.git

But self-hosting compilers are not silly!
Are you going to apply CPU quotas or are you going to give away free computing resources?
I have already done that in the past with a much less powerful server at a time when dedicated servers weren't so cheap. As strange as it seems, you can generally trust people. I have hosted a dozen projects, including a webradio and an ircd(*) and CPU usage was never a concern. There were about 50 accounts and I had to terminate only one of them: a moron who still used the server for UDP flooding after I have asked him to stop. Basically yeah, if anyone is interested or needs it, I can afford to share unused computing resources that are already paid for. I'm not going to put an ad on Google but I'd be very happy to provide hosting for Lisp Internet services.
The new server is not a beast but still ludicrously oversized for the 3 posts per day that SchemeBBS get at peak activity:
AMD Opteron 4122 4c/4t 2,2GHz
16Gb DDR3 1333 MHz
unmetered bandwidth
