It is one of the machines in the NTPsec infrastructure. It serves the released 
tarballs, developer work files, and assorted miscellaneous files.

The general notion is to add the key to service1, so I can scp my files to 
james_fe80 at service1.ntpsec.org:/usr/local/jail/ftp.ntpsec.org/data/ftp/pub/

There are a few reasons I am unable to help the release process much.
- I can not merge to the blog repository.
- I can not approve or merge to the main repository.
- I do not have the release key or its password.
- I do not have NTPsec credentials for Fosstadon or X.
- I should not be looking at any of that.
- I do not have an account on service1.

Those are the things I perceive, some of them good, some annoying, some bad.

It appears that sometime *after May 2024*, I had forgotten about that.
