+
+    This environment is only available during the EESSI tutorial at [ISC'26](https://isc-hpc.com),
+    on Monday 22 June 2026.

+
+!!! warning "Avoid losing any data!"
+
+    Please make sure you copy any important files before the end of the day,

+    you were using will be lost forever.
+
+

+
+    Afterwards, join the EESSI Slack via the "Slack channel" link on the EESSI website
+    [https://eessi.io](https://eessi.io), and ask your question there.
