Damien Goutte-Gattat<p>Over the past 5 hours, my personal web server has received about ~56,000 requests, at a very regular rate of 3 requests per second, hitting every single link and in particular every single commit in the history of every single projects hosted on my <a href="https://social.incenp.org/search?tag=Gitea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gitea</span></a> instance.</p><p>Those 56K requests came from 54,786 different IP addresses. 53,606 of those addresses were used only once, 1,129 were used twice, and the remaining 51 were used between 3 and 8 times.</p><p>None of those requests self-identified as a bot.

Hi, I set up an Gitea server on my servers in the EU powered by my own solar power and I want to share it with you. You can upload your repository there or mirror it or help me to mirror major repos there. Feel free to use it as well for your projects.

Wenn ich gerne meinen #forgejo / #gitea server als primäre #git senke nutzen mag, aber dennoch nach #github mirrore, damit andere menschen sich erfreuen und mitmachen können.

wie sorge ich dafür, dass deren pull requests bei github ebenso zu mir nach forgejo / gitea fliessen wie meine änderungen es heute schon von forgejo nach github tun?

Today's #wtf computing moment; There seems to be no way to let a downloaded, LaunchDaemon started, app on #macos have access to my LAN unless the developer does some magic to it (e.g. an interactive mechanism to trigger a LAN access permission dialog).

This means the shared cache I have on my LAN for my act_runner instances can't be used by the runners on macos, because macos blocks access to it.

Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:
androidauthority.com/google-no
(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

Mozilla shuts down the Orbit AI add-on for Firefox, replicates its functionality with built-in features:

(Yay, more AI crap to the browser... More work for LibreWolf devs to remove all that crap...)

Linux Foundation launches FAIR package manager for WordPress, with API replacement and decentralized package management:

@timbray

So they use #Gitea under the hood and don't reference it once?

That's a very questionable business model, especially if the underlying tool is #FOSS.

Btw, there are more open/transparent other Forgejo/Gitea-based instances like #codeberg (codeberg.org) or #codefloe (coefloe.com)

Die können Spenden gebrauchen für einen neuen und etwas dickeren Server.
Wer 'n Zettelchen über hat und ein wirklich cooles Projekt supporten möchte, möge das bitte grad _jetzt_ tun.
