Charlotte Aten<p>Update on my interest in moving away from <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GitHub</span></a> to another code forge. I was excited about <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Radicle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Radicle</span></a> because it is meant to be <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/P2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>P2P</span></a>, but I ended up deciding against it. Besides the use of cryptocurrency for fundraising/management being a red flag, I found that I needed a seed node with a dedicated address in order to host a private repo, which doesn't feel truly P2P.</p><p>I also want to be able to convince other people to use the code forge with me to write code and papers. The added complexity of Radicle (from a user's perspective) seems like even more of an uphill battle than getting mathematicians to choose git instead of <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Overleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Overleaf</span></a>. (By the way, we could use a <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> Overleaf alternative.)</p><p>Due to these considerations, it looks like self-hosting <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@forgejo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>forgejo</span></a></span> is the way to go! (Even if it's not P2P.)</p><p>Anyway, I have gotten set up with a European VPS thanks to <a href="https://european-alternatives.eu/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">european-alternatives.eu/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and have a Debian machine running.

In all cases I need to use the web UI to finish installation. Am I supposed to have no CLI alternative for this? I feel like installing a desktop environment on my VPS is not the answer, but I'm not sure what else to do here.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SelfHosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosted</span></a></p>

Wes Cowley<p>Overleaf's support replied this morning that they'd just pushed an update that includes the new Error Assist in the same toggle that controls the Writefull integration.

Wes Cowley<p>Has anyone figured out how to turn off this stupid AI error assist that Overleaf added?

FYI #Academics using #overleaf + git: there seems to be a problem where the cloned repo is different from the online version. At least we have two reproducible examples in my larger collab.

Online support contacted.

Be careful and check your text in case this is crucial!

[got confirmation from support that this is real - though and edge case - , they are aware + working on this to solve it asap.]
