And yes, whoever uses #discord for #documentation and #versioning instead of a goddam #git [doesn't have to be @github / #GitHub or @gitlab / #GitLab or @Codeberg / #Codeberg or even @gitea / #Gitea - just use any git and write down your documentation in a useable format like #Markdown or goddamn ASCII plain text FFS] should be banned for life from #coding, working in #IT or contribute to #FLOSS.

  • Because it's literally worse than people shitting "#Ai" #Slop all over the place cuz that can be fixed faster and easier by backrolling said commits and banning the offender!

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 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.))

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.
