Excited to see ladybird get more mature. Can’t wait to see how well development goes over the next 2 years or so.

To the surprise of absolutely no one. Tends to happen when you cultivate one of the most tixic online spaces on the net. I’ve never asked a question on SO, but just the verbiage used to accost people just trying to learn is just insane. Mods don’t really care about post content as long as its not perceived as “hostile,” so you can be generally as passive aggressive and shitty as you want. It’s just…weird.

You can find especially viperis content when you find a question which has been answered, but someone is just like “Well, this isn’t the way that I do it!” etc, and then go on a tirade about how the question was asked poorly and the answer doesn’t completely answer the question.

Shit is just wild.

This was the winning argument for my boss for migrating to a modern server.

Exceptionally good news! Glad it’s working out. Be sure to make a new post when you decide what you go with, I’m sure people here would enjoy hearing about your approach.

What is a good approach to deploy docker images on a Raspberry Pi and run them?

See if they have a git repository and just clone then build the image yourself.

Ahh yes, as evidenced by absolutely nothing whatsoever, I mean Jesus Christ, the GNU ideologue is completely antithetical in every possible way to your statement…

GNU’s goal is to give computer users freedom and control in their use of their computers and computing devices by collaboratively developing and publishing software that gives everyone the rights to freely run the software, copy and distribute it, study it, and modify it.

You have less than zero idea what you’re speaking about…

I don’t think it’s wrong to bitch about the standards fragmentation in linux. For better or worse, it’s a serious issue within linux. Apple, for example has a closed ecosystem which is bad, but they have great ecosystem cohesion which is great for app development and reliable interaction between applications. IMO the cohesion to standards is one of the only good things iOS has going for it.

That’s a huge wall of text to still entirely miss the point.

So then it makes sense that you didn’t read it where I very specifically and intentionally touch the subjects you speak about.

If you’re not going to read what people reply, then don’t even bother throwing your opinion around. Just makes you look like an idiot tbh.

Depends on what you go for. I got my BS and MS entirely with *nix. There are some niche programs for specific majors which did not have alternatives and/or ways to run on *nix, so don’t be disappointed if you can’t find a solution.

Obviously, they monetize Codeberg because they’re providing a service. That monetization feeds Forgejo development. They could also sell official support for people hosting their own instances of Forgejo. This is a very common thing that open source companies do…

This is literally what I said in my original post. Free products must monetize, as they get larger they have to continue to monetize more and more because development and infrastructure costs continue to climb…and you budged in as if this somehow doesn’t apply to Forgejo and then literally listed examples of why it does. I mean, Jesus my guy.

You are claiming Forgejo will do this.

I’m claiming that it is a virtual certainty of the age of technology that we live in that popular free products (like Github) eventually balloon into sizes which are unmanageable while maintaining a completely free model (especially without restriction), which then proceed to get even more popular at which time they have to find new revenue streams or die.

It’s what’s happened with Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime Video, Discord, Reddit, Emby, MongoDB, just about any CMS CRM or forum software, and is currently happening to Plex, I mean the list is quite literally endless. You could list any large software company that provides a free or mostly free product and you’ll find a commercial product that they use to fund future development because their products become so popular and so difficult/costly to maintain they were forced into a monetization model to continue development.

Why you think Forgejo is the only exception to this natural evolution is beyond my understanding.

I’m fully aware of the difference between Codeberg and Forgejo. And Forgejo is a product and its exceptionally costly to build and maintain. Costs which will continue to rise as it has to change over time to suit more and more user needs. People seem to heavily imply that free products cost nothing to build, which is just insane.

I’ve been a FOSS developer for 25 years and a tech PM for almost 20. I speak with a little bit of authority here because it’s my literal wheelhouse.

Seems dubious, and will only work locally…

This is my opinion on it, too. Everyone is crying about the death of Github when they’re just cutting back on unauthenticated requests to curb abuse… lol seems pretty standard practice to me.

That’s a very accurate statement which has absolutely nothing to do with what I’ve said. Fact of the matter stands, is that those who generally seek to use a Github alternative do so because they dislike Microsoft or closed source platforms. Which is great, but those platforms with hosted instances see an overwhelmingly significant portion of users who visit because they choose not to selfhost. It’s a lifecycle.

1. Create cool software for free
2. Cool software gets popular
3. Release new features and improve free software
4. Lots of users use your cool software
5. Running software becomes expensive, monetize
6. Software becomes even more popular, single stream monetization no longer possible
7. Monetize more
8. Get more popular
9. Monetize more

By step 30 you’re selling everyone’s data and pushing resource restrictions because it’s expensive to run a popular service that’s generally free. That doesn’t change simply because people can selfhost if they want.

https://github.com/Droid-ify/client

Can use any open-android store repository, including IzzyOnDroid and F-Droid. It’s the only real choice.

VPN… This is a specific problem that VPNs were created to solve.

On your Wireguard network (or whichever), note your vLAN IPs, and configure rclone/rsync with them like normal. Ensure you’re connected to Wireguard and then run your command;

❯ fd --change-older-than 30days -X rclone sync phone:my/path/here pc:destination/path/here

Using a VPN ensures that regardless of WiFi/Cellular connections you’ll still be able to transfer at home, or remotely. Using methods like hostnames only work locally.

Until there will be.

I think people are grossly underestimating the sheer size and significance of the issue at hand. Forgejo will very likely eventually get to the same point Github is at right now, and will have to employ some of the same safeguards.

Then login.

That’s low enough that it may cause problems for a lot of infrastructure.

Likely the point. If you need more, get an API key.

I didn’t imply that Zorin was proprietary. I’m demeaning the actions of pay-walling a free OS as a proprietary action.

If you want to support a *nix distro, that’s awesome and I fully support you. What you shouldn’t support is distributions locking features behind a paywall.

This is how you get Microsoft Windows and Copilot.

To answer your question–Windows is destructive to *nix boot sectors. When you update Windows, it will bork your *nix install. Dual booting with Windows is a real PITA.

I was unaware of this change, and it’s perfectly acceptable. No one has any ground to lambast Signal for requiring phone numbers to get an account. I think that’s a perfectly reasonable spam mitigation technique. The issue is having to shotgun your phone number to every Howard and Susan that you want to use Signal to communicate with.

This was honestly the only thing holding me back from actually using Signal. I’ll likely register for an account now.
