Github is THE main platform for git. If github doesn't upgrade (and their code has been shit and hard to fix/update before) then the shift will not happen. Because yes, you can upgrade your repo independently, but if there is nowhere to push, no one will do it.
IPv6 is (also because of github) a great example for this. You can easily have an IPv6 address next to your IPv4 address, but a lot of websites (e.g. github) don't have that. Why would a normal company use IPv6 if even the bastion of nerds doesn't use it?
And to Python 2's "eventual migration" I can unhappily tell you, that my company (recently) bought an actively developed tool, that still uses Python 2.

Yes, some people have fun, but most of the "fun" nowadays is just endless mindless consumption.
Also measuring a proof of concept by LOC of all metrics just tells you to completely ignore this blogpost as utter bs. No sane person should use LOC as a metric for anything. Linus Torvalds recently said that himself.
Oh, sorry. You already said that. :D
Codeberg is the (Github-alike) central forgejo server, where the team develops and which is also available for general open source coding needs. ForgeFed issues are tracked on Codeberg, so they already show their interest.
Senior VP at CrowdStrike, so a professional in destroying large amounts of systems.

Sure, might as well call it that.
Probably all of the current problems in my life could be solved with money.
I had to laugh very hard at the "revolutionary approach". How is it revolutionary, if software was developed "local-first" for decades?
Techbros really do come up with the oldest ideas and call them revolutionary.
Mullvad has had multiple public audits and even contributed to other security-related open source projects. You don't have to create an account and they even take cash by mail. It can't be more anonymous than that.
Astrill on the other hand has had no public audits, and costs more than twice as much. It is not worth the price, since their security can't be checked by normal users. Also they require an account. Furthermore even in their FAQ they don't say that they wouldn't give the data to a court. They ask the question, but don't really answer it.
I would never buy a VPN from a company like that.
I remember that 20 years ago we had a problem with our self-bought router and a technician came, fixed the issue without telling us how (although it was our router, where he changed the config) and then just went off.
At first I thought, this was some Pi Pico shell-stuff with a web-interface, but the site doesn't really tell.
It's proprietary in a way, tries to seem open sourcey?
Gives you a way to have a static website or blog hosted?
I am still not sure, what they do, but they have a plus-tier which requires you to ssh-forward the port 1337, so they are hackers at least...
1. CSV is underspecified Okay, so specify it for your use case and you're done? E.g use rfc3339 instead of the straw-man 1-1-1970 and define how no value looks like, which is mostly an empty string.
2. CSV files have terrible compression and performance Okay, who in their right mind uses a plain-text-file to export 50gb of data? Some file systems don't even support that much. When you are at the stage of REGULARLY shipping around files this big, you should think about a database and not another filetype to send via mail. Performance may be a point, but again, using it for gigantic files is wrong in the first place.
3. There's a better way (insert presentation of a filtype I have never heard of) There is lots of better ways to do this, but: CSV is implemented extremely fast, it is universally known unlike Apache Parquet (or Pickle or ORC or Avro or Feather...) and it is humanly readable.
So in the end: Use it for small data exports where you can specify everything you want or like everywhere, where you can import data, because most software takes CSV as input anyway.
For lots of data use something else.
Friends don't let friends write one-sided articles.
Erm I mean "Cow".
It is kinda nice, to quickly search your history and that part works really well, but what I don't like (maybe there are configs for it) is that you:
1. have an additional button press for the usual "get me that last operation" and
2. it searches all sessions (which is mostly nice, but sometimes annoying, I guess)
I feel a little attacked by the 2022.
Nevertheless this list is awesome.
The thread itself on CKTN is weird and misleading also. I mean "Not really a suprise." ?? What?
From the Mull-Dev: (on reddit [1]) Why are you, a r/fossdroid mod, spreading blatant misinformation? Mull does not have trackers, those are either completely disabled or stubs. [...] Why would I bother with enabling so many privacy features to just throw it out the window as is independently tested here?
