What's the difference? As far as I can tell, Helium is just rebranded Ungoogled Chromium with pre-installed extensions or something.

I used VSCodium before and found it to be a massive waste of time for no benefit. A significant number of extensions either aren't in OpenVSIX (or whatever it's called), or don't work for some reason. Just disable telemetry in VSCode and you're good.

Happy Ungoogled Chromium user though

Have you considered that maybe, just maybe, you can have both an easy path to your paycheck and care about software engineering? You also might have an incorrect definition of "software engineering" in mind

Drew is the weird one.

I constantly see those projects that would benefit from a screenshot in a readme, but for some reason the thought about adding one doesn't even come to the authors' mind, even though it's pretty obvious. I'd really like to know what's going on.

AI;DR

Because it's convenient, and the security of this doesn't matter for desktop usage.

OK... and? This doesn't matter for a desktop, because:

1. Having access to the user's home directory is way more serious than being able to install drivers or whatever

2. There are a million other ways to escalate to root by obtaining the user's password

I also don't understand the point of these distros, just install Arch with KDE via archinstall, it literally takes 15 minutes. Why is it that people feel the need to use someone's Arch setup?

Self-hosted GitLab and self-hosted GitLab Runners (Omnibus Docker image)

What world are you living in where Protobuf/gRPC are considered "legacy"? ..what?

For sure everyone will start using "weird and new" browsers that waste their time by breaking websites xD

Chromium is an open source project, forks such as Ungoogled Chromium exist, I literally had 0 issues with uBOL on Ungoogled Chromium.

People who complain about MV3 probably spent more time complaining about it than actually trying uBOL and seeing that it works just fine.

Why do you feel the need to label the content when the quality of the content will speak for itself?

It doesn't matter where the content comes from, only the quality/usefulness matters. If you are opposed to this idea, the next decades are going to be very tough for you :)

No, it is part of the "I just want stuff to work" strategy

"The way you expect" is probably inconsistent and, upon closer inspection, completely broken.

There is a reason why systemd became the default and other niche init systems have faded into obscurity.

Sure, it may be more complex than your pile of shell scripts, but that's because it does the same things better, and has a lot more functionality that you will need at some point, and good luck replicating that by hacking shell scripts.

The whole point of martial arts is the art itself.

The point of software isn't the process of creating software (it was never about that), it's the end result, and all people care about is that the end result is good. And if you don't like that, you can choose another industry.

1. Random dude self-hosts a Git instance

2. Gets mad that people he doesn't like DARE to sign up and use it

3. Announces that he won't allow people he doesn't like

4. Makes a big deal out of it like anyone cares

I dunno this is hilarious but pretty sad, the guy clearly has issues

Why would you write like that? Not capitalizing the first word of a sentence makes the whole thing less readable. So that you can feel special? Really?

That's all good until you discover that Forgejo is very barebones compared to GitLab, and you inevitably end up recreating GitLab featureset by using some scripts/addons from random people and pray it doesn't shit itself

Isn't it better to invest your time in setting up GitLab once and not have to deal with Forgejo being a toy project?

It literally takes 1 compose.yaml to self-host GitLab Omnibus, and 1 compose.yaml for the runner. You have been misled by suckless fans if you think that self-hosting GitLab is more complex than Forgejo.

> Last time I ran gitlab, it required oodles of memory - it's just me!

It requires what, 8GB of RAM? That's not "oodles" by any definition.

You can just self-host GitLab CE and use self-hosted ElasticSearch integration to set up code search. I really don't understand the point of Forgejo, sounds like making your life harder

You'd be surprised how easy it is to self-host GitLab with Docker Compose, GitLab has an official "Omnibus" Docker image. No need to handicap yourself with Gitea/Forgejo/whatever, you can just use an industry-standard platform without much effort.

Hardware requirements are nowhere close to high either.

Just use the C.UTF-8 locale:

SI units everywhere

ISO date and time

American English

24 hour clock

etc

I think Windows has "English International" locale or something

It matters because if you can't determine if something is child porn, then you'll end up overblocking, so it doesn't matter if it "exists" and "should be censored"

How do you know if something is child porn?

Here's a nickel kid. Go buy yourself a real computer.

> good and right

For who?

> The problem

There is no problem, just pirate it.

> its unethical (and illegal)

I guess I'll just keep doing it then, and someone else can keep crying about it on orange computer reddit website

You're making money, just don't think about it and you'll be fine. Retire when you feel like it and do whatever

This one is so riddled with this LLM language it makes me think it's on purpose

Claude, generate an article that will get to HN front page. Make no mistakes.

> And being a cat and mouse game doesn’t mean the defenders failed.

It does though, in the end attackers always win. If something is a "cat and mouse game" then it's unwinnable by design from the defender side.

Sure, you can keep playing it if you feel like it, but at some point the attacker will be indistinguishable from a legitimate user and you will lose that fight.
