Don't believe the salesmen, self hosting Sentry has been the most liberating feeling in a long while. Buy a cheap dedicated server with 64 gigs of RAM from Hetzner, run their install script and it's literally up and running. I'm processing volumes that would bankrupt me on their managed service without breaking a sweat.
WhatsApp is a fact of life in locales like Europe, India and Indonesia. There is literally no avoiding it if you want to have a job or function in society.
The cynical take is that main was about shutting up Github employees protests against ICE contracts [1]. And it seemed to work: no more protests and another diversity consultant enriched.
I've come across these auto translated videos while traveling, and actually found them quite helpful. Lot of local "authentic" content that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
I guess I'll just chime in that while Gitlab is a very heavy beast, I have self hosted it for over a decade with little to no issues. It's pretty much as simple as installing their Omnibus package repository and doing apt install gitlab-ce.
Should I boycott all the grocery stores for stocking KitKats and starve myself? Throw out my electronics too? Which ethical laptop of indisputable virtue and purity would you recommend?
So what? If you spend any amount of time traveling outside the EU, there are dozens of copies of your passport floating around on hotel scrap paper, random employees personal phones and the like. Not to mention any other services, including those in the EU, that require KYC authentication. Just to add a data point I sent Hetzner my passport in 2009 and nothing bad happened.
Did you consider the possibility that not all people in the world enjoy such a huge degree of freedom of speech? If I had family in Russia and I didn't want them to fall out a window I would also "avoid getting involved". For the same reason I also recommend you don't try using Tiananmen 1989 as a conversation starter when talking to Chinese people.
I'll just chime in that Chinatown in Glodok might have been that place a couple decades ago, but seemed quite deserted now :/ There's still some shops around though.
Has the Linux community thought through the implications of using words like "containerization", when millions of slaves are still shipped around in shipping containers [1]? Docker is problematic technology to say the least.
"Was"? There are millions of people in slavery in the US penal system today. Entire cities like Dubai continue to be built by slaves. I, for one, find it to be extremely insulting towards their intelligence to think that unrelated use of the word "master" in a different context is somehow considered to be offensive.
