  • What's your favorite IDE right now?

    Jump

  • I use vscodium and it is available on AUR (vscodium / vscodium-bin). Supposedly there are some plugins not available for it, but i don't use a ton of plugins and the ones I used in vscode were available in vscodium when i switched.

  • Git Your Freedom Back: A Beginner's Guide to SourceHut

    Jump

  • Why Not Use…?

    I am aware that there are many other git “forge” platforms available. Gitea, Codeberg, and Forgejo all come to mind. Those platforms are great as well. If you prefer those options instead of SourceHut that’s fine! Switching to any of those would still be a massive improvement over GitHub.

    Unfortunately, I find the need to have an account in order to contribute to projects a deal breaker. It causes too much friction for no real gain. Email based workflows will always reign supreme. It’s the OG of code contributions.

    Ive been using codeberg(a public forgejo) and it felt more familiar coming from github/gitlab. Sourcehut wasn't bad, but it did feel quite a bit different and i admittedly didn't get too far past that. I do like the idea of contributing without an account though. i know that it's a git feature to create a patch file but having a forge support it is neat.

    Semi related, I do look forward to federation of forgejo which i think helps the "needing an account" somewhat. I think it's less unreasonable to expect someone to have an account on -any federated forge- than to have an account at the specific forge my project is on.

    Good article though. It did help make sourcehut make more sense than the first time i looked at it

  • Canonical Will Donate $120k to Open Source Projects This Year

    Jump

  • On one hand it is nice to see companies give back.

    On the other hand, their revenue was $249 million in 2023 and their income after expenses/taxes was 8 million.

    • 120,000 / 249,000,000 = 0.048% of revenue.
    • 120,000 / 8,000,000 = 1.5% of their income.

    It just seems like a small amount to give back for how much they are bringing in.

  • Jellyfin troubles - phone cannot reach

    Jump

  • You're not connected to wifi or vpn from the looks of it. jellyfin is hosted on your local network. You need to be connected to that network for any device you want to access it. The most direct way is to connect via wifi. If you want access from outside your house you'll need to look into opening a remote connection via something like cloudflare tunnel

  • [Answered] Organic maps archived their forgejo repository

    Jump

  • Wait, organic is a forprofit publicly traded company?

    Yeah, this is a surprise. And its even called out in the open letter

    The Organic Maps project has been built and promoted under the premise of being an open community project, so it's troubling to discover that the majority of shareholders consider it to be their sole property. [...] (see Addendum for the details)

    Then in Addendum:

    The role of Organic Maps OÜ

    It's a for-profit company (an LLC basically) registered in Estonia:

    ariregister.rik.ee/eng/company/16225385/Organic-Ma...

    The company holds key project assets, e.g. the trademark and the app store accounts. git.omaps.dev/organicmaps/organicmaps/src/branch/m... states that "The primary purpose of the entity is to shield the project's members from personal liability and to ensure the legal protection of the project's assets."

    Until recently there was never a mention that the shareholders treat their shares as their personal investment. Even that explanation document was only added to project's repository 4 months ago - before that the only brief mention of Organic Maps OÜ's existence was in the footer of the https://organicmaps.app/ website, so the most of users and contributors had no idea about its role and ownership structure.

    Roman @rtsisyk holds 1/3 (33%) of shares, Viktor @vng holds 2/3 (66%). Alexander @biodranik is not a registered shareholder, but allegedly Viktor holds his 1/3 (33%) nominally.

  • Interesting that it sounds like it is immediately overwriting the whole primary drive rather than trying to exfiltrate any data (or anything else) first

  • Self Hosted OpenSource Projectmanagement Tool

    Jump

  • Logseq to some extent, but it's set up to be a journal/ meeting notes where you tag pages, add documents, etc. it would be up to how you've tagged things. Does have a graph view of your pages and whiteboard feature.

    Personally it wasn't exactly what i wanted out of a PKM but it is really powerful. It's intended to handle taking notes efficiently from meetings and then somewhat self organizing the notes as long as you tag stuff.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Foundry was the 2nd thing i started self hosting (the first being pihole). Have had it running for 5 years now.

    Other than that i only recently started expanding my self hosting:

    • tandoor recipes
    • navidrome (for music, mentioning it since it isn't the typical media server recommendation)
    • personal knowledge management (pkm) static website that i build with hugo
    • umami analytics
    • Remark42 for comment system on one of my internal static websites
    • a few smaller things that i built. One is a discord bot from before i started hating discord, and then a few web apps that i haven't open sourced yet

  • Linus Torvalds Expresses His Hatred For Case-Insensitive File-Systems

    Jump

  • Python is case sensitive. I think they're saying their coworkers are writing case insensitive code which is causing errors (perhaps writing myFunction and then calling it via myfunction which would result in an undefined error)

  • Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me

    Jump

  • Without knowing what reddit is doing, I'm not sure. A JS redirect could be detected, but if OPs paid shortener service is working then reddit is probably working off a simple domain block list. In that case you could use throw away domains.

    But JS redirect, proxy response, etc all could just become a game of cat and mouse. Just depends how motivated either side is. But given how big reddit is, i think you'd have the advantage at least in the beginning. Just gets expensive since each time your domain gets blocked you'll be paying to register a new one.

  • Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me

    Jump

  • I'm not familiar with the reddit filtering but have you tried using cloudflare page rules? You can try capturing everything after the .tld and then forward it to a lemmy server. So for instance somedomain.tld/12345 could forward to lemmy.world/post/12345. If reddit is checking links for 301 redirects to lemmy though then that wouldn't work.

    A more advanced approach would be to use a cloudflare worker to do a proxy response so the status code is returned as 200 OK instead of 301 redirect. I haven't tried that but i think that would be much harder for them to block and you could always make more elaborate urls to make it harder to find obvious lemmy-like structure

  • Selfhosting static site behind two routers?

    Jump

  • I would use cloudflare pages (or any forge 'pages' feature) before using tunnels for a static website

  • Git without a forge

    Jump

  • Well just speaking for myself, i use git without a forge for personal stuff because i was already familiar with git and it fits my needs. No need to learn another version control system for some basic projects i throw together

  • Git without a forge

    Jump

  • Did you read the article? The author shares their perspective.

    For me, Git is quite powerful on its own with version control, diffs, branches, merging, etc. Forges just add a UI for some of these things, and add an issue tracker/ discussion/etc. Forges also add a more modem ui for repo access though git does have its own webserver you can use. I use git without a forge for a number of my personal projects that I'm not sharing with others or not yet sharing

    Statistics vs. Computer Science

    Jump

  • Depends on the programs, but likely statistics if it is a halfway decent program.

    • Statistics is harder to learn on your own than the CS needed for data science. So it's better to go statistics and then you can learn the CS parts on your own before doing a data science program.
    • There's generally a bigger need for statistical foundation than CS foundation in data science, or at least with the angle for any data science needed for data journalism.

  • VSCodium can't save file if it needs root privileges (Linux Flatpak)

    Jump

  • I think you need a polkit authentication agent installed and running to prompt you for your password.

    Alternatively you can sudo codium path/to/file (assuming you have aliased codium to use your flatpak)

  • code.forgejo.org vs codeberg.org

    Jump

  • I see that code.forgejo.org currently has version 11.0 deployed which afaik is not released yet, so is that instance just for testing purposes?

    Correct, you just don't see the disclaimer if you go straight to code.forgejo.org. if you are on the main forgejo page and click "try it now" you'll see the disclaimer:

    "FOR TESTING ONLY, ALL DATA CAN BE WIPED OUT AT ANY TIME"

    So to break it down:

    • codeberg e.V. - nonprofit democratic organization that owns codeberg.org and forgejo (or at least funds forgejo)
    • Codeberg.org a public forge that runs forgejo
    • forgejo.org - the forge software that can be self hosted
    • code.forgejo.org - test public forge, data can be deleted without notice

    Also worth noting there are other public instances of forgejo and codeberg also encourages of alternative libre forges
