I’m also waiting for this to move some 500 repositories from GitHub to a realistic federated alternative. I follow up from a distance but don’t see much movement on ForgeFed for ForgeJo. Did I miss something?

To be honest, I didn’t know by heart what we stated exactly. It says “Open source”. When we ask we may well say “like a GitHub handle”.

For people without much experience it can all be a bit daunting. They’ll know about GitHub and it helps them identify what we’re hoping to see. By now I expect links to open source work in a CV due to the nature of our company but it’s not a requirement.

It’s a balancing act in getting the right hints in a vacancy for people in the know and providing enough info for people who don’t know yet.

GitHub wasn’t all that bad years ago and it’s easy seeing this find their way in HR forms and taking as long to be removed again. I certainly wouldn’t shun entering a CodeBerg/GitLab/selfhosted url in a form where I should enter a GitHub handle.

We also ask for a GitHub handle but when one supplies Codeberg or GitLab it’s seen as very positive. Might not be the case for standard HR though.

Nice script. What is the reason to toggle the brightness?

Set up a Matrix bridge and promote it too. You can’t force a community but you can inform and give choice.

Kubernetetes is crazy complex when comparing to docker-compose. It is built to solve scaling problems us self-hosters don’t have.

First learn a few docker commands, set some environment variables, mount some volumes, publish a port. Then learn docker-compose.

Tutorials are plenty, if those from docker.com still exist they’re likely still sufficient.

Emacs: “What if your Operating System and your text editor had a child.”

The sentiment I hear around me is that you have been lied to.

We have kept the lights on, like many of you asked, and we are looking forward to welcoming a new humorous generation.

Sure, it is not going to be under the same conditions. Things have moved around when you left. Empty voids have been filled. Regardless, I’d love for us to see the propaganda of the time for what it was, propaganda and lies, and to bring the actors and platforms responsible for willingly spreading lies to their knees.

Together we stand stronger in a strong Europe, and reuniting is a sign of Europe’s resilience to external influences.

I am waiting for federation to land. Would love to give it a spin and see how smooth that works across instances.
