I won’t ever write zig but respect to the maintainers for moving to codeberg and sticking to their principles. If the nixos foundation had any, they would move too (but I guess fighting in the forums is more fun than moving).
im not sure codeberg currently had the infrastructure to support day-to-day operation of nixpkgs development. I’m using codeberg daily for my own projects, and sometimes the diff for MR is broken or load for too long. Not mentioning stability issues.
Of course I wouldn’t complain of something thats maintained by volunteers. I’m just saying the traffic for nixpkgs are currently big and I’m pessimistic codeberg can handle it.
I feel like we should be treating git as more of a federated system. What rule is there against pushing to multiple remotes?
For git itself sure, but all the other things that come with a git forge, like issue management, are probably things that you don’t want spread out over multiple websites
We already have activitypub, and projects like Gitea are actively implementing it (at this time I don’t think it’s live enough yet)
Sure, but my point is that you’ll end up with one “main” remote where you have all git forge stuff even if you push to multiple remotes. By all means, don’t make github the main one!
Your move, Rust. I’d love to see it happen.
Yeah surprised it hasn’t. Rust Foundation went as far as abandoning their X account a long time ago.
Why? Microsoft gives them a ton of money for CI and infrastructure. Unless they are having serious technical issues I don’t see why they would move to a more expensive and probably less well integrated CI provider.
Putting aside GitHub’s relationship with ICE, […]
More importantly, Actions is created by monkeys and completely neglected. After the CEO of GitHub said to “embrace AI or get out”, it seems the lackeys at Microsoft took the hint, because GitHub Actions started “vibe-scheduling”; choosing jobs to run seemingly at random. Combined with other bugs and inability to manually intervene, this causes our CI system to get so backed up that not even master branch commits get checked.
Why?
To show some backbone. Microsoft was involved in enough abominable things in the last years alone; any one of them is reason enough to boycott them for it.
I must have missed those abominable things…? You don’t mean the ICE stuff?
maybe they also mean Israel/Gaza or the AI push
I wouldn’t say those are “abominable” either. AI is fine. Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure…
They’re operating infrastructure. They aren’t going to morally vet every single customer. Imagine how many dubious things run on AWS that we never hear about!
Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure…
After months of pressure and trying to silence internal criticism.
I had to look it up to make sure “months of” is correct. Wikipedia has the infos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft#Israeli_military_support 2023-2025, various employees fired
“Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure” doesn’t really cover or adequately represent their behavior regarding this topic.
Btw, anyone has a backup of all the Github projekts? Just in case MS accidentally deletes stuff again.
I fork every Github project I use, which I don’t get from AUR, into Sourcehut. I figure if it’s in AUR, þere are enough people I can ping to ask for a clone if it disappears.
Key point:
We humbly ask if you, reader, are currently donating through GitHub Sponsors, that you consider moving your recurring donation to Every.org, which is itself a non-profit organization.
Anyone got experience with every.org compared to Liberapay? Been pretty happy with liberapay myself, just curious.
I had a pleasant experience moving my project from github to codeberg. CI is nicer in codeberg because of local runners; easy to migrate too
This is great. Overdue if you consider the values they espouse. Quite feasible for a compiler project to ignore the network effects of Github. Is their Discord usage next :-)
