I watch stuff at 1080p but 1.5x-2x. A 1h video at that with 6kbps and 60fps can be quite consuming especially if a lot is happening. Have that on in the background for 8h plus doing other stuff (gotta pull docker images, or the blackhole that is npm) and you get over 10GB daily easily. Add a modern game or two a month and you’re above 1TiB/month.
This might be it achievement watchdog
There be malicious applications similar to war driving?
Why isn’t there a P2P distributed download?
Woops, missed the “for”.
Blame the short term focus on profit and the system we exist in. There simply is no reason for it to be stable. It’s not a life or death matter, neither for people nor for companies, hence, it will not be prioritised. The world would have to be very different for these “basic” things to be prioritised.
Possibly. It’s a reshuffling after the US dominance is being destroyed by the orangutan with the red button. People are now more aware of its nation building meddling efforts and are rightfully trying to find other trade partners and products. Just because those aren’t the US doesn’t mean it’s the end of cooperation. The US isn’t the only partner out there.
Also, it’s good that countries are recognising the delusion of reliance on a single entity. The EU relied on the US for protection and practically lost its army. Many countries relied on the WHO being funded by the US instead of trying to diversify the funding. The entire world basically relies on oil and is now paying the price (as it should). Many countries developed tech but relied on the US market to grow companies and om China for production. All of that is luckily changing.
Whether we will ultimately learn from our mistakes? I don’t know, but history has a tendency of repeating itself. Things will shake up, settle down, people will get complacent, a crisis (or multiple) will happen, and it’ll shake things up, rinse repeat.
Since my repos are spread across multiple instances, I deal won codeberg only intermittently and it looks like the 504s are about 2-3 weeks old. Not good, but just outside of the time I got busy in a repo that’s not on codeberg.
As for gitlab’s interface, I guess it’s like switching from new reddit to lemmy, it’s different and you babe to get used to it. While quitting Github, I actually came to really appreciate Gitlab’s interface. It wasn’t easy at the beginning, but now I actually prefer it to GitHub’s interface.
If the people you asked are longtime Github users and only use or used Gitlab a few times, I’m not surprised they don’t like it.
Radicle is better than it was when I first tried it. For a person who doesn’t like the CLI, it’s probably utterly horrific, but feature-wise, it’s a distributed sourceforge. They still have a ways to go:
But if the goal is just to publish code and have a distributed backup, radicle is very good at that.

You think it sucks because you’re used to GitHub’s interface. I really dislike the github interface after having left it a few years ago. Gitlab’s interface is, to me, so much better and a breath of fresh air (even though it might look like the old old Github).
As for forgejo, I agree, once they get functional federation and a good CI (not a shitty Github actions clone), github and Gitlab can really fuck off. Gitlab might become a “competitor” once they have federation, but they only will do that if forgejo takes off sue to federation.
I use codeberg too and am not experiencing the problems you have, but it might be a location thing.
Otherwise, Gitlab has been good to me. Despite their descent into AI and rejection of federation, they have are still a better than GitHub. The CI is still light years ahead of GitHub Actions. What’s your beef with Github?
Why are you referencing students BTW? Are you a professor? Do you have any pull? Then you should get your university to setup a forgejo instance and CI so that students don’t have to even question it. Make them put their assignments on the forgejo instance on one semester, the next semester on gitlab, and the next on radicle or have a course where they get access to a VM and have to setup and host a soueceforge of their choosing. You can assign a subdomain of the uni to them and help them setup SSL certs via a DNS or HTTP challenge.
Otherwise, the easiest thing to do is let them use radicle. They don’t have to host a thing and the repos will be distributed across the radicle network, accessible from nearly anywhere.
Why did you leave codeberg, let’s start with that. What is it you’re looking for?
I’m just reading “I don’t want to leave, whatever happens”. There’s nothing I can say that you will agree with, so we might as well not waste that energy.
I’d love to see this happen. Suddenly every proprietary software license would be voided.
Do it. Stalin would be proud.
Bad, but not the same, IMO. Microslop could shove it under the rug as a glitch. Oh wait… they would do that in this case too. Yeah, maybe it’d have to be more severe than that, but I don’t know what’s more severe to a private company than getting their IP leaked because of slopcoding.
You’re unfortunately right. Some people just have picked a side and won’t budge.
They want to develop their own - as they should! Europe should learn from this. Stop purchasing critical components and resources from your enemies. Develop the critical stuff on your own.
Microslop does it again! But it will take much more than this for people to leave GitHub. Someone will have to start making private repositories public to show that GitHub can’t be trusted for companies to leave. And someone will have to insert malware into GitHub releases from inside the system to make opensource people leave.
When you explore an API in a team and would like to collaborate on that with somebody. If you’ve worked on any big tech API, with Oauth, and have secrets, writing a script for every request combination takes way too long. Simply pasting the URL and using the stored oauth token within the session is easy with a frontend. And it’s reusable and sharable within your team.
I think the overlap of steam games and GoG games is pretty large. Many games on GoG seem to be repackaged Steam games. Just give it a shot to see if it works with the games you got.
