We are going to deploy storage limits on Codeberg. Here is what you need to know: https://blog.codeberg.org/new-storage-limits-on-codeberg-what-you-need-to-know.html

To avoid disrupting your valuable work, we will be careful and start with very generous limits. Over time, we'll tune the configuration based on your feedback.

We also plan on helping you find and lower resource consumption, should you be shocked with the amount of storage you currently consume.

(By the way, we are aware of a bug that makes repo size count twice. It will get fixed soon)

You can read the document here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-consensus-documents.git/tree/002-codeberg.md

(Try again later if it’s 502. :-))

Key points:

① By June 7th, repositories will have migrated to Codeberg.
② Savannah will become a mirror of the Guix repository for at least 1 year.
③ Until Dec. 31st, bug reports and patches will be accepted both using the current email method and on Codeberg.

Huh - what do you know? https://redis.io/blog/agplv3/ - turns out that when a software category is dominated by a #libre option (e.g. mobile operating systems, database & blog engines, and now value stores/caching systems), nothing proprietary can compete. And the rest of the world benefits from it. Imagine that.

Before Vibe Coding we had years of Hype Coding. Where new libraries and frameworks were heavily promoted, regardless of the fact that they gave more problems than solutions ;) Every piece of software that was at least at Version 3 or 4 was considered legacy and needed to be replaced. #GreyBeardWisdom

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @steph@fedi.steph.tools You think turing complete code in latex is just as easy to read as C?

@daniel Why include Signal? It's supported by a non-profit foundation and is usable without surrendering one's privacy. It's secure, can be used both anonymously and without payment. Not remotely in the same category as either Amazon or WhatsApp (and many others, Google, Apple etc).

Because American = bad?

That just isn't true.

@zimoun I think it's very difficult to find someone as committed with free software as RMS is.

I think we are lucky in Guix to have a leader, but I don't think GNU has someone else.

C is terrible and Rust is so much better, but I don’t think memory safety is the only justification for having ‘ls’ in Rust.

Some of those active in this effort worked on replacing GCC with Clang in distros before.

So you want to make a difference? Do this:

Join Codeberg e.V. – become part of the organisation; part of the resistance – and actively support this valuable ethical EU-based anti-fascist git hosting alternative:

https://join.codeberg.org

Seriuously, do it now.

Volunteer and/or donate if you can.

Let’s send Codeberg’s membership through the roof and show these fucking fascists that when they push we push back twice as hard.

When you do, please add your voice to this thread so others can see.

@janneke The anti-GNU assembly is entirely anti-GNU.

Just because you think it is not, does not mean it is. And your numbers are lottery tickets ...

Nobody is denying that there are problems, the issue is how one addresses them .. threatening people, harassing people, constantly attacking people .. which the anti-GNU assembly has been doing.

@lxo @redstarfish @ark74

@ark74 I don't find it compelling at all.

We've had democratic governance structures such as #sociocracy that "protect" for hostile takeover of values for over 100 years now.

Using the straw man of hostile takeover to excuse authoritarianism is extremely ignorant at best.

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @icedquinn@blob.cat @bonifartius@qoto.org @sally@freesoftwareextremist.com I mean to be fair, before attended the GNU Boot install party at 38C3 I was still running Libreboot 2016 on my Thinkpad.

Simply because I was lazy and it just worked and I didn't have any good reason to update it to a newer version.

Following the example of GitLab and other VC-funded open source companies, @element goes 'open source almost everything' with "Synapse Pro";

"Synapse itself remains open source, and Element will continue to develop it proactively, just as it has for the last 10 years ... Available under a commercial license, Synapse Pro will help fund and accelerate the continued open source development of Synapse for the benefit of all of Matrix."

poddery.com is a public #matrix and #xmpp services (we used to provide #diaspora as well, but it is scheduled to be shut down soon). This service is run by volunteers and we raise funds through donations. Would you like to sponsor part of domain renewal charges for 1 year?

gandi.net hiked charges 2-3 times! and it is 29.39 USD (so we moved to Hetzner.de which charges 13.5 Euro for 1 year only - we already host the server with them). @milvus_migrans_govinda already contributed half of it.
