@ryanc I first thought this was about storage prices and smuggling.

He beat the lettuce, but not by much.

Oh I’ve been dreaming about this since the 90s.

@Gina I would appreciate the not-everything-needs-an-app angle and focussing more on the web as a true open platform. Good luck with it all 🫶🙌🤞

@Gina My angle is certain necessities of life requiring an app (banking, medical, parking, etc) all of that should be possible without an app. That’s not saying no-apps, just apps-not-mandatory.

Le sigh. Et tu, rsync? :(

[Update, OpenBSD has it’s own version: https://cathode.church/@meena/116654702820939443]

[Update2: OG rsync is already borked: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@JeremiahFieldhaven/116654345332213390]

For the uninitiated, rsync is one of the very few tools in computing that you used to be able to trust to work every time and not surprise you.

That trust is gone now.

Firing the Wikimedia lead dev over unionising sounds like a spectacularly bad idea.

Update your fedi servers 😘

I’ve had a similar awakening a few months when realising that GitHub shows you thr cost of free-for-open-source Actions usage. On of my decidedly low-traffic but big test suite (173 checks) would cost thousands of dollars per month.

I have come to the inevitable conclusion that they’ve played us all for fools. We all have infinitely fast dev machines, but we need to rent a dev machine’s worth of servers every month to run an open source project?

Absolutely not.

et.tu. rust?

Bit of a week at work, intense yet satisfying, full-on hyperfocus and now all but depleted. Send cute pet pics pls.

@cwebber it me :couchdb:

This is good actually.

Very cursed, of course.

But good.

With GitHub imploding, the one thing missing for wholesale switching to forgejo is multi-platform CI that includes Windows and Mac.

Since Macs cannot reliably be vietualised on non-Mac hardware, but the others can be on Macs:

Is there anything that I can easily run on a Mac that provides VMs for various Linuxes, Windows and Mac that then could be used as CI workers?

Alternstively, is there a way to cross compile CLI binaries on Linux for Mac, including code signing?

@tante @cwebber not yet :homer:

@mattly yup, my secret superpower is holding a grudge.

From “get with the programme, GenAI is the new order” to “all this is a coordinated attack on the open web” in only eight weeks. Ah well.

@seldo how can I make sure my posts are never used by this app to be sent to an LLM vendor?

What is your old-man (gender neutral) grunt word that you mutter when getting up from a chair?

Mine is Hnnngyabbadabbadoo.
