Yeah, perfect analogy. No amount of external helper tools making installs from GitHub easier would change the security implications. (Cargo-binstall is an example of such a helper.)

I use Arch, btw. But no, I wouldn’t blame my incompetence on my distro even if I were infected, which I wasn’t.

I have a BenQ EW270Q. I’m experiencing a really odd issue. I’m able to control the display’s brightness from GNOME’s quick settings, but only with HDR enabled. When I disable HDR, the controls disappear. Any idea why this could be?

Very funny scene, but honestly not relevant

Sunni Islam as well

I’d use it if it’s as good as systemd.

I guess that makes sense

It’s actually upside down though

Looks interesting

How is Rust not problematic? Cargo has the same risks involved afaik

Have you tried Stump?

I understand the lack of ethics and I agree that their current mode of use is definitely a net negative, but was wondering more about the impact on the environment specifically.

How about the smaller open source models? Is the impact the same? I’m also wondering how much DeepSeek v4 changes this since the inference costs are several times lower than before. I’m sure there’s still a lot of negative effects, but I’m wondering if the needle has moved at all.

I’m wondering how this compares and contrasts against something like the Mecha Comet. There seems to be a lot of similarities.

I don’t know how you’ve not encountered a 504 yet if you’re actively using Codeberg. It’s a known issue with a lot of impact.

GitLab’s CI might be better but otherwise, the interface is pretty horrible and no one I know wants to have anything to do with it. I understand that can be subjective but everyone I’ve suggested it to in the past has come back with the same thoughts.

I remember trying radicle in its early days and having issues. Hopefully by now they’ve been resolved. Will check them out again.

I’m not a professor but I’m asked often for advice by students. Both due to open source contributions and also due to friends.

If you’re up for self-hosting, you can also use something like Calibre-Web or Stump, they have Kobo Sync support AFAIK. I just use OPDS with KOReader though

I have no idea why you would assume that. You need to stop thinking in binaries and be pragmatic. All my stuff is already on self-hosted Forgejo. So personally, I’m fine for now.

But genuinely, where am I supposed to tell people to host their stuff? When a college student tells me they want to host their first project somewhere, what is an actually viable answer at this point? My answer would have been Codeberg if not for the 504s, but I’m a bit lost now since that became a daily occurrence, so tell me yours.

Codeberg is constantly 504ing and private repos aren’t encouraged. Sourcehut is paid. GitLab is GitLab. So where are people leaving to?

Well, it would be his company in debt and not him

Ahh, that makes more sense, thanks!
