Codeberg being described as a competitor to Github by tech-tabloid writers feels really on point with their usual level of journalism.

Like sure let's have a small community-based forge pitched against the biggest forge owned by one of the biggest high-tech corporations.

It's quite like if you'd describe a local farmers market as a competitor to Lidl.

Azure is also not enough for Copilot, so Microsoft turns to the compute of AWS.

Tout le monde peut utiliser la config git user.name et user.email.

Afin de vérifier ces commits, ils faut indiquer à Git de les signer

Générer une clé
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "votre@email.com"

Puis instruire à git de l'utiliser:

git config --global gpg.format ssh
git config --global user.signingkey ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
git config --global commit.gpgsign true
git config --global tag.gpgsign true

Puis ajouter cette clé de signature dans la forge logicielle.

Pour GitLab: https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/repository/signed_commits/

Github place ce bug comme "ineligible", puisque cela ne donne pas accès aux repos ni privilèges, donc ce n'est pas une faille au sens strict.
Cepeeendaaaaaant, l'identité affichée influence les décisions; et il incombe à l'utilisateur de vérifier les signatures.

The migration to Codeberg is really easy.

And the licences?

A modern approach to programming. The pull request system seems great as I see on the landing page. It stacks up.

GitHub Issues as free database

A way to cheat the git commit graph: commits can be generated at different times.

Putting aside GitHub’s relationship with ICE, it’s abundantly clear that the engineering excellence that created GitHub’s success is no longer driving it.

Most importantly, Actions has inexcusable bugs while being completely neglected. After the CEO of GitHub said to “embrace AI or get out” [...]

and one blocker is now the source of revenue:

GitHub Sponsors is a large fraction of Zig Software Foundation’s donation income, we consider it a liability. 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.

Against toast notifications

Github va devenir de plus en plus important pour Microsoft.

Je parie que le service va se merdifier durant les prochaines années; comme déjà les PRs de Copilot.

Les developpeurs de GitHub étaient contre l'intégration de l'IA de cette manière.
