Not your server - not your code
More like ShitHub, right?
Bruh I'm dead..
Sakkurity by Microsoft.
critical secrets=secret keys.
Who stores their keys in git?
E.g. CISA:

You might be surprised but not everyone knows how to exclude the keys. Especially nowadays when everyone is building apps with AI without really knowing what they’re doing...
Gotta leave them though that this was one of their more successful acquisitions. Kind of like when they bought Internet Explorer because the internet is just a fad (tm) and it took decades to replace it with an even bigger monstrousity by of all things Google...
Agreed, but that's the point: Being taken over by Microsoft basically boiled down to becoming a trouble-ticket.
Yeah pretty much. From what i hear not even the Minecraft kids are overly happy with big daddy MS. Buying things and shittifying them is basically Microsoft's way of life. I also like the irony of how a company that wants to be seen as a serious big tech player felt the need to buy a Lego simulator.
FWIW I worked at a company for 6 years, starting maybe 5 years after it was acquired by Microsoft. It was my longest stint working at any one company, and was probably the best corporate environment I've experienced at in any company. From an employee perspective, they got almost everything right. Although, that said, a couple of years before I joined, there'd been a Microsoft-wide 10% headcount reduction across every division, org unit, team, even if the team was already as lean as it could be, and no matter how important the team. I think that was a one-off though, and certainly after that, everything seemed great.
There are alternatives to Github, such as Codeberg, but some people must really trust Microslop.
Replacing one centralised option with a smaller centralised option is not a proper replacement to me.

Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately
x is fun somehow
Who are we? Shall I tag @yoursunny?
i have take over skhron, please check your whmcs immediately
Finally someone will pay these invoices instead of me! Have a fun!
i can't take any price increase for whmcs license this year, i take my words back sorry
Reguards.
For a lot of people massive git frontends are total overkill anyways. It's not like the world is going to care you wrote some code to generate fibonacci numbers in whatever godforsaken language let alone contribute to it.
If you expect your project to grow it obviously makes some sense to have something not overly exotic but 99% of all one man (and maybe an occasional contributor) projects could just download/install a Fossil binary and be done with it: https://fossil-scm.org/ (the whole site is basically served from a CLI argument of the lonely single binary).
I am bit interested to see fossil work with jj and someone creating a jj frontend like github is for git.
the best part about fossil is that its literally a sqlite file db and sqlite is really great.
Yeah, it's actually the sqlite guy who created it (if you didn't already notice)
Edit: If i had to name a favorite programmer it would be him. Pretty much everything he does is gold.
For me its fabrice bellard (the creator of qemu), but I agree sqlite person would probably be up there, the amount of testing and rigor that the unit tests have and how excellent the software of sqlite is, is so amazing. He's such an awesome guy too.
Also the creator of C and golang, Ken thompson, when he was young, he created custom boards and led's to make HI written because he was interested in the girl next door (if I remember correctly/remember watching his video)
That is something that I might've done, I haven't really tinkered too much with hardware's but only software but actually I wish to tinker with hardware too nowadays, those are really cool too!
I also like how Ken wrote C in language of B which was written by him too and he wrote ed (editor) I think in less/around a week time.
Ken is around 80 but he's as sharp as a bullet within interviews and can recall all memories from his life in the interview and it felt like he was loading his memories into RAM in the first minutes of interview.
It's fun knowing that I live within the same time as these legends are living too :-D
I am just ken:
Oh I wish I was just ken :-D
Yeah, while i figure soldering whole boards won't get you very far by today's standards there's a ton of DIY components around. Even if it's just something relatively mundane like the Pi zero from the webserver thread it could be the base to some really funky stuff. I want that autonomous wifi mesh - frame injection, virtual interfaces, ... i don't care. I'm convinced it could be made work
why buy github source code when gitea/forgejo/gitlab/etc are free?
bitbucket is the forgotten alternative.
Forgejo? For security??
I haven't heard anything bad regarding security in Forgejo, mind to enlighten me?
I do agree that e.g. https://fossil-scm.org/ (as suggested by @totally_not_banned ) would be better in terms of less attack surface, but is that your point?
