I use vscodium and it is available on AUR (vscodium / vscodium-bin). Supposedly there are some plugins not available for it, but i don’t use a ton of plugins and the ones I used in vscode were available in vscodium when i switched.

Why Not Use…?
I am aware that there are many other git “forge” platforms available. Gitea, Codeberg, and Forgejo all come to mind. Those platforms are great as well. If you prefer those options instead of SourceHut that’s fine! Switching to any of those would still be a massive improvement over GitHub.
Unfortunately, I find the need to have an account in order to contribute to projects a deal breaker. It causes too much friction for no real gain. Email based workflows will always reign supreme. It’s the OG of code contributions.
Ive been using codeberg(a public forgejo) and it felt more familiar coming from github/gitlab. Sourcehut wasn’t bad, but it did feel quite a bit different and i admittedly didn’t get too far past that. I do like the idea of contributing without an account though. i know that it’s a git feature to create a patch file but having a forge support it is neat.
Semi related, I do look forward to federation of forgejo which i think helps the “needing an account” somewhat. I think it’s less unreasonable to expect someone to have an account on -any federated forge- than to have an account at the specific forge my project is on.
Good article though. It did help make sourcehut make more sense than the first time i looked at it
On one hand it is nice to see companies give back.
On the other hand, their revenue was $249 million in 2023 and their income after expenses/taxes was 8 million.
- 120,000 / 249,000,000 = 0.048% of revenue.
- 120,000 / 8,000,000 = 1.5% of their income.
It just seems like a small amount to give back for how much they are bringing in.
You’re not connected to wifi or vpn from the looks of it. jellyfin is hosted on your local network. You need to be connected to that network for any device you want to access it. The most direct way is to connect via wifi. If you want access from outside your house you’ll need to look into opening a remote connection via something like cloudflare tunnel
Logseq to some extent, but it’s set up to be a journal/ meeting notes where you tag pages, add documents, etc. it would be up to how you’ve tagged things. Does have a graph view of your pages and whiteboard feature.
Personally it wasn’t exactly what i wanted out of a PKM but it is really powerful. It’s intended to handle taking notes efficiently from meetings and then somewhat self organizing the notes as long as you tag stuff.
I would use cloudflare pages (or any forge ‘pages’ feature) before using tunnels for a static website
Ubunutu for a server in ~2019.
Arch for my workstation Jan 2025
Well just speaking for myself, i use git without a forge for personal stuff because i was already familiar with git and it fits my needs. No need to learn another version control system for some basic projects i throw together
Did you read the article? The author shares their perspective.
For me, Git is quite powerful on its own with version control, diffs, branches, merging, etc. Forges just add a UI for some of these things, and add an issue tracker/ discussion/etc. Forges also add a more modem ui for repo access though git does have its own webserver you can use. I use git without a forge for a number of my personal projects that I’m not sharing with others or not yet sharing
You would think this would be the first test case
From a user experience its a social media site, like reddit.
And an ELI5 for the technical parts:
- It is decentralized which means that no single company owns the whole thing. Anyone can set up a server.
- it is also federated which means that servers can communicate with each other. I am able to see your post even though my server is programming.dev, your server is floss.social, and you posted on lemmy.ml.
Even if it was github, they have mandatory 2fa now which would help. Still some risks for people who reuse passwords on other services or if their 2fa got compromised (sim swaps), etc but wouldn’t be full blown catastrophic
Nope. They are separate security features so you can use them independently or together. LUKS does disk encryption whereas secure boot verifies the digital signatures of boot loaders/kernels
What is the relationship between Radicle and the Radworks ($RAD) token?
Radicle is a true peer-to-peer protocol. It doesn’t use nor depend on any blockchain or cryptocurrency.
Radworks, the organization that has been financing Radicle is organized around the RAD token which is a governance token on Ethereum.
From the FAQ in case it’s relevant to anyone

I think the biggest thing I’ve seen are the privacy concerns over them getting such a large % of the internet’s https traffic that it’s essentially a man-in-the-middle (which includes your tunnel traffic).
This is what i did. There are many static website generators that can help. I use Hugo which let’s me write in markdown, download themes (modify if i want), and it builds the site which can be hosted for free on codeberg/cloudflare/gitlab/github ‘pages’ feature. All support letting you use custom domain if you have one.
Codeberg pages comes to mind (for a simple personal site anyway)
Looks fairly impressive, including live collaboration
I submitted a response but if i may give some feedback, the second portion brings up:
This seemed out of place because there were no other value related questions (iirc). Such as:
I’m sure you could also think of more. But i think it’s pretty important because between cloud service providers and any non-free apps you want to use, it can be quite costly compared to the cost of some hardware and time it takes to set things up.
The rest of my responses don’t change but if you’re wanting to understand the impact of money in all of this, i think some more questions are needed
Best of luck!
