I don't think centralization can be avoided completely. Or LLMs.

However, by using the services of #SourceHut or #Codeberg, I believe, one acts rather than says: "I trust you. I support you. Fight this fight for me. I'm too small/busy/specialized, but you can do it! I care."

That's why I struggle with these lovely open source alternatives my original question is about. What these projects care about? What's their added value?

status.sr.htLLM crawlers continue to DDoS SourceHut | sr.ht statusSourceHut continues to face disruptions due to aggressive LLM crawlers. We are continuously working to deploy mitigations. We have deployed a number of mitigations which are keeping the problem contained for now. However, some of our mitigations may impact end-users. In particular, we have deployed Nepenthes to certain routes which are associated with large volumes of LLM-related traffic. You may encounter certain pages which are not usable as a result, especially if you are not logged in.

I'm considering setting up a mailing list for the blog. i was wondering how i could go about writing a script or build function on my Sourcehut that would convert every new post into an email that it then sends to, say a Sourcehut list? maybe Emacs has something i could use?

Do you all have plans to move off Microsoft Github?

While I use #Sourcehut, most prefer something like #codeberg . Both are EU-based.

I no longer think it's ethical to expect my contributors to agree to share personal data for marketing and advertising purposes, which the GitHub Privacy Statement says they do.

That's in addition to worries about centralized control over most FOSS dev, Microsoft's corporate policies, and the underlying US politics and surveillance.

Read in a #SourceHut news blog post published by Drew DeVault a few days ago (thanks @neauoire for pointing it out!):

"This work is part of the bigger picture work to move SourceHut entirely from the US to the EU, in particular by processing payments through our European entity and in accordance with European laws and regulations."

I know being fully dependent on US-based infrastructure is a bad idea. This is why I have been looking into alternative ways of work

Trying to create a account and I find out that my usual username is already taken... and I don't think I created myself. Aaarrgghh!
(I also created one on just for this reason)

Also I would really like to see decentralized grow. is not only about the code itself (git is already decentralized) but also issues, roadmap... around it.
I will keep an eye on docs.radicle.xyz/ and forgefed.org/

Say whatever else you like about #sourcehut and I may even agree with you, but: it lets me ssh into the VM for a failed CI run and debug it interactively.

*Each of* Travis, Azure, Github, Mozilla's in-house build farm, Debian's in-house build farm, and CMU's bespoke student homework assignment testing farm has wasted *at least* a week of my life by not having that feature.

Today, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability

(Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".)

https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/

There are still some things I need to determine.

1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard.

2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later.

3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else?

Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki.

@liaizon Well, gitlab supports merge requests created by email, but it has its own constraints. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.html#by-sending-an-email
Also it's not implemented in gitea:
- issue: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/29269
nor in forgejo:
- email docs: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/email-settings/
- related issue: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/2371
Efforts at federation at @forgefed are great, but actually, #sourcehut is already federated in some way, via its email-based interaction:
- https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3Ceb82eef4-d88c-7509-943b-9290fd03c8a9%40sugarlabs.org%3E#%3CC81CPE3NS083.120RSZ6DMQTKS@taiga%3E
They do accept PR via email. It's their way to go, actually
- https://git-send-email.io/

Anyway, you can send us attached git-patches via email if you want :)
