hi!
-
@pelle thinking about that these days too
looking at codeberg but any alternatives you’d recommend?@xjasminelu
yes, that, or another forgejo server, or sourcehut.i'd just held on to my github account for reporting issues, but now i use email for that.
or mastodon, because some apps hosted on github have a mastodon account. (delta chat, organic maps, ...)

I can really recommend @radicle
it differentiates itself by being p2p and thus has a low barrier to entry@roy_calum @xjasminelu @radicle
./CLAUDE.md

@xjasminelu Welcome to fedi, I hope you'll like it here! I'm looking more at how to use devices for longer, before they become waste. But some of my colleagues are working on similar topics as you:

@nina_kali_nina I’m on a permacomputing list serv but not on here! Would love to hear any recs
@xjasminelu of course @neauoire

./CLAUDE.md I'm sorry I can't quite follow what you wanted to express.
I did indeed encounter LLM use on the radicle network.
But at a quick glance the main protocol doesn't contain a CLAUDE.md file.To check for yourself:
https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.radicle.dev/rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5
Neither do the other repos by radicle.
Apart from the radicle-explorer web browser interface.https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.radicle.dev/rad:z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5/tree/CLAUDE.md
The relevant thread on the forum:
Personally because I abhor the incompetence surrounding decisions in computing at the moment, I'm very critical of the use of LLMs.
That is why I'm working to decentralize and thus future-proof my projects.I have seen no alternative code forge other than radicle serving this kind of truly distributed and asynchronous collaboration.
I see it as revolutionary and should it become necessary the tech will be forked.So far I'm happy to say that the team and community convinced me of their competency.
Did I understand your critique correctly?

side note:
I work under the assumption that technology cannot be taken back easily
once the cat's out of the bag, that's itimo llms fundamentally suck by being spammy
framing them tight can alleviate some issues and rigorous benchmarks can be used to objectively measure resultsthis is what's happening at community-computer:
https://radicle.network/nodes/iris.radicle.xyz/rad%3Az4Wk8hdpwG4HtoCxr1uuoQDpnfr25
even if all the datacenters experienced rapid unschduled disassembly this would be a method that generated traceable computing experiments
and even failed experiments - if recorded methodically - always render valuable data

Happy to boost - it's definitely an area worth studying.
Have you published anything (formal or not) about "Repair Cafes" and other popular movements to reduce e-waste / re-use "obsolete" electronics?
@cazabon yes! This article is more general than repair cafes but I interviewed Matthew Lubari who runs an ongoing repair cafe in rhino refugee camp. brilliant guy with brilliant insights!!! https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3674505

@roy_calum @pelle @radicle thank you for the detailed write up! I’m a huge Luddite when it comes to AI (I can be /many folks unfortunately gotta spend the tokens to pay the bills) so am especially interested in all the alternative “experiments” in this new world we’re in w AI

@wim_v12e Thank you!!! I’m familiar with your work on frugal computing and the react center! Lancaster has some great folks who have been a big influences on my PhD (Not there anymore but Christian Remy and other human computer interaction folks)
