@simonjust Support for encrypted mirrors, that's a good idea!

@simonjust I think personally I would want people to be able to delete their own repos/content if they want?

Maybe there could be data loss prevention as an opt in, so others start mirroring it automatically? Maybe we each have a setting saying "mirror up to X GiB" or something.

Perhaps the commenting part is more easily solved with OpenID login support, and then perhaps the git forges themselves could support "starring" a URL to a repo/gist? Ie. on my own instance, I could click to star some external resource by name?

But there's still the discoverability issue not solved by those.

Perhaps something like it already exists and I just don't know about it.

I'm thinking the discoverability part would essentially be each that git forge set to discoverable broadcasts its presence to somewhere, maybe along with information about its content. Or conversely the indexes crawl them from time to time. Not sure of a good way to avoid making that broadcast centralized, but I assume there are possibilities I haven't though of yet.

I like self hosting git in many ways, but I would kinda miss the opportunity to search for other repos, and "gists". The whole community around the centralized Git forges. I mean, if everyone is scattered on thousands on platforms, it's not easy to find each other.

I can think of two solutions:
1. Something fediverse-like for git, where you can star and comment on projects on other instances.
2. A sort of self hostable search index to find content on all git forges set to be "discoverable".

I hope this Boycott movement also means a lot more people move their code and communities off of Microsoft GitHub especially, and perhaps Gitlab.com as well.

If you're running an open source project I you'll likely be able to host it on Codeberg instead.

For personal, private projects I don't currently know of a non-US based git forge - but there are several self hosting options, including Forgejo and Gitlab.

Dét er dog naturligvis ikke pga. PHP at han fik den dom, men pga. at siden, han lavede, var The Silk Road.

Dét sagt så overvejer jeg lidt om jeg skulle hjælpe til ift. udviklingen af nogle af disse fediverse-platforme, men må indrømme, jeg ikke har meget lyst til at arbejde med PHP igen. Så hellere Ruby, Python eller et nyere sprog.

"Lærer at Friendica og Pixelfed er skrevet i PHP."

...og ser senere en Fireship video:
"What you're looking at here is a 30-year-old man condemned to die in prison, after receiving two life sentences without parole, for building a website with PHP"

Mastodon er heldigvis skrevet i Ruby, hah.

@mosgaard
Ift. basal redigering vil jeg foreslå Okular. Det er en PDF-viser som har en del redigeringsfunktionalitet.

Ville som Sune også foreslå CLI-værktøjer til splitte/samle. Eks. "pdftk" som allerede er nævnt, eller "gs" eller "pdfunite". Kan også skrive nogle eksempel-kommandoer, hvis det er.

@nicholai Okay, har set Bells Hells og har nu også set nogle afsnit af Mighty Nein. Ift. D20 har jeg indtil nu kun set Fantasy High, men det var også godt! Og de ting Brennan har lavet hos Critical Role var også virkelig gode!
Hvad kan du anbefale af D20?

@nicholai Jaaaa? Startede med Natural Six, men har nu også set temmelig meget Critical Role, og noget Dimension 20.

Dig?

Overhørt på dagens gåtur - en datter og sin far løber en tur, datteren halter lidt bagefter.

FAR: Der løbes!
FAR: Du kan meget mere, end du tror!
DATTER: Ja.
DATTER: Desværre!

Apropos boykot af USA så er Franske Qobuz klart værd at overveje som musik-streamingtjeneste.

Qobuz giver næsten 5 gange(!) så mange penge til kunstnerne som Spotify, som ligger nær bunden, og historisk kun har sænket andelen yderligere.

Som man kan se er beløbene dog helt generelt ufatteligt lave, så endnu bedre er det at købe deres albums på eks. Bandcamp. Især på "Bandcamp Fridays".
