@captainepoch @bonifartius just to clarify, the list codeberg tried to censor is also stupid. It's just a bunch of accounts on twatter who at some point either advertised or otherwise endorsed CF. I mean, whoever made that list must be massively autistic, but even this wouldn't justify removing it or taking any other action.

@newt @captainepoch at least the list has a point, in contrast with proactively deleting repositories out of the vague fear someone might sue because of a bullshit law.

hosting things is a very shit business now

It always was tbh, customers complaining all the time because they changed settings they shouldn't have and now some support employee is getting cursed at for hours.

All of IT turned to
worse shit with large investors wanting immense returns, absolutely destroying companies that were doing fine and could've ran fine for the indefinite future. All to make some exceptionally rich asshole just a tiny bit more rich, at the cost of hundreds or sometimes thousands of people just trying to do their jobs.

The longer I work as a "cloud engineer" (or developer/programmer before that), the worse I find IT as a field to have become. But I have bills to pay, so here I am. I'm genuinely curious to find out something else to do, something which I can thoroughly enjoy doing, rather than all the joy being sucked out of my work by some incompetent manager.

@tyil from what i gathered over the years, it was hard enough to get people paying for sourcehut :) i think hosting things is a very shit business now, as people expect stuff to be working flawless all the time - doesn't matter that the big hosters have more outage than most small things.

@tyil it's a shame because in principle sourcehut is pretty nice.

self hosting is probably a bit complicated from what i have gathered over the years, it's somewhat of a microservice architecture.

@newt there was some cancel bullshit by codeberg as well, i can't quite remember now though.

@tyil nothing, sourcehut is getting ddos and it just is a good opportunity to move away from a service which reserves the right to delete accounts for political opinions :)

@newt not that i'm aware of, but i'm sure he already has made up something new to white knight for.

the occasion is that sourcehut is getting ddos rn which is shit for the users of course.

which at the same time is a perfect opportunity to push repositories to something self hosted where one will not face the threat of account deletion for holding political views.

@limepeep i don't know what's remotely ok with repeatedly trying to cancel RMS for fabricated accusations.

protip: just selfhost your stuff instead of giving drew more money to finance his cancel campaigns with. perfect opportunity now!

@LouisConde i'd say nutrition is very important. can be conveniently implemented as hobby "cooking" :)
