Dear GitHub users. Forgejo exists (and is the software behind Codeberg). Radicle exists. Sourcehut exists. You’re welcome to join! And with forgefed we also have a federated approach. We were building all of that while you were sleeping ;) Maybe you are now ready to help us build a better, more decentralised code sharing future?

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

@glyph Here's the thing! Red means the two nodes don't have accurate information about each other and green means they do. Random nodes connect every 2 seconds to sync and gossip sync state with each other. Then a random node updates every 4 seconds.

"Paying for things with money is praxis" how messed up have things gotten for this to make sense ffs

OpenFlexure is an open source laboratory-grade microscope used to diagnose malaria and cancer. In this interview Julian Stirling, one of the core developers, tells us how the project evolved from its academic roots to a diverse community of people who use it, build it, sell it, teach it & develop it.
OpenFlexure is manufactured in many places to build local capacity. The next step is medical device certification, a slow but worthwhile process.

🐧 Finally, my new search software is finished
🐧 Twice as fast and user friendly as the corpo shit, but free and empowering and only contains useful information
🐧 This is going to change the world
🐧 I call it Andrew's New Userfriendly Search

Like, saying to your mate down the pub "Oh you should get on Jabber" versus "You should get on ecks em pee pee"

One of these words sounds like a thing for talking about whatever with your mates, the other sounds like a thing for bollocking around with config files so you can talk to other people who bollock around with config files about bollocking around with config files

the Linux-compatible tax package I switched to is
https://www.mytaxexpress.com/index24.html

It's a desktop app, not an online service. I don't really want to share my tax data with online services and their backing US cloud-services providers. So works for me.

It's CRA-certified. A list of CRA-certified packages is at

Someone here pointed me to that tax software months ago, so thank you, forgotten Mastonaut.
