I highly doubt there will ever be parity. There will also be some differences where there can be improvements made over GitHub. Right now you only hear about individuals moving over or open source software. This is mainly because they don’t need the enterprise features that GitHub has. I am not sure if you self hosted forgejo if you would get those as well. It’s meant to be free. This is the biggest thing that would be missing. For individuals, I don’t think you’ll notice many differences.

For your second question. It doesn’t matter. What matters is git. There are 2 main ways to access this. SSH and http. All you really need is git. There are other tools out there like gitlab. Gitlab is pretty decent too, but the workflow is a bit different. You can even self host with gitlab too. You may not see many direct integrations to gitlab either, but people have been working with it for years now. There is also bitbucket. I think forgejo has a better chance at succeeding though if it continues to do what it’s doing. Just tailor to the free and open source community. Really the only thing people need to do is create an account and set up some ssh keys. Beyond creating an account, there is no difference in how you clone a repo from GitHub and codeberg. Just copy the URL and do git clone.

TL;DR GitHub and codeberg have different missions. It will be a similar experience and features for individuals or open source projects are close to the same on both platforms. You probably won’t notice much of a difference.

If anything, just get some external drives or something lol. Depending on how much space you are using, you can also look at hetzner. They have storage boxes that are relatively cheap for cloud backups.

You could also use OneDrive or Google, just make sure you encrypt everything. This way they don’t actually have any of your data. It’s just for backups.

I have also been using storj with truenas. You get a discount this way, but storj just introduced new pricing, so I don’t know how that impacts the discount or not

Please tell me you have proper backups for your next cloud instance

Stability? Update management? Window tiling? What? Linux does have all of these things. In fact Linux is way more stable than Windows, has better update management. Mind you, it does depend on the distro and the amount of stability you want, but I have been running Debian servers for years and I hardly run into problems.

The only thing windows offers over Linux is gaming and a better UI. Even both of those are dwindling away. I hate the new windows 11 UI and most games work on Linux unless you require a rootkit for some anti cheat software.

Don’t. I have had many in the past. They are great devices and easy to manage, but with their recent changes, they can no longer be recommended or trusted. I gave all mine away.

You may be interested in unraid as that is also pretty easy to use. You can probably install unraid onto a qnap.

This seems pretty fair and reasonable, although, we should ask why people do this in the first place? Why is there so much pressure to get good or decent grades? If you are just going to college to get a degree and all you want to do is pass, then why go at all?

College is a broken system right now. If things continue the way they are going, people will just learn how to use AI tools and go find a job. They don’t even need to think for themselves, they can just have a computer do it for them.

Yes there is. You need to be able to transfer heat to something else. It doesn’t just magically disappear. Space is a vacuum. I think you watch too many movies. You probably think that people will just instantly freeze in space without gear on.

I’ll give you an example. Do you have one of those water bottles that can keep your drink cold for like a day? The space in between is a vacuum. Why do you think that the liquid inside can say so cold for so long? It’s the same principle. Imagine a data center floating around in this space, there is nowhere for the heat to go.

The reason why earth is warm is because the sun radiates and heats up the ground on earth. This is also why it’s colder the higher you go within the first few layers of our atmosphere and hotter near the ground.

Basically, you have to radiate heat away from the data center in this case or transfer heat to one area or the other. It’s not as simple as being like, hey space, take my heat will you? There is nothing to transfer it to.

That’s not how space works though. It’s a vacuum. It doesn’t work the same way as on earth. What temperature do you think the side pointing to sun is? And what temperature do you think the side that is away from the sun is? Heat is just not going to magically transfer into space.

Are you suggesting that it’s easy to do this?

Ok? How does Elon, the man with the biggest brain cells, expect to cool these space data centers?

This is exactly it. When I was a bit younger I worked hard. I couldn’t understand why others were not as hardworking as myself. Luckily I learned pretty early on that this is not the way. I was able to travel the world for a bit. After that, I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and just moved. After I quit my job, I started to think about how people would think about the work I did and what I left behind. And I realized, they probably won’t think much about it at all. Some other person will come in and pick up where I left off. They will probably cuss me out because of some of the things I had to do. At the end of it, there is no legacy I will leave behind. No one will care. No one will remember.

These days, I am still pretty good at my job, but I don’t really go above and beyond. So what if you get some award at your company. They don’t mean anything. I go to work. Do my job and that’s it. I try to chill and take it as easy as possible. I get paid to produce a certain amount of output and that is what I give. There are people that will still get rich off of the amount of work that I do, but I don’t care. I have enough to get by in life to where I am content. Luckily, if I am ever in a situation like this post, I can tell them to go fuck themselves and quit.

I’m not sure that is what they are advocating for. They have VAC which doesn’t require kernel level access. If anything they will probably advocate this and that anti cheat can work without root level access.

You need to file taxes, even if you don’t owe anything. That’s part of being a citizen of the United States. You really need to reach out to a CPA to file this for you and get squared away. The foreign income tax exclusion just means you don’t have to pay taxes in the US under a certain amount. You may still need to pay taxes to the country where you are residing in. This is only with countries where we have an agreement with.

Depending on the state in which your address is in, you may have to pay state taxes. This is not part of the foreign income tax exclusion, that is only for federal.

That’s a really good point too. I honestly think he just wants to say he’s the first trillionaire if that ever happens. Just all ego of a sociopath

I mean sure. But he can use it as collateral. That’s the thing. He can go to the bank and be like, let me borrow some money. So, while he still has to meet certain obligations to get these shares, it’s just like why? He has enough already? Why does he need majority anyway? Why not just put in the work anyway?

Most people don’t understand that Walmart is a huge contributor of this and that most places, especially fast food places, will only allow their employees to work so many hours so they don’t have to give benefits.

I have a friend who is all about Trump. I will continue to try and convince him that there are better people out there. Another friend posted a Tshirt he was going to get him for Christmas. It was a DT shirt, basically making fun of him. My maga friend replied with a commie mamdami shirt. I’m just like is that supposed to be an insult? Do you not want affordable housing and living wage? Do you want to keep working 2 jobs?

I think there are a lot of people out there like him that play into the media. They blame the poor and immigrants instead of the rich. They see far left or a person with any other view as their own as far left and a liberal fascist commie. They are pissed at the previous democratic administration (which I don’t blame them), but if you ask me Biden is just a Republican anyway. Go back 30 or 50 years and he would be a Republican. They want the same things, but see the left “far” left as commies and the previous administrations did nothing to help their situation.

I say all this to say, that yes, people are poorly educated and are shooting themselves in the foot because of what the media has told them to believe. This includes the propaganda found on Facebook, tik too, need sites, and other social media outlets. It’s a frustrating time right now

Is it a monopoly though. Monopolies are there to protect the consumer, not really the seller. A developer does not need to use steam at all. I really don’t think steam can control the pricing like that. Like, if steam started to raise prices on people buying the games, then I feel like people would still jump ship. Places like gog and itch.io exist. There are plenty of game stores as well, Microsoft, Nintendo, ea.

The problem developers have is they feel if they make a PC game, that they have to put it on steam and no other platform or they won’t make money. But the developer still has choices and I feel like steam is pretty reasonable with their cut and the tools they offer developers. A developer can even sell their game on a different platform at the same time they sell it on steam. They can even sell steam keys on their own website if they wanted to.

To call steam a monopoly is a bit of a stretch. People still have plenty of choices and steam isn’t circle jerking their consumers.

How much money does one person need before enough is enough?
