    You misunderstand what Codeberg is. Codeberg has 0 paying customers. It is a non-profit providing services for free and not a business. Membership in the non-profit requires fee pa…

    Yes you should. It will come naturally if you go down the road of separating code from data and properly isolating dev and prod environments, applying principle of least privilege …

    The answer is the same: You give it either read-only or its own copy separate from the one you care about. The requested feature wouldn't be a robust solution here either for the s…

    Are those things you are personally struggling with (if you are considering quitting open source contribitions wholesale: don't let this make you) or is this a showcase of rational…

    At what point did/does it start feeling naive to trust the integrity and output of Github Actions on general? Does it feel unlikely that an attacker would be able to get a foothold…

    What of it? You are not responding to the debunking of your "Value doesn't have anything to do with utility" claim. The only relevant thing I can see here is that yes, the volume i…
