    you mean, something like a new FOSS project called "OpenEye"? :-)

    They suck to maintain. I love the fact that you can just update one single openssl lib and all installed apps use the updated version after a restart. Static builds have their legi…

    https://textualize.io for python isn't bad either. (In case you don't like static builds like me.)

    That's not true tho. f-droid supports (true) https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Reproducible_Builds/ for quite some time now. Those are signed by both, f-droid and the author.

    Hm f-droid provides privacy friendly https://fdroid.gitlab.io/metrics/ for some time now. I'm not sure what sort of "control" they have over the Play Store compared to f-droid, but…

    Signal has reproducible builds for android now? Why not f-droid then, too?

    Hence "hack". It needs keys for administration but at a first glance, I see no reason why a git-anon user couldn't be part of gitolite's git user.

    ledger-cli is rock solid but it lacks a decent TUI. Really all I want is an 80s TUI accounting app that "just works" as ledger does but with a menu driven interface with keyboard s…

    For a single author you don't necessarily need any server at all. A cloud directory or zip files work well. But gitolite is so easy to setup & maintain, it's not a big difference a…

    not sure how lightweight any of these are, but https://gitolite.com/gitolite/ just needs git and ssh deployed. And it works like a charm.

    I bet in the majority of cases, there's no need to pressure for merging. In a big company it's much easier to slip it in. Code seemingly less relevant for security is often not rev…

    I kinda miss the curiosity show. It was a bit more science leaning but got kids to awe just the same way.

    > where no auditor ever looks Well, software supply chains are a thing. "where no auditor ever is paid to look" would be more correct.

    There's a gazillion nice python SSGs but when it comes to advanced stuff like responsive imagrs, i18n or js optimization, you always have to add it yourself. It seems most of these…

    I loved etherpad but it was a pain to host back then. I'd love to have something similar that's lightweight and not serverside node.js
