Back to self hosting my code. Side note: Gitlab is one of the few companies to provide a self hosted version of their VCS. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html Also gitea is a much more lightweight option and can use sqlite for db. Much easier to deploy on a rpi
Sourcehut is great, and I doubt Drew would take the hosted version in that direction.

A half-assed feature nobody asked for? In my Gitlab?! Unbelievable!! On a serious note, wtf Gitlab? Every once in a while I get an email notification from a feature request I subscribed to (that has been open for years) because yet another large premium customer requests that it be implemented. Gitlabs response is always that they don't have capacity/manpower to implement it, yet they're able to implement crap like t…
I don’t know if this is half-assed. But the presentation certainly is. Why Gitlab Duo : AI :sparkles:

From that page: > Will my code be used for training AI models? > GitLab does not train generative AI models based on private (non-public) data. The vendors we work with also do not train models based on private data. So they will steal your code if it is public, ignoring license. Understood.
I’ve been feeling more and more that we should reconsider open source licenses to protect our rights as authors from LLM vendors. I’m not against them basing their models on my work. I do have reservations on them generating their models on my work and creating derivative works without respecting the license. It’s why I’ve started to use the MIT license less and less and have adopted various from the GPL family. Mode…

Radicle[0] is also a really interesting option.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
that's what github and software heritage do too. apparently just publishing your software code means it's open game even if it's all rights reserved.
Just in case people didn't know, the phrase "all rights reserved" does not have any legal consequence (in the early days of copyright people felt it was necessary, but all rights are automatically granted), and uploading content to Github means that you must also license it to Github and other Github users as per the ToS. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can grant that license. https://docs.github.com/en/…
A couple things - you agree github can do it, ostensbly taking archives for backups sure, but in this case it's to distribute out to some 3rd party and explicitly to be locked in a vault with no business purpose.
My personal uploading of say - a GPL licensed code, or hell, microsofts leaked code DOES NOT magically grant github to do whatever they want with it. There's already a license, no?
from the github archive page: > Archiving software across multiple organizations and forms of storage helps to ensure its long-term preservation. "The Arctic Code Vault"
> On 02/02/2020 GitHub captured a snapshot of every active public repository. Those millions of repos were then archived to hardened film designed to last for 1,000 years, and stored in the GitHub Arctic Code Vault in a decommissioned coal mine deep beneath an Arctic mountain in Svalbard, Norway. Our partners include the Long Now Foundation, Software Heritage, the Internet Archive, Microsoft Research’s Project Silica, the Arctic World Archive, GHTorrent, and GHArchive. Our advisors include both technological visionaries and world-renowned experts in the humanities.
so, like, I am sure it was vetted by lawyers, but my plain english understanding of that is github may need to archive it, whats not clear is that github may send it to any number of non profits to do with it what it pleases.
Then you've got software heritage who literally just scrapes the web for cgit repos and copies them without any agreement or license between you as the host and software heritage.
Anyway, it's all very Uber-model. Fuck the legality, we're just gonna do it and fuck it because the worst that can happen is a slap on the wrist.

I'll put money on it that Enterprise customers asked for this. The half-assed part, I can't comment on.

Are you concerned at all about the raspi’s sd card corrupting/failing? I’d feel like this would always be at the back of my mind
