Note that this is fundamentally different from the Astral acquisition. At the end of their announcement, they stated: > Cirrus CI will shut down effective Monday, June 1, 2026. And earlier in the article: > Joining OpenAI allows us to extend the mission we started with Cirrus Labs: building new kinds of tooling and environments that make engineers more effective, for both human engineers and agentic engineers. It isn…

I mostly clicked the link because I was curious if Cirrus Labs operates Cirrus CI and if so how that would be impacted. Looks like I’ll need to move the FreeBSD CI jobs for open source projects I maintain to another solution. Anyone have suggestions for alternatives?

Same for me. I liked the native BSD runners, qemu on gh is much slower.

This is a VC site. Morality or changing the world for the better is window dressing on earning as much money as possible and damn anyone who gets in the way. Morality is only good in as much as it’s good for business to be seen as moral. Money people have been majority running things for over 2 decades at least but the mythos lives on.

Killing bad people is changing the world for the better

I seriously doubt that’s the case. Someone will take offense in your killing, and come back for you and your tribe. And so round and round it goes.

Maybe it’s just my age or how my brain works, but positivity with a touch of BS is just business-speak. My company sold itself to a crappy company who fired most of us, but my departure message for my colleagues was full of “I’ve enjoyed this journey, it’s been a privilege, blah blah” and not “I’ve actually been counting down the days to be done with this nonsense since even before the acquisition.” You say this stuf…

> But no one wants to work with or hire someone who comes right out and says “I hope we sell the company to some rich jerks (ANY rich jerks, really!) so I can retire to the Bahamas.” So just lie to them long enough to extract the value you need to sell out, right? Thank you for the unabashed insight for the reader, but, as a founder: shame on that. > we all agree to sugar coat this type of thing. We all love money We…

Agreed. It’s the good old “A little beating never hurt anyone. It certainly didn’t break me when my parents did it!” speech.

Genuinely curious on why I'm getting down voted for the above comment

Didn’t downvote, but I’m assuming dogging the team’s transition while waiting for their freebies is where people are getting caught up with your comment.

Fair. I guess the quotes make it seem sarcastic, but that was not my intention when I was quoting the article's terms. I'm genuinely interested in their approach to the community transition/transfer and what those terms mean, but it's likely they're not at liberty to say just yet. I am an active FOSS contributor to several projects, but what they do here will affect whether I am willing or even able to contribute to whatever this project becomes.

The Cirrus team is fantastic, and they'll be missed in the market.

We've shared a few customers over the years, and we have an increasing number of folks moving over after this change.

Feel free to drop me a note at hugo at namespacelabs.com to chat about it.

Wow Cirrus was like the one cool CI thing with first-class Podman support. RIP. Guess I'm looking elsewhere (and not at Dagger which refuses to support rootless Podman).

AFAIU Dagger is moving away from Docker, too. They're working on their own container engine in order to be able to improve caching.
