Forgejo/Gitea are probably the most common "low-resource" (read: doesn't use a couple of GB RAM, like Gitlab supposedly does) code forges.
Do you want to impress future employers by running an enterprise-grade bugtracker or by showing that you can document your work with meaningful bug reports/etc.?
If it's the first option, consider Gitlab, if it's the second option, what ever you like.
There already good recommendations, so i'll just add that you shouldn't make your work life harder for the sake of running Linux.
Definetly give it a go, and see if it fulfills your needs, but maybe hold off on nuking your Windows install until you are satisfied.
I use my Linux computer for personal stuff and some work stuff (web-browsing, email, office suite) and i have a separate Windows PC just for running applications specific to my field, which don't have Linux versions or alternatives (or where it makes the most sense for me to use the industry standard)
I can't find it now, but i'm pretty sure there exists smart home light switches that are powered by you pressing it.
IIRC they run Zigbee to communicate with the smart home and had a bit more resistance when pressing (= more energy).
Because they will quickly use up a ton of storage just for showing other instances content, or did i misunderstand you?
That is a good question, but methods like pruning old content from other instances might evolve into a path for solving this (very real problem).
Federation as it stands right now is a terrible system.
I beg to differ. Right now federation is an okay solution. My proof is that it at least works, and that the problem you mention isn't killing the fediverse (yet).
We should not forget that ActivityPub is a W3C standard, (which itself is a huge milestone for a decentralized internet) and like other similiar standards (eg. HTTP) it can be iterated on and improved when solutions to new or old problems are found.
I believe we are reffering to two different, but related things.
As i understand your comment, you are reffering to "the platform is responsible for what the users upload to it", or rather whether they are responsible and i am reffering to "(eg.) Torrent sites don't host copyrighted content, they only link to it".
My knowledge about the latter is from many years ago, so i might be wholly or partly wrong.
The former i think is a really interesting balancing act, since i believe that huge platforms that earns billions on hosting user content should be forced to use some of that profit to remove dangerous content, but if that obligation was put on small platforms like Lemmy instances or even the initial Twitter or Facebook, right when they lanched, they would be never be able to get up and running, which would cement the current Big Tech monopolies.
I am not very knowledgable about this specific topic, but i believe the European Unions attempts at solving this is distinguishing between the giants and everybody else, which again, is a great balancing act.
Base64 encoding is not a legal loophole, it's a method to avoid automated content filters on platforms like Reddit and Discord. Encoding a link in base64 offers no legal protections.
Thank you for correcting me. It makes a lot more sense that you can't just encode something to make it legal.
At least talk about.
That's what she's criticizing her western followers and the western media for not doing.
The thought that all the western world can do is to either declare war or sit on our hands is plain wrong.
"But not the oppressive government willing to imprison and kill her" FTFY
I must admit i don't know exactly what is and isn't in this community, but The Pirate Bay ended being closed because it "facilitated piracy" or something like that. (Of course it didn't actually close but the legal loophole was closed, so legal action could be taken)
I don't remember details but essentially it was decided (in some court, somewhere, i guess) that linking to illegally copied material was also illegal.
IIRC the new loophole became encoding the link to what ever you wanted to copy, for example as base64. That's what's done here, right? (Please correct me if i'm wrong)
My point is that this may, in a legal sense, actually be spreading copyrighted material, and the risk of being sued (no matter if you are in the right) is a very good reason to not run the risk, since the legal system favors deep pockets and good lawyers over challenging the limits of the law.
For good measure, i want to point out that i am absolutely for the free sharing of knowledge and culture. The whole world gains from free access to this. I just also sympathize with not wanting to be a martyr in this battle.
Also, as the person i replied to earlier made me aware, the admin of LW is apparently a homophobic asshole, so fuck that guy.
But it is hosted on your home server.
When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.
This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.
You already have some good suggestions, so i just want to mention openWRT which can be flashed on off-the-shelf router combo (just check their supported devices first, if you go this route)
By circumstance.
It was hard for me initially to switch over because i kept either creating or running into problems i couldn't figure out how to solve.
This overlapped with the Snowden leaks and i got really interested in privacy and security which lead to me running Qubes OS[1] for a short while. It was a slow and almost painful experience since i didn't actually have anything worth that effort to protect - but it got me over the edge and i wiped Qubes and reinstalled Fedora 23.
At the time i just liked the package manager better, for reasons that are no longer relevant.
Today i like it because it forces me into good habits of: figuring out what exactly is misbehaving > finding the official documentation or issue tracker for it > finding a solution or reporting the it to the developers.
Don't tire yourself out with that in the beginning. Just do stuff you need or stuff that seems fun.
Protip: Learn how to use Toolbx or Distrobox to create a "sandbox", (that's both the technical term and a very descriptive one) that will make it easier to get back to a working state if you mess something up. Learn about and understand what it can't get back to a working state. This will help keep you sane if you like to tinker.
1 A Linux-like operating system that only runs VMs and everything you do happens inside one of these. This way you can isolate you virtual "work computer" from your virtual "personal computer", making it harder for malicious programs to access the rest if your data.
Then use Bugzilla. That will show you are ready to flail yourself for the good of the company /s
Sorry, but i find that platform so painful to use.
On a more serious note, i think some of the "github-style" (Gitlab/Gitea/Forgejo) can migrate between each other.
Check out if that's true and if so, try them all!
