I would like to upload the code to https://storyseedlibrary.org/ Solarpunk art library publicly and accept Pull Requests with any suggestions / submissions people have.

The repository is roughly ~200 MB, can grow up to ~500 in the future.

What would be the best platform to do it, balancing Solarpunk's #floss philosophy with user-friendliness?

#Masthon 0.1.1 alpha is now up !

Masthon is a package that links your programs to the mastodon #API

The version 0.1.1 alpha is published on #gitlab : Come on and review, see my #code at https://gitlab.com/Gator3000/masthon/-/releases.

You can install the package with #pip :
```
pip install git+https://gitlab.com/Gator3000/masthon.git
```
The #documentation will be available tomorrow when the beta will be published.

If you want information or to #contribute tell me on this account.

Hello from the #API at time : `Mon Apr 28 17:54:45 2025`.
The project used is **#Masthon** a simple #python package whitch links to #Mastodon coded by an #french student !
Let's check my #code on #gitlab -> https://gitlab.com/Gator3000/masthon.git. It's #opensource !

#OnThisDay 10 years ago @dboehmer started the development of Coocook! Today it’s a #FOSS project with a handful of active contributors and https://Coocook.org/ is a free web platform that can be used by anyone to provide food for group events with volunteer work.

We have a lot of fun making Coocook and will continue to improve the UI to make it easier to plan cooking for everyone!

#gitlab 17.11.1, 17.10.5, 17.9.7 Security patch release

#adminlife #opensource

To anyone who runs a forgejo instance, small or large: does it feel mature and stable at this point? Is there anything that you feel is essential missing?

I need to set some folks up with a self hosted git forge and its basically a choice between gitlab and forgejo.

Migration of the FreeDesktop GitLab instance moved to Hetzner + Fastly from Equinix!

FreeDesktop GitLab migrated to Hetzner from Equinix

Starting this year, Equinix have decided to end their operations with the FreeDesktop infrastructure after support of almost five years has passed. They have set the tentative deadline of April 30th for migration to other services, and the FreeDesktop team have chosen Hetzner as the server provider. This GitLab instance was also affected, because it hosted a lot of great open source projects, such as X.Org Server, Mesa GL library, and much more.

This migration is now complete, with most (if not all) of the work being done according to the plan outlined in this issue reported against the main FreeDesktop project (Issue 2076). It caused the GitLab server to be much faster than before, which is important for anyone contributing to the FreeDesktop project, especially the developers who contribute a lot of great work to different projects.

The SSH connection has also changed thanks to this migration, along with Fastly CDN, and the new hostname to connect to the FreeDesktop Git instance using SSH has now become ssh.gitlab.freedesktop.org from gitlab.freedesktop.org. You can configure your SSH client to make an alias for the old hostname to point to the new one using the following configuration file created on ~/.ssh/config:

Host gitlab.freedesktop.org    HostName ssh.gitlab.freedesktop.org

The team has prepared a maintenance tracker site, which showed a lot of green lights as you can see here. Alongside this, the untagged runners for the CI workflow have become privileged without support for KVM, and anyone who requires this support must tag them with the kvm tag.

If you’re suffering from slow speeds while working on a FreeDesktop project, this migration is now complete, and you should be able to interact with it faster.

Ich schätze #GitLab als Werkzeug immer mehr.

Gerade rausgefunden, dass es möglich ist, individuelle Kalender zu Issues zu abonnieren, z.B. anhand des Fälligkeitsdatums.

Und es können sogar Filter gesetzt werden, sodass die Kalender beispielsweise nur diejenigen Issues anzeigt, für die man selbst verantwortlich ist.

Mal schauen, ob eine Kollegin nun auch zu GitLab umziehen wird.

I have just taken the time to thoroughly read the following article

This article has led me to the conclusion that an Open{source} War will have to be waged against LLM large language model abusers of data collection.

The work of these bots is pure DDoS denial of service. An interesting set of offensive tools have been programmed and are already implemented. They have proven to be quite effective and are being refined into sophistication to literally work to knock these networks of bots offline, in a DOT MMORPG approach.

It is unthinkable that LLM bots steal our Open Source resources servers bandwidth and financial cashflow without serious repercussions!

WTF are LLM companies thinking? Even Meta has waged war against us!

LLM has waged a brutal war.

The Open Source Community is responding; even those at The Dark Side of the internet are making tools to assist everyone against Artificial Intelligence LLM DDoS attacks, which knock whole Open Source Networks offline, as we speak.

It doesn't matter if in the end it looks like a Terminator landscape globally on the IT scale. Open source will win. LLM will disappear...
