@amyworrall @simplenomad @jackeric @neil no; at smaller co. taking holiday is always a discussion, and being responsible with it . Moving to unlimited holiday was no change.
#TIL that you can use #Libravatar instead of Gravatar with a community-hosted GitLab service;

Try Codeberg — it's Git, but based in Germany (Europe), without all of Microsoft's nonsense. They're also on the Fediverse: @Codeberg.
But wait — it gets better!
Codeberg is open source, and you can even host your own instance. The software is called Forgejo, built by the same folks behind Codeberg, and they're on the Fediverse too: @forgejo.

With my squishy ☕-adled brain I forgot which large #FOSS project(s) recently chose for #Forgejo adoption to migrate away from either #Gitlab, #Github, or #Atlassian code forges. Can anyone enlighten me?
@forgejo this may be a good one for delightful forgejo curated list. Add an "Major adopters" section..

I have to use #Gitlab CI at $work, and I'm surprised how clunky it is.
CI Components are not real components, they just dump YAML into a global namespace, needing hacks to customize them.
There's no reusability at the granularity of Github Actions (other than concatenation of bash scripts).
I keep running into dead ends. I check Gitlab's own bug tracker to see if anybody had the same problem: created 5 years ago, 200+ thumbs up, no official response.

I'm looking for examples of platforms where privileges or memberships of users expire after a term or some inactivity threshold. I'm thinking it could be a useful feature to have in forge platforms (like #forgejo, #gitlab or #github) and seek design inspiration. Any ideas? @douginamug @ntnsndr

The https://forgefed.org developers are extending the specs, and asking for feedback in the issue trackers on #Codeberg, but none is forthcoming.
As a result large crowds root for @forgefed #forge federation to come along, but it will not happen anytime soon at the current pace.
@nlnet through #NGI0 provide funding to #ForgeFed, #Vervis, #Anvil, and also #Forgejo and these people are bravely forging ahead. More community help is needed though.
Same is true for #Gitlab's federation efforts.
Roughly speaking our grassroots commons faces 3 challenges..
1. Tyranny of small decisions. Uncoordinated action makes it impossible to collaborate at scale
2. Herding of cats. Attempts to govern fiercely independent autonomous people doomed to fail
3. Tragedy of the commons. Unsustainable imbalance between value extraction and delivery
What ailed @forgefed for a long time is that everyone is interested for #ForgeFed to become the real deal, yet no one was working on it, no feedback.

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”
You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”
Considering GitLab? Don’t. Use @Codeberg.

PS. Here’s where to go: @Codeberg
(As an additional bonus, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing you’re part of an anti-fascist not-for-profit cooperative instead of a trillion-dollar US corporation that’s helping Israel commit genocide.)

Introduzione a Framagit: https://dgxy.link/Framagit
Questa traduzione di un tutorial per l'uso del software libero Gitlab nella versione di Framasoft, ha gà qualche anno, ma può sempre tornare utile :)
GitLab è basato su Git, un software di gestione delle versioni decentralizzato creato nel 2005 da Linus Torvalds e distribuito con licenza GNU General Public License.
