Say it loud, say it clear, #FOSS projects should be hosted in organizations, not personal repositories!
I thought it was common knowledge but couldn't find a convincing page explaining why, so I made a blog post:

When building software, I believe it is important to work in public. Software can give small groups of developers immense power over lots of people. Like how governments work in public and corporations have to be more public than private company, developers should be transparent not only with their source code, but also the discussions and processes while building it. This can be hard to get used to, but not bad once used to it. Great examples of this are #Debian #GitLab and IMHO #FDroid

Back at #allthingsopen where I have a few specific folks to try to talk to about #fedi. Those being #nextcloud, #gitlab, #raleigh city, #rockylinux and anyone else willing to put up with me. :-D. I'm wearing a long sleeve white #NPR shirt with #wunc on the back for those that want to find me.

Wow, the damage from that Red Hat GitLab breach seems to be getting worse by the day. Jeez.
The Crimson Collective, the cybercriminal gang claiming responsibility for breaching the repo and stealing over 500GB of data, now seems to be collaborating with other cybercriminal gangs to extort Red Hat.
From the article, the cybercrim alliance:
"threatens to publish a "multi terabyte of data haul of your most sensitive intellectual property" and accuses Red Hat of failing to safeguard what it claims are trade secrets and personal data, invoking GDPR and US state privacy laws. It also reckons Red Hat's doors were kicked in on September 13 – weeks before the company came clean about the break-in."

@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;
Looking to leave GitHub?
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.
