662: The GitHub Diet

Hey, it's been a while, I wanted to boost so many times, but didn't have the time 😅 1. For the stage 4 BSD challenge I say you test how gaming works. You pick a game that's supposedly supported in BSD, and you get points for managing to install and play. I'll try to participate, I have a dell xps and an x260 lying around 2. For what is worth ai like the AI content 😀

I love the episode 666 daemonic challenge plan. One idea for a challenge would be to run Linux binaries or even a Linux container. I think Brent in particular might enjoy NetBSD on some dumpster hardware. It can run on remarkably small machines!

First agents, now private Github replacements? Y’all are reading my mind. I’m currently starting my homelab from scratch over again on a new computer and IaC and AI are my two primary focuses. Great to hear y’all’s input on it! Keep it up!

Soaceballs boost to test the fountain node split. If this doesn’t go well, I might have to look at a self hosted Alby hub (on Nix of course). (No need to read this one during the show. I sent a bigger one earlier.)

Does anyone else have the problem of the boost audio clips slipping into your day to day vernacular? I've accidentally dropped, "they're doing a lot with mayo these days" and "that is a tasty burger" in several conversations without thinking about it and I just called my coworker a rich lobster. 😆 I guess it's just a sign of how integrated JB is in my life. 😁

One thing that gets lost in the license conversation is that as it currently stands, LLMs are just Large License Launderers. One of the great things about copyleft FOSS is that you know that all derivations will continue to benefit humanity by also being FOSS. But as it is now we lose all freedoms as soon as someone makes a proprietary derivation using an agent. "Roll over and take it because they're going to violate your code and the freedoms of your users anyway" isn't a very good stance, and neither is "put up a bunch of useless walls that also violate your users freedoms" 🤪 it just feels silly that the two leading arguments on this subject break foss ethos in different ways. I'd think that if we can get both sides to come to an agreement on an interface to let AI access the code and also respect the license, we could get the best of both worlds. Even if it's just a setting you can give your agent to include or exclude source material that is compatible with the license of your project or something. If you're also writing gpl, go ham! If you're writing proprietary, then you can consciously make the choice on whether or not you'll abide the license. Another benefit to something like that would be that folks at companies that block copyleft deps can actually enjoy all the fun AI stuff we have without worry of getting in trouble. 😁 Of course all of that is easier said than done.

Forgejo sounds like a great GitHub alternative. Why not use GitLab locally-hosted, though?

Use Bitwarden. Open source you can host yourself can’t disappear.
