Fantastic, I will check this out!
Now we just need to get projects to start using it and federating their source code :)
I suspect the other comment about Gitlab may have more adoption because lots of projects including some very large ones are already using that platform.
That's really great to hear! It's an incredible vision for an open source future not dependent on MegaCorps, and I am SO here for that!
So like, maybe distributed recommendations, reviews and the like? I could get behind that :)
Honestly I think that the entire landscape of science fiction awards has gone pear shaped and become hopelessly politicized.
And, like the hyper polarization of human society at large, I don't see a solution.
You'll always have the Sad Puppies (Vox Dei followers in sheep's clothing) versus the folks who see themselves as doing good by amplifying under-represented voices.
At the end of the day maybe these larger awards need to go away and be replaced by partisan versions, which is kind of a sad fate to contemplate.
Github
All the benefits of the network effect without the crippling reliance on a single MegaCorp to keep the lights on and not turn hostile like the owners of SourceForge, Reddit, and Freenode IRC.
Would also solve a problem I'm not hearing anyone at all talk about - what happens when the Gitlab / Gittea / whatever instances projects are hosting run out of money and go dark? Those sources are lost forever.
I don't understand this.
How would one federate a shopping cart or an e-commerce store?
I mean, I'm not asking for technical details because we're brain storming, but even in concept I'm struggling with this :)
Yup that's the solution I went with in the end analysis. Just use the exported text file copies of my keys and I'm good to go :)
Interesting food for thought here, but you're talking about making the keys more secure.
These keys are ONLY used to store E-mail credentials, so "Good enough" is plenty :) I'll work on successfully retaining and managing my single key first, and then we can work on flying around the room :)
But thanks!
Hey I just want to thank you for this. It did indeed do exactly what I wanted! I think in the past when I'd tried to export my secret key I musn't have used the right parameters because I could never import it, but when I follow this guide I can!
So now I can just store plaintext private and public keys on my private NAS and import them on any machine where they're needed and I'm good to go!
Baldur's Gate 3 on the desktop because it's so good and Bayonetta on my Steamdeck because I got it dirt cheap from humble bundle and it plays great there :)
Kinda disappointing how much of the community just takes a giant ๐ฉ on Mozilla whatever it does these days. Funding open source is super crazy hard folks. Notice that the really successful well funded projects are fueled by megacorps?
Offering constructive criticism is great but if you don't have better ideas around how to fund an open browser without selling your soul to GOOG or MSFT then perhaps your energy might be better spent elsewhere.
