Ah, hmm, maybe that’s just how it works on Linux and macOS then. I was wondering, because Windows doesn’t support replacing files while they’re opened in a process, so I guess makes sense that it needs the restart upfront…

It’s a technical limitation why Firefox has to force the restart.

If you’re not on Linux (or using a build with auto-updater anyways), then the only way to stop this is to turn off auto-updates.
However, it will still notify of new updates and then you can decide when to do the update: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1448482

That is the case, if you’re updating it via package manager, yes. But if you’re using the built-in auto-updater (like people tend to do on Windows and macOS), then it happens automatically in the background, unless you tell the auto-updater to not update automatically.

You must’ve caught my comment shortly before I snuck that “non-security” into there. 🙃

Slowroll can alleviate that pain, if you’re fine with non-security updates being delayed by up to six weeks or so.

You can try to apply for a grant at Mozilla: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/moss/secure-open-source/
Their list of “audits we’ve completed so far” ends in 2019, though, so no idea if they still have money for this.

Otherwise, sometimes governments or hacking contests, like Pwn2Own, do audits/pentests, but you pretty much just have to be a well-known open-source project either way…

Yeah, they renamed it a couple months ago. The core team got tired of copying MineCraft 1-to-1, as there’s just no creativity involved in that and you’re hardly allowed to improve on the original.

Statcounter relies on web tracking to try to estimate the usage shares. Theoretically, there could be millions of science PCs running Linux, but one guy is browsing the internet with a Windows PC. Basically, take this data with a massive grain of salt…

Oh man, for a moment I thought they’re still producing the Nintendo 3DS, but no, “New” is part of the console name…

I’m rather guessing the other way around. Because they can’t directly extract money from this, they can’t justify to their shareholders to sit down full-time devs. Instead, this is a project solely run by interns and student.

The fun part is that as a dev, you don’t really know that either. It’s just the file name of the executable. Anyone can rename that.
And even if it’s not renamed, you still don’t know, if your users need to call it with just hx or with ./hx or some other path.

Obviously, you should mention somewhere that the executable is likely called hx, but because that requires an explanation, there’s certainly a tendency to not mention it very often…

Who pissed in your muesli?

It annoys me in particular, because AI builds on top of open-source pretty much in every aspect. If they’re just going to use this money to buy LLM licenses, that money will not go to the people doing most of the work.

Your mirror might have problems. In the F-Droid settings → Repositories → F-Droid, you could try deactivating mirrors to see, if it works then.

They’ve got a migration feature, which should also migrate issues, pull requests and whatnot.

And then they offer a push mirror, so if you push to a Codeberg repo, you can have it automatically push to GitHub, too. (Alternatively, you could also just add two remotes to your local Git and push to both, if it’s just you developing.)

They don’t offer a pull mirror, so where it would automatically fetch the newest commits from GitHub, basically because it lead to lots of abandoned repos needlessly eating up resources. But maybe GitHub offers a push mirror itself?
More info for pull mirrors here: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/1487#issuecomment-1575165

As for general advice, from what I hear, the CI/CD stuff on Codeberg isn’t yet as mature as it is on GitHub, so if you need it, maybe look into that before you do the big jump.
But yeah, I don’t feel like a ton advice is needed beyond that. You mostly interact with things via Git, which stays the same. And personally, I always find the Codeberg webpage easier to navigate than GitHub, despite my dayjob requiring me to use the latter daily.

I’m actively using it and have never seen it down.

Which isn’t to say, it’s never down, I do sometimes see them announcing maintenance windows on Mastodon, but those are certainly not every other day and usually over pretty quickly…

Edit: Last downtime they announced was on the 2nd of August, for a server software upgrade. It was finished in less than 9 minutes: https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/112894115492565393
So, yeah, I don’t know when you tried it, but I do think, it improved massively since then…

A local shop has these self-checkout registers on which I saw they’re running CentOS.

I don’t know why you’re so angry, just because I have a different opinion. You’re also insinuating that I would be circlejerking against Apple or giving Google a free pass, which I’m not.

It isn’t, if you’re already familiar with Rust. That’s all I’m saying. Swift usage is largely isolated to Apple’s ecosystem, which doesn’t have a ton of overlap with the open-source ecosystem.

And I actually disagree that Rust is overhyped, because it can be used for creating libraries which can be called from virtually any other language, like you can with C and C++. Which means you’re not locked into the Rust/Apple/whatever ecosystem, but instead could be coding the next SQLite without needing to be fluent in footgun.

From what I can tell, this would theoretically be possible in Swift, but hasn’t been implemented: https://forums.swift.org/t/formalizing-cdecl/40677

But even if Rust was the most overhyped garbage, it would still be garbage that people are familiar with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But Rust is rather good at that, too, via cxx. Mozilla similarly had a C++ codebase where they wanted to integrate Rust.

Granted, this is raw theory. Maybe Swift is better in practice. But yeah, to me personally, it would need to be massively better to pretty much give up on open-source contributions.
