The Prototype Fund is growing!
With “Resilience,” we’re now funding not only data security and software infrastructure but also alternatives to tech giants and their centralized ecosystems.
Under “Up and Coming,” we aim to specifically support people who are new(ish) to the #FOSS world.
In total, this means up to 19 million euros in additional funding for software developed by the civil society! 🎉

Hey, everybody? I get that it's frustrating when Codeberg is down. But please remember that it's a community project, and that the expectation of "everything is up 100% of the time" was created by exactly those tech companies that were killing off communities for the past 20 years. 100% uptime was never true before Facebook/Google/etc. came around, not even close.
And it's even more difficult to keep things up nowadays; there is *so much more* malicious traffic coming from the internet now than back then, especially since the rise of LLM scrapers.
So if you want Codeberg to be down less often, might I suggest reaching out to them about volunteering instead? Not right now, because they're probably pretty busy getting things back up, but once things have been stabilized a bit. Then you yourself can help improve the uptime!

Is AI Profitable Yet?, https://isaiprofitable.com/.
No.
It doesn’t count neither the environmental, nor the social impacts.

Anubis has a pretty solid business strategy:
1) Release open source software for free
2) Add catgirl branding
3) Charge companies to remove catgirl branding

Stenberg: curl summer of bliss
@Inqb8tr its on hold for the moment as I am busy with Darkglass work + new opensource project with @trummerschlunk (this last one got proper funding, so I couldn't say no)
That means all my time - job/work and "free" time - is now taken.
As there is no one to pass MOD Desktop development to, it is at least temporarily halted until either I do some stuff for MOD again, or there is someone else able to do it.
Personal anecdote, but I am pretty certain most of the recent CI build failures I have seen in the past few weeks in projects of mine have been due to some breakage in GitHub.
It is more than 50% chance, to the point where I don't really care much about failures. It usually means I need to re-run/retry the build at some later point.
If not GitHub, also often it's something being offline or throwing server errors.
Maybe around 5-10% are real issues.

Sorry to be a downer but I feel demoralized over how crafts for mastering which I've dedicated a good part of my life have become little more than party tricks thanks to amazing technology and systemic violation of intellectual property of individuals. Corporations have rights - people don't. I am not against progress, bit I am fiercely opposed to mass appropriation of our creative work and selling that back to people who don't care. This isn't new. Print, photography, samplers. We'll survive.

The day I logged 1 in every 2000 public IPv4: visualizing the AI scraper DDoS
What if you run a few online services for you and your friends, like a small git instance and a grocery list service, but you get absolutely hammered by "AI" scrapers?
I cannot impress upon you, reader, that this is not only an attack that is coordinated, it is an attack that is

Heads up GitHub users. You have less than a month left to opt out of "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training".
"On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out." https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source
What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
