Best Alternatives to GitHub?
  • Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that's not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

    Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different "classes" of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

    I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren't renewing... Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

    I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

    Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!

  • Docker Raises Prices Up to 80 Percent | ServeTheHome
  • There are some reasons. Networking can get messed up, so Docker Desktop "fixed that" for you, but the dirty secret is it's basically a Linux VM with Docker CE and some convenience network routes.

  • Featured
    Programming.dev instance: Sponsors needed
  • If you're thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

  • Beersheets suggestions?
  • I usually get a "free" sub to one of the popular draft sites by placing a $5 bet on one of the betting platforms to make a sheet. Not sure what I'm doing this year yet, but your linked once looks pretty good.

  • Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results
  • I might be wrong, but they meta-search across multiple providers, including their own. The real benefit is that YOU can choose which search subjects to prioritize when trying to find something specific.

    For normal search stuff, this feels like "old Google" (no ai spam). For detailed searching, its better than any other engine I've used.

  • It wouldn't be noticed by you, it's noticed by the shorter folks. I'm tall enough to "pass" for tall, but no one says "you're tall" to me. My short friends have all had to deal with this phenomenon.

  • Where are the old (30s) granpa gamers?
  • I have a plan to develop a standalone wow pserver that's all set up with directions on how to do everything so my wife, kids, whoever can plop my dimentiated self in azeroth where I can't get lost.

  • CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed
  • We use Alma, which is basically Rocky. Before that, CentOS. Lots of people don't need or want the expensive support contracts.

    OSS support though donations and commits is the way to go unless you get value out of those contracts (we would not).

  • Any MythTV Users Here?
  • I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.

    I'm still happy with and love the Tablo, but it's no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.

  • What are some preparations you think people should know about in advance of migrating to Linux?
  • Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don't work with Linux.

    I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.
