  • I don’t think you realise how easy migration from Github is lol… Ask the Jira guys if you want an example of moving ISSUES. And Github easily has the most comprehensive API out of any service which makes migration VERY easy.

    I know you think you’re helping Open source, but you’re doing the opposite here.

    1. One of my projects failed in part because we were screwing around with infrastructure too much. Github is EXTREMELY comprehensive
    2. Github is extremely UNRESTRICTIVE from the API side, especially considered to more “friendly” ones like SourceForge. VERY easy to migrate from to other 3rd party services. I’ve come across open options which don’t really have any good means of migration
    3. It sounds great “oh set up your own server, etc”… Woo pro open source. It’s NOT. We did that once too. Wastes money, and wastes resources unless you’re a large organisation
    4. If Microsoft is “that bad”, you should be making forks for their MIT projects (like VS Code). You’re not…
    5. It makes us all look bad when people try to present Assumptions as facts, because every developer sees through them. There’s a reason no projects are actually protesting here…
    6. On one hand you’re arguing Microsoft can’t add any services because thats bad. On another hand, if they remove them, you’ll argue something different. They can’t win
    7. It’s literally NORMAL for any large developer project to need to authenticate your information with a login for lots of things. Firefox, Fedora, etc. Personally, if I’m contributing stack dumps, I don’t want my stack dumps accessible by everyone…
    8. Contributor agreements on these projects are also incredibly common in case you weren’t aware…
    9. You’re taking what you read from the other post as Gospal. You haven’t even tested that posts claims (or you have and couldn’t prove them)

    Just so you know, one of my projects was actually mentioned in LinuxWorld Magazine 20 years ago and mentioned at the front of Slashdot, and I’ve used everything from self-hosted, Gitlab to Github over the years (CVS, SVN, Mercurial, tried the Ubuntu one but forget the name and Git now).

    I think you’ve forgotten what open source is actually about… It’s about developing code, not managing infrastructure… And you’re conveniently glossing over how easy it is to migrate data from Github (its definitely not trapped there).

    Instead of screaming “Microsoft Sucks” and nitpicking, you should be asking developers why they aren’t moving. That’s what helps open source developers



  • I was the only one in that thread who actually tested that post last week, and i couldn’t replicate it. Nobody tested it, and there wasn’t even a screenshot or repo which was tested. There was 0 evidence. People only suggested A/B testing only after I tested it, because they were likely too lazy to test (and rather than ask OP for their testing methodology, instead just assumed they were right). Nobody mentioned it in any projects either, and they WOULD have. I suspect OP was wrong (and there was a partial outage that day), which could have affected those services.

    The search for code DOES NOT MATTER! You can still download the code… Not a big deal. The tipoff should be, that nobody hosted by Github is actually publicly complaining about it on their project lol

    I actually STRONGLY agree with that lawsuit though

    Just because Microsoft made improvements to the service, doesn’t mean they plan to extinguish anything. It doesn’t always happen (VS Code is a good example… Totally open source, multiplatform, and MIT licenced)


  • There’s no lock-in whatsoever on Github… And it’s free for open source projects…

    And no account is required unless you’re submitting code…

    The only valid thing here is the Github AI training honestly, but there is no reason to believe they can’t scan code from other repo’s.

    Also, its only a matter of time until Microsoft gets sued for it


  • I really don’t see the problem with switching the names.

    You seem to be the only one in this entire discussion getting triggered about being more inclusive honestly. Nobody else cares…

    But yeah, as others have said, the changes make sense regardless, and if it’s more inclusive, I have no problem with that. It’s not a big deal for me, but it might be for other people.

    If you’re offended by the change, you can still use master as your main repo.


  • For schlubs like us, not really that useful.

    I only use it for turning on my ac/heating remotely using sensibo and for lights really. But I can use 2 apps for that

    But, if you have multi story house or a large house, at a minimum, you really need a quick way to turn everything off with one press when leaving as an example and to ensure everything is locked. We also do things like allow all TV’s to see the CCTV, get alerts for pool, etc

    Some home automation stuff though is pointless or a bad idea. And there are rich people who definitely do it to show off their house.

    Commercial jobs also often need it, because people can’t be expected to know how to work the remotes, and lights need occupancy, etc. Also, there are considerations for emergencies and such

    HA is basically a step above Google and Alexa, but some jobs need the stronger stuff


  • The other problem also comes down to developing support for products which may require proprietary protocols or confidential API keys and such. To my knowledge, HA is in Python and doesn’t really allow it properly.

    It really depends what level of integration you’re going for. But products like Control4 and Elan have proper fully integrated remotes which allow easy control of AV too.

    So, if free is your goal, ha will get many things done fine. But, just be aware if you don’t mind paying or are looking for commercial jobs, you should also at least look at the other options.









  • CAT6 officially maxes out at 10gbps. CAT7 can apparently do 40gbps up to 50m, but i seem to recall the cables being fairly chunky

    The theoretical maximum of Wifi 7 is 46gbps.

    If you buy preterminated Fibre, it brings the cost down significantly (at least in the past, the main cost was terminating them), especially if you get it from companies like fs.com (I have no affiliation with them, and whilst they seem to be the cheapest in Australia, not sure its the same overseas).

    OM3 is 100gbps minimum for shorter distances. OM4 is apparently 400gbps up to 150m I think. OM5 is 6x the speed of OM4 (so is insane)


  • If you’re going to run copper, you’ll probably want to run 4 of them.

    You still want to run some copper regardless (at least 1 or 2), but I’d also recommend fibre (om3/4/5). OM3 can achieve 100gbps fairly easily, and om4 is even faster

    Om5 honestly is probably more than future proof (is orders of magnitude faster). If you run preterminated, it can save a lot of money on the install too.

    Make sure you run conduit too
