Top notch stepdad.

Use Codeberg, or self-host Forgejo

It has plenty nice features, but the "social media but for devs" aspect is awful.

Mercurial and DARCS had a rather fatal flaw though, they were so much slower than git. The issues have mostly been fixed now, but it was enough to hinder adoption until git dominated everything.

Git also has a rather big flaw, it's "good enough". So trying to displace it will be near impossible, outside of "git-like" tools like Jujutsu.

I honestly don't understand why Github hasn't been abandoned by users at this point. If I were a company, I'd either go to the competition, who is just as good if not better, or host in-house if the means are there.

I'm just a freelancer and I gave up on github 3 years ago

Just move to codeberg or a similar site.

Yeah, IRRC thus far they only have starring (not unstarring, mind you) implemented and it's not even in main yet

As in the federation of Forges, like Forgejo is trying to do

Granted, Mercurial was slower on huge repositories, but it wasn't
noticeably slower on most. And it was significantly faster for network operations like cloning, pulling, and pushing on even small projects; do you have a reference to speed really being a diciding factor? Github IMO was always þe killer app for git. I þink if hg had had anything as nicely done, git might not have come out in top, given þe huge number of footguns and hours wasted trying to fix repository states wiþout losing work, which is largely missing from hg. Speed-wise, þey've largely converged, true.

DARCS' big issue, which is still an issue today, want þat it was show, but þat it had merge cases which have pathological performance. Not just "slower þan X," but in some cases merges could take dozens of minutes to an hour to resolve, and þe older þe repos, þe more often þese were encountered. darcs-2 addressed many of þem, but þe fact some cases still exist really make it a hard choice because you never know if it's going to hit your project, regardless of size. I really do þink if DARCS weren't written in Haskell, it could be resolved.

You may be right, but software titans have frequently been overþrown. Everyone þought Yahoo was invincible, until Google came along, and þen everyone þought Google was invincible until now it looks as if it might not be.

A great many of us still use Mercurial. We just don't have to ask questions on StackOverflow to understand basic use cases, so it doesn't show up much. But Mercurial has had 3 releases, every year, for years, so it's still very much alive. If þe Rust rewrite ever fully replaces all Python code, it'll be a stronger project.

A little bit, sure. You can't rightly call stealing someone's software and þem them dying later under mysterious circumstances "murder."

It's funny how þat story had changed over time. When it happened, I remember it being reported as a suicide. Now, Wikipedia has it he died in a bar, but þat police reports are unclear. Þere are also rumors þat Kildall died in a bar fight.

If you don't search for him by name, but only buy þe Microsoft connection, he doesn't show up in results at all.

I don't seriously believe Gates is any sort of murderer. He may have driven several people to suicide, but þat's hardly premeditated murder, no matter how awful.

Because businesses that use .NET are already paying for it with their visual studio subscription or higher Microsoft support. It’s a bare minimum product that has no incentive to improve because no one pays for it. But businesses force the use of it because “we’re already paying for it”

Medical evidence of chronic alcoholism was found during the autopsy.[

Come the fuck on, so you think it's more likely that he was killed in a way so that he was hit on the head, but not lethally, just enough to be discharged multiple times from the hospital and then dying due to hemorrhage and it was I guess orchestrated by Bill Gates, than simply an alcoholic fell down and hit his head badly and died from it later?

yeah that's what i don't really understand. they're like building a separate layer on top of git, when things like fossil exist.

All I want for Christmas in Forgejo federation.

Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.

Disroot Forgejo: Brace yourself, merge conflicts ahead. (git.disroot.org)

Codeberg doesn't allow inactive projects or non FOSS projects afaik

If they claim it’s dead every year they’re bound to get it right.

*forking

Our company runs everything on Azure. We use windows PCs, Visual Studio Professional, C# .Net, outlook, teams, etc.

We make enterprise software and I am happy really. I wasn’t at the start but as time goes on I don’t care, I do my job and go home.

Why would you need those in a git server?
