Thanks to the cloud act it doesn't matter if the datacenter is in the US or the EU or on the moon - the US government (or US agencies or US courts or whatever) can always request access and US companies have to grant it.

The article says that TLS was involved, but isn't it supposed to prevent that?
Just because they manipulate DNS that doesn't mean they have valid private keys of the domains involved? Or have they compromised a CA as well?

I'm just one guy, not a corporation or at least association, I can't afford legal issues like that :-/
(of course a very German problem, in other countries you could probably react to a C&D by taking down the repo in question without having to pay anyone anything. Also not optimal esp. if the claims are dubious, but much smaller risk)

A completely different thing is: I have thought about hosting a Forgejo instance myself for source ports, open source games and such. Not a private instance, but much smaller scale than Codeberg.
But as I live in Germany I fear that I'll have to pay for cease-and-desist orders (Abmahnung) in case someone feels their rights violated by reverse-engineered reimplementations of their games or whatever...

TBH the pain level is pretty high already.
All those posts hidden behind "Load more…" buttons in longer issues or PR discussions really annoy me - especially in combination with that idiotic "images become invalid after 5 minutes" issue (WTF) and often poor general performance

(To be clear, I don't assume that "just adding a button" is all that needs to be done to make this work, it's just the user-facing thing that would be different vs existing PRs - in addition to specifying git URL + branch name instead of selecting it from a list. When talking about this potential feature people always pointed out that it can't work because Forgejo doesn't know when you push on the remote server and.. yes, but that's not a big issue, just let users update with a button)

CI is definitely a big reason for GH.
Especially (free) builds on/for macOS are something I couldn't setup myself (at reasonable cost).
Another problem is that even third-party CI hosters like CircleCI or CirrusCI or Travis AFAIK don't work with Codeberg (or Forgejo in general). Obviously that's not Codebergs/Forgejos fault, but it's something that so far has kept me at Github :-/

One thing that would IMHO help for federation without full support would be to allow creating pull requests from any public Git repo.
I *think* it shouldn't be super hard?
Might require an "Update" button to pull in new changes (vs the local ones where pushed changes update the PR automatically), but otherwise I think it could work quite well and, together with the SSO you mentioned, be a very good start until full federation support is done

Earlier this week I released the third (and hopefully last) Release Candidate for dhewm3 1.5.5: https://dhewm3.org/#dhewm3-1.5.5-release-candidate-3
Testing is very welcome!
The biggest changes since 1.5.4 are:
* Removed microstutters, runs at smooth 60FPS now instead of trying to run at 62.5FPS which is bad on 60Hz screens with VSync
* Support for aspect-ratio-independent GUIs (HUD and menus). Requires updated GUIs, dhewm3 provides ones for base game, D3XP and Lost Mission
* Lots of bugfixes etc

there certainly are several factors, and many of them have to do with control, fear (kissing up and kicking down) and the nonsensical idea that *looking* busy is more important than getting things done

Didn't happen on my system when upgrading from 148.0 to 148.0.2 - might be a legit bug happening under whatever circumstance instead of intention?

BTW, I agree that new computers must run prime95 and memtest86 without any errors. Any miscalculation indicates bugs that might under other circumstances also lead to crashes, "it's good enough for gaming" is pure BS

I had a G.Skill DDR4 kit (RipJaws V, 2x16GB) go bad after about 4 years (had crashes, memtest86 confirmed it was the memory). RMA'd it, got a replacement which worked fine at first but broke after 2½ years.. switched to more expensive ECC RAM from Kingston then (thankfully a few months before the prices skyrocketed), no issues since, I hope it remains like that..
So yeah, memory failure is not uncommon at all :-/

Great article!
FWIW: "I have yet to hear concerns raised about events in western Europe or the USA, that they might be considered less safe for certain groups of people." - I forgot which event that was (GHC?), but there were concerns about events being held in Florida, because it's unsafe for LGBTQ (and black?) people
