    @throgh APU boards are great for vpn routers etc but for a server they wouldn't be my first choice. :-)

    Microsoft couldn't give a rats ass for software freedom. They despise people like me. All their ventures into FOSS, including funding the Linux Foundation, are narrowly self-serving. They continue to extort FOSS developers with software patents.

    Microsoft are about as ethical as a drone strike on a wedding party. I've been around in software for a long time, so have seen their manoevrings. They boasted about the extensiveness of their cooperation with the NSA and bugged Skype after they bought it (read the Snowden docs).

    @dchsg Debian mit XFCE, mit dem Textmodus-Installer. Das habe ich so mit ein paar Anfängern gemacht und ein bisschen was dazu erklärt und das wurde erstaunlich gut angenommen. Einer der Anfänger hat seitdem selber auf diese Weise Debian auf weiteren Rechnern installiert.

    Wenn allerdings WLAN im Spiel wäre würde ich evtl. nicht mit Debian anfangen.

    Look and 10 to 20 years ago there was IRC, torrent, forums. UX was shit but content was accessible. Now we are on Slack, Twitter, Netflix and Spotify. I fucking need to use Soulseek or obscure torrenting sites to be able to find content without having to use DRM'ed shit. Slack closed the port from IRC and no one is on XMPP anymore.

    What the fuck happened?

    Ok, so unless Bloomberg are now in the fake news business it's official. Microsoft is buying Github.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-03/microsoft-is-said-to-have-agreed-to-acquire-coding-site-github

    There is no way that any code I wrote will fall under the dominion of Microsoft.

    Therefore in the coming week I'll be moving out of Github. Initially I'll just self-host on Gogs, but I'll also be looking for a secondary host as backup for cases where my own server is down or doesn't have enough bandwidth.

    I'm sure that this will be rough for a lot of projects. Many things currently point to Github. Some will side with Microsoft, believing that they are allies of FOSS or just favoring convenience over disruption. When Microsoft is involved this is always a mistake.

    @tuttle Microsoft will certainly now assure Github users that "nothing will change for you. (At least for now.) Github will stay Github and we will even give you some free goodies. Of course in a few years........." @lnxw48a1

    Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub

    #Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub, and could announce the deal as early as Monday. Bloomberg reports that the software giant has agreed to acquire GitHub, and that the company chose Microsoft partly because of CEO Satya Nadella. Business Insider first reported that Microsoft had been in talks with GitHub recently.

    Mich wundert, dass der Hashtag #deletegithub noch gar nicht in meiner TL aufgetaucht ist. Bin wohl mit den falschen Leuten vernetzt ;-)
