    Hey, thanks for the feedback! We try to follow as much as possible the RGPD, do you have some insight on the topic for us?

      ...that was the feedback, and "this is probably legal" isn't relevant (assuming it's true).

      Here's a very straightforward visual example of good vs bad: https://noyb.eu/en/project/cookie-banners https://noyb.eu/en/project/cookie-banners (it's the first header image showing an arrow from the bad to the good)

        Thank's a lot, that is really helpful!

Hmm, the general idea seems to be nice, at least for inspiration... Just checked the .net job and am wondering why it doesn't use the official images by Microsoft? For me it looks more like another source to adapt from :-)

  I don't know for sure, but i assume like all microsoft software their docker images are full of trackers?

    Besides the fact that this comment is unfounded, I'd reckon that's better than making yourself vulnerable to a supply chain attack?

      > Besides the fact that this comment is unfounded How so? Windows is well-known for a long time now to be a universal backdoor (which you agree to in the ToS) and that's why "windows debloater" scripts are more popular than ever. On the app level, VSCodium has plenty of threads on this very site discussing how outrageous it is that the official VSCode is distributed with trackers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19650109 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19650109 > I'd reckon that's better than making yourself vulnerable to a supply chain attack? I don't understand. Why would anyone else be more susceptible to supply chain attacks than Microsoft? If anything, being a big org with many departments is a bigger attack surface, while having so many users is a strong incentive to get hacked.

  It’s also .NET Core 3.1…

"Discord community" is there no hope left for decent communication anymore? Even awful PHP forums from the 2000s would be a step up from this. The project seems great, I was a bit down after understanding that this was a gitlab-ci only venture (as I am currently searching for a simple and working CI/CD decoupled from the repo). But helping reduce the cognitive load needed to write good pipelines is always nice.
- drousch 5y ago
  Yes, for now we are only compatible with GitLab, but we plan to be platform-agnostic in the future!

  > for a simple and working CI/CD In my experience this mostly doesn't exist. For a public open source-only project, sure, you can use a variety of free simple CI/CD solutions. But as soon as you need anything more complicated than "run a public linter on my public code", you need to add plumbing that makes it complicated. I am very interested in making the simplest possible CI method and deployment method, but I've never been able to make or use anything that wasn't complicated. The least-complicated solution I have ever seen is Drone.io, but even that's not all that simple.
  - Jiejeing 5y ago
    Yes, drone.io or woodpecker (to stay on the FOSS side) are simpler than most alternatives, I had some hopes in https://agola.io/ https://agola.io/ but could not finish the tutorials due to random errors, and most other solutions are either a hassle to setup and integrate (buildbot), a vulnerable honeypot (jenkins), or require an existing k8s cluster or even more managed infra. At some point it is easier to install a gitlab omnibus than having to worry about the rest

      Wow! I didn't know about Woodpecker, this is amazing!

Awesome work! Reminds me of awesome-prometheus-rules but with a community behind it. Ignore the luddites that haven’t yet realized that Discord is the rebirth of IRC, it’s a great place to host your community.

    Being able to name differences does not a difference make. You can't self-host Freenode either unless you're fine with a social network of one. Discord has what made IRC actually good, the people. Nerds passionate about random topics getting together to discuss them. If you're the kind of person who has ever read bash.org nostalgically you're missing out because Discord has that energy right now today.
    - smoldesu 5y ago
      I use Discord regularly (and moderate a couple servers), but the experience has never been like IRC in the slightest. They're very much different platforms, and while I won't say that Discord is a bad platform per-se (beats Telegram groups), it certainly isn't the next incarnation of IRC in any sense. A more apt comparison might be calling Discord a fast-paced and immediate Reddit; a centralized service that promotes the illusion of different communities while ultimately serving to extract value from it's users.

"8 people are working on R2Devops!" but none have names or facial features ? https://r2devops.io/team https://r2devops.io/team sorry for mean feedback, but is weird after seeing "transparency" as top value!
- drousch 5y ago
  We putted the LinkedIn link on each profile, but yes, you are right, we should put people faces

    oh i see now thanks .. was not obvious that these images were clickable or had alt-text with name & title
specialist 5y ago
Sorry for being thick, but I expected a juypiter style notebook thing for build scripts, which would be awesome, and I don't quite understand what this is. A curated catalog of HOWTOs for building FOSS projects? Which is good, too, I suppose.
