Thanks for writing this up, Dan. Whenever this discussion is rolled out again, it's useful to address a few key points. First, open source is defined by the open source definition. This is not contingent on the OSI receiving a trademar

When it stops being okay is when Signal's know-better-than-you/opinions are motivated by their commercial interests, and in conflict with the interests of the users.

We will be adding this soon, it's an acknowledged priority for the beta.

This comes with some caveats: - It's always affordable; if you cannot pay for any reason then you'll be given free service. - Payment is not required to contribute to projects, just to host them. - Paying for SourceHut makes more

I use postmarketOS myself as my daily driver on my PinePhone, and I'm honored to have them consider SourceHut for their needs. Welcome!

The API limits are not documented yet, like many other things, due to the early launch. For now I'll just say "be good". Don't hit it with a battering ram.

I intend to at least support other search engines by adding !bangs for them and recommending them in the UI if you didn't find the results you're looking for. I don't think that crawling is something that is easily distribute

Here's the current list: https://paste.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/0cab5e3137c2c2077b5aabf9e2fc8d... It was intended to be larger prior to launch. Here's some other domains I want to index: https://paste.sr.ht

I'm not opposed to indexing GitHub, but the signal to noise ratio on GitHub is poor. Nearly all GitHub repositories are useless, so we'd have to filter most of it out. I think instead I'll have to set it up where people can r

I added cppreference.com now and kicked off a crawl. It'll be a while. The list of domains is pretty small right now -- it was intended to be bigger before the announcement was made. Will also add RFCs and man pages soon. There will (s

Good morning, HN. Please note that SearchHut is not done or in a presentable state right now, and those who were in the know were asked not to share it. Alas. I had planned to announce this next week, after we had more time to build up a bi

This has worked many times. I have personally said "no" several times and many of my colleagues have as well -- and none of us were fired and none of the anti-features were built.

You don't. Internet should be free. For an airport use-case, it should be covered from ticket prices.

The market for software engineers is very good. Many companies can't just cut you loose because you push back against an anti-feature. If they do, you have no shortage of other companies to work for. You can provide flight information

Please don't build anti-features. They only happen because people like you and me agree to implement them. Push back against management. Tell them that you've done the research and it's a nightmare and you shouldn't move

My point is not to suggest that the platform should be making value judgements, but that the user remember that it's not doing so. The authors you trust are ultimately just people, and people are flawed, and the medium exacerbates th

There are some good ideas and some bad ones. Part of our work is to argue against the bad ones. I don't think that the contentious ones are likely to get much traction, but some of the more obvious ones, like account-registration, are

If IRC were designed today, it would probably be with E2EE. But it's not the end of the world that it wasn't, it just limits what use-cases it's appropriate for. Asking about kernel config options in #linux does not really de

To add to this: I think IRC strikes an interesting balance between async and sync conversations -- Schrödinger's synchronization, in a sense. In public conversations, there's no expectation that anyone will be present for anythin

You might like pinging people so they get a notification on their phone, but they might not like being on the other end of your ping :) IRC has been around a lot longer than most of the projects which have sprung up in the same space, and

You're only online on IRC while you're connected to it. When you disconnect your client, your username disappears from the list and you cannot receive private messages or see conversations in IRC channels. One user == one open TCP

They're backed by a member-owned organization, are in good financial standing for the long term, and it is run by good people that I trust. The others may be good as well but I think that Codeberg has really got it nailed.

I haven't been on Mastodon in a while, but when I was, it was far from a ghost town. You see what you federate with, and following or engaging with more people will fill your timeline up more. If you don't use it much, then you wo
