> We are introducing a $0.002 per-minute Actions cloud platform charge for all Actions workflows across GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners.

Charging for self-hosted runners is an interesting choice. That's the same cost as their smallest hosted runners [1]

I don't know if you guys do write ups, but cloudflare's write ups on outages is in my eyes the gold standard the entire industry should follow.

When I was at Big Corp, I loved reading the internal postmortems. They were usually very interesting and I learned a lot. It's one of the things I miss about leaving.

A tech company that publishes the postmortems when possible always get a +1 in my eyes, I think it's a sign of good company culture. Cloudflare's are great and I would love to see more from others in the industry.

Eidetica - a decentralized database built in Rust, intended for local-first apps. It's still unstable but I'm progressing relatively rapidly. In the past ~month I have:

- Flown to SF to attend a conference in this niche: https://syncconf.dev/

- Added password based, transparent, end-to-end encryption

- Improved my custom CRDTs

- Added an index to store configs and metadata

- Built support for using sqlite + postgres for Eideticas backend (not pushed yet)

Once I finish the backend work I'll hopefully take a bit of a break though. I'm supposed to be retired.

> Time-Travel Queries: Query historical data at any point in time:

The example here looks like it may be storing the full history of transactions? Is that right? That's a pretty high cost to pay for something that's not touted as a marquee feature.

I'm working on a DB[1] that stores full transaction history but it's so that I can support decentralized synchronization. It's in service of my marquee feature so I need to pay the cost of storing history, but I'm surprised that Stoolap also seems to be doing it for a local embedded database.

I'll die on the proverbial hill that the absolute worst instance of this has always been GIMP, which could have perhaps eaten Adobe's lunch MANY years ago.

It was and perhaps still is, a solid competitor to Photoshop, but any unfamiliar grownup is, quite reasonably, going to never ever ever trust anything to do serious work with a name like that.

Arcuru · 9 days ago

I agree GIMP is a bad name, but is it really a 'solid' competitor to Photoshop? My impression has been that it was never close to being competitive on features. I've only used either of them very briefly so I may be wildly wrong though.

Uh, the "Modified MIT license" here[0] for Devstral 2 doesn't look particularly permissively licensed (or open-source):

> 2. You are not authorized to exercise any rights under this license if the global consolidated monthly revenue of your company (or that of your employer) exceeds $20 million (or its equivalent in another currency) for the preceding month. This restriction in (b) applies to the Model and any derivatives, modifications, or combined works based on it, whether provided by Mistral AI or by a third party.

Personally I really like the normalization of these "Permissively" licensed models that only restrict companies with massive revenues from using them for free.

If you want to use something, and your company makes $240,000,000 in annual revenue, you should probably pay for it.

I'm making an effort to support Open Source projects that I use everyday; much in the way I support creators on YouTube via Patreon with small monthly commitments, so it's a welcome opportunity that GhosTTY has made that easy to accomplish.

Arcuru · 17 days ago

I give a lot of money to the free things I use as well, but even if I used Ghostty I'd struggle to give them any money since the founder is extraordinarily wealthy.

Please fund projects that actually need it, and don't voluntarily gift money to a literal billionaire.

Arcuru commented on Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg ziglang.org/news/migratin... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti

Arcuru · 24 days ago

For a while now I've been dual hosting my projects on both Github and Codeberg and adding a note in the README's [1] explaining the situation. I donate to Codeberg and run my own self-hosted forgejo runners for actions, and maintain much of my testing on both platforms.

I push to Github and then an Action mirrors the code to Codeberg automatically.

I'd fully switch over except practically everybody is on Github and nobody is on Codeberg, and I've had more outages with Codeberg than Github over the past year.

It really feels like there could be some good tooling in this area to make working through multiple Forge's easier and not force things to be centralized so much. Hopefully more projects moving out of Github makes it easier and gets more people contributing elsewhere.

Which is is, vi or emacs?

Arcuru · a month ago

It will be very funny if it's vim, since Bram Moolenaar who created and ran it worked at Google from 2006 to 2021.
