What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.
Gitea is great.

Never heard of Matrix before (as a protocol) what's it's advantage over XMPP?
The only one that sprouts to mind is it is currently more popular and has fancier mobile clients. Besides that, it's slower and more resource intensive.

I assume they’ll be in Airplane mode?
iOS 27 will add Shuttle Mode

So the author doesn't want to cough up the money to buy a VPN but will instead write a custom Tor client that is intentionally weak on anonymity so they can run their own exit node on a VPS they bought. Why not setup Wireguard and use the VPS as a VPN? More power to them, seems like they learned some things and are happy with the results, I just don't get it though.
What difference does it make that it's written in Rust? Why is that so much a selling that it made it into the title?
To entice people who are fluent in said language, or those who are looking for something compiled and performant. If I see a project written in (java|type)script, I know to avoid it.
Am I alone in that I never have had an issue with performance with pre-commit? granted I don't work on projects the size of the Linux kernel, but I haven't had any complaints.

Getting the monthly GitHub outage out of the way early, good work.
A bit late but Santa finally delivered the best gift of all.
Be warned, no license listed.
IMO XMPP is technically superior to Matrix. It "only" needs a cross-platform high-quality, branded app àla Element. There's underlying protocol support for all the features: video/audio calls, group calls, threads and reactions. Maybe missing are custom emoji (I think?) and channel grouping (which is still in the works). And of course all these protocol features work fine with federation.
