i think you don't know what decentralized means
You're conflating git with git forges. Most popular forges use a centralized model. Git was built as distributed from the start and it's original mode of collaboration was through a federated protocol.

Oh wow, I can't believe this isn't getting any more attention, I had to search this up here to find it.
Is there any penalty for doing something like this or is it permitted by the license?
Also, you should link to xcancel.com instead of x.com, it's way better for users without an account.
Apache doesn't enforce copyleft, so the Pear authors can license whatever changes they made to Continue with any license they want.
What isn't ok is to change the license of the existing code. They seemed to have corrected this since[0]. I think it's very hard to argue they didn't comply with the Apache license in this case, especially since the license is technically included in the forked git history.
On the surface this just seems like it was a naive and sincere mistake. I doubt that the Pear people were trying something nasty.
It also seems one of the founders has a fairly popular YouTube channel, so he's probably aware that this sort of nothingburger drama is great for business if handled competently.

We do. The infrastructure is obviously open-source as well.
Ansible role for gitlab: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/tree...
Gitlab playbook: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/blob...
I guess it makes sense but still, brave to be running all the infra on Arch ;)
This is really clean! I'll definitely be using it as a reference for IaC done right. Congrats on the migration.

Yesterday, I first heard of the screwed-o-meter:
https://rachelbythebay.com/fun/som/
Plugging in for GitHub gets a score of about 90%. GitLab is in the mid 30%'s. (Assuming Arch is keeping a backup mirror of the bugtracker, etc on a private instance somewhere.)
That seems good enough to not bother with actually hosting it yourself. I'd rather they spend volunteer time on stuff other than applying security patches to a giant beast of a web service.
They're using Gitlab CE. I assume the whole thing is running on their own servers.
No not really any reason. Docker has a bit of overhead but greatly simplifies most of the things the author is doing manually with his self-described “better than the vast majority of off the shelf solutions” software.
How is setting up a Dockerfile and then a docker-compose file any simpler than just writing a unit file?
This seems like a perfect application of the init system.

Can I ask what you use LXD for?
I use it a lot for personal homelab infrastructure. I find it feels a lot more natural than single process containers for the workloads I use (torrent clients, game servers, plex...). I've unfortunately never used it for production workloads, and likely never will after recent news.
I also find lxc system containers better than OCI style immutable containers for dev environments for my personal projects, and LXD is the best way to manage them AFAIK.

LXD is great tech and a pleasure to work with. This blows. Hopefully an actually open alternative pops up.
Canonical's general bad attitude towards FOSS is just appalling.

SLUB is a nice story of a simpler implementation winning out, even when SLAB may have been more technically sophisticated.
trufas commented on Red Hat cutting back RHEL source availability lwn.net/Articles/935592/... · Posted by u/0xdeafbeef
RedHat spends a lot of time back-porting security updates to older software (e.g. RHEL7). Stream is always only the latest RHEL version, I believe.
The whole point of RHEL is the long term support (the back-porting), which is what they're going to stop publishing.
CentOS 7 is supported and will be EOL at the same time as RHEL 7.
Stream does have major versions so you can continue to use CentOS Stream 8 and get backports. You only lose anything if you're tied to some minor version of EL for some reason.
