Where to find the Code-Op

Wow, thanks for the stickies! Love all the activity in this thread. I love our coding comrades!


Hey fellow Hexbearions! I have no idea what I'm doing! However, born out of the conversations in the comments of this little thing I posted the other day, I have created an org on GitHub that I think we can use to share, highlight, and collaborate on code and projects from comrades here and abroad.

  • I know we have several bots that float around this instance, and I've always wondered who maintains them and where their code is hosted. It would be cool to keep a fork of those bots in this org, for example.
  • I've already added a fork of @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net's Emoji repo as another example.
  • The projects don't need to be Hexbear or Lemmy related, either. I've moved my aPC-Json repo into the org just as an example, and intend to use the code written by @invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net to play around with adding ICS files to the repo.
  • We have numerous comrades looking at mainlining some flavor of Linux and bailing on windows, maybe we could create some collaborative documentation that helps onboard the Linux-curious.
  • I've been thinking a lot recently about leftist communication online and building community spaces, which will ultimately intersect with self-hosting. Documenting various tools and providing Docker Compose files to easily get people off and running could be useful.

I don't know a lot about GitHub Orgs, so I should get on that, I guess. That said, I'm open to all suggestions and input on how best to use this space I've created.

Also, I made (what I think is) a neat emblem for the whole thing:

Todos

  • Mirror repos to both GitHub and Codeberg
  • Create process for adding new repos to the mirror process
  • Create a more detailed profile README on GitHub.

Done

spoiler

  • ~~Recover from whatever this sickness is the dang kids gave me from daycare.~~

I kind of want to set up my own domain for personal stuff and learning purposes. I was thinking of using it for a vpn for ssh-ing into my local devices and for hosting git repos and stuff. Maybe a phorge instance or something. It wouldn’t really be for public use so I don’t think I need to worry about high traffic.

I know when hexbear switched domain name services during the recent debacle that people seemed to really like the new one but I forget what it was called. As for server hosting, I guess aws is the obvious choice, but that and azure are the only choices I’m even aware of, so I don’t know if there’s something else out there that’d be better suited to my needs. Actually, do I even need server hosting at all? My friend mentioned that I could configure my router to forward requests on a certain port to one of my devices, so could I set up my own server that way? Wouldn’t that cause issues if the router restarts and I get a new ip address?

Here are the PRs that are created entirely by AI:

Devs are talking to the AI trying to get it to fix some mistakes. It's so cringe.

These comments may seem silly at a glance, like joking about using WebMD instead of going to the doctor. But if this is the kind of unhealthy over-reliance on AI that OpenAI considers "cool," we should all be worried.
