It was actually the 3rd plague if you count the black death as the first, Spanish flu as the second and covid as the 3rd

When are people going to start hosting their own git servers ? It can’t seriously be that hard.

I would not have clicked if it had any of those titles. And I do actually agree with the title. We are watching the death of the internet. It will never be again what it was. And what it is now is a clean white washed drip fed version of the expansive and deep knowledge of everything that it once was.

Yes and the answer is you can’t do it in anyway that’s fool proof that won’t eventually result in data loss. Just buy another one and be done with it.

Mount it on a spare PC and share it on the network with samba.

I would be careful if they wanna use zfs though. Fedora can be a bit quick on the kernels meaning a kernel can come out that isn’t supported by zfs. This causes zfs to fail to build the kernel module on the new kernel and so you lose zfs on the next boot.

Almost happened to me tracking debian testing a while back.

I know there is a way to install glibc in alpine. Worked for my admittedly hobbyist use case. I just don’t remember the package name but it’s in there.

They have an ansible script in the docs to set up your own instance. It won’t work 100% with debian 12 but you can get around it by reading the docs for the commands that fail. I have no idea how ansible works but it’s pretty easy to follow the instructions.

You do have to get a domain first though so pick something your gonna like because you can’t change it later.

Think I replied to the wrong comment:/

But obviously no. It’s so you can create your own community with your own rules etc .

I am not important enough to have my own community following but I assume someone will have a use for it

Takes about 10 mins to set up your own IRC server
