Do you have a pointer of what those early commit are? Currently looking into this from Forgejo's side. It's very possible that the counting function is missing a edge-case.
Having followed your posts about git, repo stats etc over the years, I'm sure you will be a positive boost highlighting things that can make and even better.
The use of AI is becoming common place at work, in school, and at home. The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is currently conducting the survey "Exploring Artificial Intelligence Use by People With and Without Disabilities." Complete the survey and share how you use AI: afb.org/research-and-initiativ…
A note of caution. If you begin to complete the survey, and select that you do not live in the United States, you receive a statement to say that you "Do not qualify for this particular study". As someone who uses AI extensively and daily, and who has almost delivered 12 hours of highly concentrated training on the subject of AI to blind people, I think I have a great deal to contribute. They could learn a great deal from me. But if they're not interested, then, so be it.
@brian_hartgen Sorry, but those regional restrictions are absolutely disgusting. Netflix and such services justify them with copyright laws, but what could justify it here?
@menelion Someone suggested it was about funding being restricted to US citizens. If that is really true, all they need to do is be upfront and honest; say so from the outset as an opening statement.
@menelion @brian_hartgen And I would say something that would reveal you in the midst of the commercial war. The states are not the only one who has AI. Rise up, China and the UE!
@luiscarlosgonzalez @menelion @brian_hartgen We understand the frustration that the survey not being made available to those outside the US. This is not a survey that we are conducting or have any input in, however, we thought it was interesting so we shared it. If you have feedback on using AI in work, school, at home, we would love to hear it. You can share it here or with our training team at Training@Vispero.com.
You can store a decade of email for a million people—call it 10-20Gb each—in a 10-20Pb storage array that costs under £1M per year (and is constantly getting cheaper). 10 year old emails are *cold* storage: drives not even spinning most of the time: you only really need 5-10% of it available on demand.

Just moved al my #git repos from #GitHub to my own #Forgejo instance. I did complete setup with #sso (single sign on) using #KeyCloak and with in-docker runner.
Up until today's morning I was going to install gitlab, but I was persuaded by being presented as lightweight, fully selfhostable, 100% open and with federating features on the way.
I'm also tempted to selfhost, but I think I'm going to stay with @Codeberg. For personal repos Forgejo is more than enough. I actually really like it: simple, clean and 100% open source.
@tosbourn very straightforward. I am running it using docker-compose, same as all my other selfhosted services. The only issue was smtp connection as I provided wrong PROTOCOL property value (starttls instead smtp+starttls). But even this was solved by a 10min web search. It has good config documentation. 👍
remember you only need a forge to share work with a larger team or open source. otherwise just push bare git repos via scp. one less thing to maintain.

Monetary incentive isn't the problem. The problem is offering bounties without requiring submitters paying a protection free: If a bounty is granted, this bounty easily compensates the fee. If the bounty is rejected, the fee is split 80:20 between maintainer who evaluated the submission and platform.
Not much difference for serious submitters. Tiny compensation for maintainers. Huge barrier for fraudsters.
@GossiTheDog I really hope moving off H1 helps reduce headaches, but any high-visibility bug bounty program has the same issues now. Even programs outside major BB platforms are struggling with high volume of lower quality reports (both by humans and AI).
maybe you can create a lower tier of bounty ("hey, curl can access file://, isn't that dangerous somehow?!") where reviewers are a wider circle, but the reward is primarily a t-shirt "I found an exploit in cURL and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" for the submitter and reviewer. And an AI one where, if someone can show *reproducibly* how they can effectively use AI to screen code for weaknesses, they get a good reward (set a false positive threshold to qualify).

you mean MacLuhan? I think he didn't say it in that aphoristic way but Understanding Media (1964) is usually given as the source? I only have MacLuhan second hand so far! I think Buckminster Fuller is somewhat aligned, but it's not attributed to him.

One of my hobbies is to collect information about where curl is used. The following car brands feature devices, infotainment and/or navigation systems that use curl - in one or more of their models.
what could help, public "hall-of-fame" lists for FLOSS with current and historic sponsors? or that would not make a difference for the enterprises when the stuff can be used free or change anyway..
Friends of mine know that I've tried for a long time to get confirmation that curl is used in space. We've believed it to be likely but I've wanted to get a clear confirmation that this is indeed the fact.

Good article but it really hurts to read this as it makes me wonder what else in the article is misleading. We have a co2 sensor not an oxygen sensor. You only get the feeling of suffocating from co2 build up; it's painless for other gases like nitrogen, carbon monoxide, etc. When you pass out you don't get the reflexive breathing either -- those last gasps of death, essentially.

I guess not specific as physical symptoms, but here:
Hyponatremia signs and symptoms may include:
Nausea and vomiting. Headache. Confusion. Loss of energy, drowsiness and fatigue. Restlessness and irritability. Muscle weakness, spasms or cramps. Seizures. Coma.
I think they just "deduplicate" contributors. If I have multiple e-mails assigned to my GitHub account and commit with them, they are all matched to that single account.
I knew they do the deduplicate thing, but not that they just hide everyone without an account. Some AI slob tool that created a bullshit issue, is a "contributor", but an actual author might not be shown at all.
wow I just checked, because I couldn't believe it, this is crazy.

@vick21 @ppatel Lots of fixes - in Word, browse mode, elements list, windows 11. Improved performance in the start menu, support for Windows 11 Voice Access, options to report language & move to more heading levels. Support for NLS Zoomax eReader, new braille & espeak-NG languages, improved Monarch support.
And most importantly, OneCore now reads the version properly! (Please don't make us put out a point release 🤣)
Many new things! Earth shattering? Maybe not, but incremental improvements :)
@ppatel @vick21 Trying to answer "What is great about this new version" is always tricky - yes I can give you the highlights, and where one user will say.... "Meh, there's nothing there I'm interested in", another will pick out one feature as the greatest innovation in computing. Of course there are always other little fixes and improvements which don't make the highlights and will still be appreciated, just for making something slightly more efficient or read something a little better.
@vick21 I know. I was being facetious by the way. Operating system access, for the most part, has become unexciting. Adding efficiency to my daily routine with something like VoiceAccess is exciting to me. I wonder what would happen if you take a historical look at all the new version announcements.
@ppatel @vick21 Oh and that is probably the perfect feature for this - there are some users who would say "I would never use voice access", and other users who would say "I need this every day and am so glad to have it available now" :)
@ppatel @vick21 A bit late to the party... I am the person responsible for introducing Windows 11 Voice Access support to NVDA. In fact, NVDA had Voice Access support long before NVDA 2025.2 became available in August 2025 through a little add-on called Windows App Essentials.
@ppatel No need to be modest! This does sound like an amazing upgrade! BTW, when you say “improved support for Monarch”, what does this mean? Can I use Monarch’s multiline features with NVDA? BTW, I am a VoiceOver user, so just really curious!
@vick21 @ppatel NVDA can already use the full display to show paragraphs of text, though only the CURRENT paragraph. We're still working on the ability to show additional paragraphs on blank lines if the current paragraph doesn't take up the full display.
In 2025.2 what we have added is that "It is now possible to route to any braille cell on the Humanware Monarch multiline braille device, using their point and click action". Here is the original issue with more detail: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/…
Link to issue number:
None.
Summary of the issue:
The Humanware Monarch multiline braille / tactile graphics device is adding support for multiline braille routing in its Braille Terminal.

This is a unique opportunity to break out of your silo and get a fresh perspective on your work. The problems we face today — from AI ethics to sustainable design— are too complex for any one discipline to solve alone.
The context of companies wanting to rip out copyleft from Linux makes the push for Rust rewrites make a lot more sense. techrights.org/n/2025/03/19/Sa…
Well... that's... an interesting way of looking at it. My suspension of disblief cracked around, "I would even learn Rust if it wasn't such a horrible Trojan horse that is clearly designed to destroy computing freedom."
