@resist_berlin @cypnk I often watch Die Sendung mit der Maus both to practise my German and for the technical/aesthetic quality of the Sachgeschichten - Armin still uses Arriflex 16mm cameras for his segments (especially the slow motion footage), but digital editing (hence no scratches/dust on the film) whereas Christoph uses digital equipment throughout (I noticed this on a behind the scenes doku)..

@deadsuperhero Okay, here's a start. What's missing? https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub#Implementations

@ocdtrekkie Github wiki, gists, user pages are all stored in git repos. Rest isn't. I don't know about the equivilants on Gitlab.

Also, https://github-backup.branchable.com/ pulls all the data into a branch (and backs up all repos you star or fork); I wrote it 6 years ago partly to demonstrate feasibiity, partly to not lose information when the inevitable github backlash happened.

the single most important criteria when replacing Github
https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/the_single_most_important_criteria_when_replacing_Github/

Consider all the data that's used to provide the value-added features on top of git. Issue tracking, wikis, notes in commits, lists of forks, pull requests, access controls, hooks, other configuration, etc.

Is that data stored in a git repository?

#github

If Microsoft truly loves open source, they'd open source #github upon acquisition.

Took a while to get it all sorted, but 94% of my repos are now gone from Github. I'm using this script:
https://notabug.org/notklaatu/sync-up
to mirror some stuff only found on Github with other remotes. Working out pretty well so far.

@wilfredh I remember reading somewhere (Basecamp's Signal v. Noise blog, maybe?) that they used to be profitable in their pre-VC days, back when they were bootstrapped. They raised money, took the high-growth path, and became unprofitable.

@bumi That decision was made when they took the $100M in order to grow like crazy. I'm actually glad about this, because there was a bit of a collective denial about the fact that we build entire OSS ecosystems upon a single startup's proprietary product.

Microsoft owns LinkedIn and Github, so they deliberately acquire spaces that synonymise themselves with aspects of the hiring process? They’re going all in on technological enterprise solutions which is smart honestly
