A cliché, yes, but true as ever. The only good thing about #GitHub is its massive trove of open-source code. None of it, however, can bury the fact that the GitHub brass has anti-FOSS elements. #SourceForge has long been a joke, and #GitLab is far from perfect, but at least acceptable enough for me to mirror my projects on. Meanwhile, #Codeberg looks like the ultimate destination for anything #FOSS. It's so good, it deserves a link in this post.

Lapioin lumet parvekkeelta. Koko päivä meni Chernobyliä DVD-levyiltä irti kiskoessa. Iltapäivällä leikkasin parran ja kävin suihkussa.

Why do devs still use this incredibly slow #SourceForge to host their #OpenSource software downloads?

@thejpster Linus forged #git to free Linux from greedy Lary.

Git went mainstream.

#GitHub appeared soon before #GitLab and most people started to host their projects there. It was almost like blessing. But both hosted on US soil.

Not many noticed #Assembla before, but it dropped open source.

#SourceForge was spamming, so not cool. There were other less popular forges, from Novell for example.

Then #Microsoft took over GitHub...

There are open-source European forges, but not mixture ones.

So I was gonna try the latest edition of a Distro this morning, and I decided to do a different one because why are the Sourceforge servers so slow?

It was taking longer to DL a 3 gig ISO than it takes me to download Baldur's Gate 3, and that's just baffling. It's also not hyperbole. It was literally going to take 17 minutes extra to download something less than ⅒ the size.

Fake Doom WADs that are actually malware hosted on SourceForge almost got my friend.

Please be careful downloading mods as a streamer!

I just updated my Cookieless Web Counter project after 5 years https://sourceforge.net/projects/cookielesswebcounter/ #freesoftware #sourceforge #webanalytics

After zero-ing out my email inboxes a couple weeks ago, I'm finding it, almost, a bit heartening and nostalgic that I am still getting updates sourceforge.net from software packages that I had subscribed to ages ago.

I guess they had been lost amidst the noise previously.
Shoutout to the net-snmp package! Yo!

Почему эти рептилойды запрещают качать опенсорс из SourceForge через JDownloader?!
🔪🔪🔪
Насколько нужно ненавидеть человечество, чтобы запрещать качать опенсорсную программу весом 300 МБ через ускоритель загрузки, когда из самого SF она очень медленно качается?!
🔥🔥🔥
ОпенСорс, называется...

Habe mir #omarchy #Linux heruntergeladen. Mit 6,2 GB die bislang dickste Distro. Danach sollte noch #MXLinux als #Debian Alternative aufs Notebook wandern, doch brach der Download wegen "Datenträger voll" ab. WAS?!!!? Nicht mit meinen Daten. Das können nur temporäre Dateien von #pacman #pikaur oder sonstwas sein. Damit war mein Geduldsfaden gerissen … "ein Mann sieht rot".

Bin dann Einkaufen gefahren. Sonnenschein und kalte Luft kühlten das Gemüt wieder runter 😎

Nach Aufräumen der Festplatte tröpfelte MXLinux langsam rein. Abgebrochen! Habe noch andere versucht, aber mal ehrlich: ihr könnt euch eure #sourceforge Downloads sonstwo hinstecken 🤬 🤯

Man hat nun also schon bei der Installation mehrere potentielle Malwarequellen: Man mag zum Beispiel die Homepage des Herstellers nicht als solche erkennen, bei ehemals seriösen Quellen wie #Sourceforge oder #Chip gebündelte Quatschsoftware einfangen oder einfach so aus Unaufmerksamkeit Module mitinstallieren, die man gar nicht will.

I just got an email notification of a new comment on a bug report I filed against a FOSS project. It was a maintainer of the project asking which CPU architecture the machine I was using was when I experienced the bug.

I filed the report in 2016.

😆

And, oh yeah, this is on SourceForge. I'd forgotten that still existed! But my account still works.

@AnachronistJohn

What I did today was simple I went on the clonezilla site, checked the alternative download servers then went to one of the FTP servers, listed over there.

wget worked flawlessly, of course

#Clonezilla #programming #OpenSource #POSIX #Disk #imaging #SourceForge #wget #mirror

Regretfully, when I attempted the download of clonezilla again, the browser also got a time-out at the 420MB mark, bringing my total waste of bandwidth to a whopping 50% of my monthly allotted 2GB **

:(

I am fascinated to learn what is going wrong though, because I've never had these problems with sourceforge. I downloaded programs from there for decades. When I have some bandwidth again I will use another mirror, this is probably a mirror-induced error

**(along with other off topic failures)

#Clonezilla #programming #OpenSource #POSIX #Disk #imaging #SourceForge #wget #mirror

Here you can see the failure of sourceforge when you resume a download with wget

#Clonezilla #programming #OpenSource #POSIX #Disk #imaging #SourceForge #wget

Clonezilla is an incredible tool to make images of partitions
If you know Norton Ghost from many decades ago clonezilla is even better

Note to self:
Source Forge doesn't do resume on downloads when wget is invoked. Due to the nature of 4G connections, the throughput when down to zero for 60 seconds. When I resumed, the bits rolled back to 0!

400 MB of precious bandwidth has just been nuked!

@alter_kaker @mhoye this maintainer finds that the vast majority of contributions come from users. Having a #MailingList where users and devs can talk to each other is really useful. That's one thing #Sourceforge got right and I wish #Github would implement it.

From SourceForge to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and AWS CodeCommit — code hosting platforms shaped how we build, share and collaborate.

In my latest recap article in this series I explore their rise, struggles and impact on dev culture.
