Looking to leave GitHub?
Try Codeberg — it's Git, but based in Germany (Europe), without all of Microsoft's nonsense. They're also on the Fediverse: @Codeberg.
But wait — it gets better!
Codeberg is open source, and you can even host your own instance. The software is called Forgejo, built by the same folks behind Codeberg, and they're on the Fediverse too: @forgejo.

Git celebrating its 20th anniversary
Ideas for building on Git's concepts and capabilities
This month, Git is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, this version control system has become the de facto standard for software version management and development. Furthermore, Git forms the foundation of major platforms such as GitHub and GitLab, supporting tens of millions of users from all over the world. Currently 95 percent of all developers use Git as their primary version control system.
After taking a brief look at the origins of Git and what has been accomplished in software version management over the past 20 years, this article highlights several adjacent domains where Git's versioning concepts can be or already have been successfully applied. In addition we present various ideas for extending Git's capabilities and usefulness in significant ways.
Installing the Stable Diffusion v1 model and Hugging Face's Diffusers library on a Fedora workstation
Diffusers is an open-source Python library provided by Hugging Face (a US company). The library allows you to easily use various pre-trained diffusion models.
In this article we describe how to install the Stable Diffusion model and the Diffusers library on a Fedora (36) Linux workstation.
Adding NoAI and NoImageAI robots meta tags to your Joomla 4 website
As well as blocking CCBot and GPTBot using robots.txt
In reaction to robots freely crawling the web and incorporating every valuable asset they find into (closed) AI models, creatives (platforms) have introduced new robots meta tags to denote that they do not want their content to be worked into these models.
One reason is that creators consider "incorporating into an AI model" in itself as an infringement of their copyright. Another reason is that AI models are known to sometimes be able to produce (clearly) recognizable parts of the original works, which then become part of work produced by users of the AI model.
In this article we show how you can add the 'robots noai' and 'robots noimageai' meta tags (invented by DeviantArt) to your Joomla 4 website.
We also show you how to stop OpenAI's web crawler from processing (parts of) your site, using the robots.txt file.

Programming in R: adjusting USD prices for inflation
Unfortunately, adjusting daily USD prices for inflation in R is not as straightforward as one might hope. It requires the download of the monthly Consumer Price Index statistics (CPI) from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) using the blscrapeR library. And then some fiddling with the dates before the inflation factors can be merged into the price table.

Deploying PeerTube on RHEL / CentOS / AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux using podman-compose
Three years ago I installed PeerTube for the first time on my CentOS 8 server (now CentOS 8 Stream). Red Hat frustrated the installation of Docker on this system, so I had to use podman and podman-compose instead.
Over the years podman and podman-compose evolved and the existing install deteriorated, resulting in a PeerTube server that had issues starting up using podman-compose due to a new network setup and PeerTube somehow was no longer offering the administrator functionality. Since I had hardly published any movies, I decided to completely start over with a fresh install.
Even though I did this setup on my (now slightly outdated) CentOS 8 Stream server, the same procedure should work for other and more recent RHEL, CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux systems.
