Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

the selfhosted subreddit is having a meltdown over a project using too much AI or something, and the lead dev is having a hysterical breakdown by repeatedly censoring and banning people on their discord.


anyone care to guess when claude was discovered?

nothing much interesting on the github so far https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore but plenty of drama in the reddit thread.

developer response here https://ghostarchive.org/archive/hyh9Q

my favourite part is this mongoloid who unironically uses claude to post their take on reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted...m_the_developer_of/oa5nemp/?context=3#oa5nemp

Allegations:
Code sucks and is obviously vibe-coded
Owner runs contributor code through AI to implement them himself
Owner wants to change open license to for-profit license
Owner has already implemented paid features like the iOS app
Hates it when people fork the project, giving him less money and less active users to brag about on his portfolio
Owner's only project on GitHub is this one

In Reddit's defense (I hate to say it), all of the allegations match the vibe coding jeet trying to swindle money and izzat from rich Westerners perfectly. Mobile dev is infested with them. They jump to open source when the initial attempt to monetize a service from the start fails and they turn the into product a loss leader. This also helps them pretend they're experienced developers on their resumes because they created a service with a high number of active users when it's time to apply for a H1B. Self-hosted media libraries are nothing new, Calibre has existed for a long time. Ebook libraries are the easiest to implement - small files, no encoding/decoding or resource management like video streaming servers. The job is just designing a bookshelf UI over an EPUB viewer.

Taking a quick scroll of the owner's Reddit post history, his old GitHub username was 🇮🇳adityachandelgit🇮🇳 and the project was not originally open source. Jeet confirmed, do not redeem BookLore.

Basically my ideal is some kind of mix between man and info that natively supports markdown and has some retard-proof GUI for editing documentation so your average user can help out a project more easily.

Having all of that with the nice UI of old reliable man (or some other gui tool if normies are scared of terminals) would really do a lot for making normalfags capable of owning their computer. Ones that aren't utter goy, but not familiar with a computer, could easily just crack open a high quality manual on any given project and get a hang of a tool with relative ease. Not to say man pages don't have their value, it's just that man pages are by far not the end-all-be-all of software documentation. That and texinfo, as a format, kinda sucks ass to write in.

Like a non-binary .CHM file on Windows? That would be nice.

I'd like to see a day where projects basically just ship entire wikis as documentation (not in the sense of needing a web-browser, but in the sense of being highly detailed).

HTML doesn't need a web browser and it's a better fit for the underlying format at least, in my opinion. An info page needs to be hyperlinked throughout to be useful. Markdown can be transpiled to HTML by whatever you're writing it in.

Speaking of Calibre, that's also developed by a malignant jeet that has a NOTABUG + WONTFIX attitude to rival that of the most soylent Gnome dev. He's also the guy behind the bloatware terminal emulator Kitty, which also seems to have a billion WONTFIX commits & issues scattered all over the place, so use at your own peril. Jeetware is even worse than trannyware, and often by miles.
 
To also ask for a software recommendation, does anyone here use nutrition tracking software? If so, which one? The best, and basically only, one I've found is cronometer. It is pretty good, but not perfect (specifically, I don't like the way custom recipes work). I wanted to try a few others, yet I can't seem to find any.

I like it too, but, it's ultimately pretty useless. The problem with obsidian is that it's an electron app, i.e. bloated niggertrash.

You should never dumb down software so that it can be used by troglodytes. This is exactly how windows was created. GUI is bloated.

To solve this mystery, let me add that it used to be called the Structured English Query Language at first, therefore, simply calling it sequel was a viable way to remove the cumbersomeness of having to spell out a four-letter acronym. Once they removed the English from the name, it suddenly became reduced to a three-consonant abbreviation which made calling it sequel appear weird and unviable.

Somewhat OT, but this reminds me of the story of the acronym SCSI, which was intended to be pronounced "sc-si" like "sexy" but ended up being pronounced "scuzzy" by everyone.

Ebook libraries are relatively easy to implement, but they are largely useless without a ebook database to back them up. Readarr was excellent up until Goodreads blocked access to its API (no doubt because the *arr devs refuse to cache the database and ensure their service doesn't ddos attack every time it refreshes).

I've had luck with Calibre Web Automator, but yeah I can see how they don't really handle problems well. After being updated it somehow bricked it self and not even deleting and re-creating the container fixed it and the github support was less then helpful, and they will mark issues as solved without verifying that the fix worked. After digging through the "solved" issues I found a hint that had me move the calibre database files off of my mergerfs pool and it started working again.

Text files in a directory tree in the filesystem. Use your editor's file browser to open them, for example Vim has a built in file explorer, Netrw, that is perfect for that. Vim itself has built in syntax highlighting by default and so on.

Holy shit, I've heard this name before. I use this guy's terminal, kitty, for TUI IM for its good unicode display and input support. I didn't know it was a pajeet. I don't use it as my main terminal though. I tried urxvt but it was hard to configure and I couldn't figure out how to input emojis. Kitty has a menu for picking unicode characters that shows them on screen, you can even search through them. Maybe there's something in xorg that will do the same thing and I can use urxvt.
 
The only good thing about kitty is the image display protocol which allows the drawing of full-scale images in the terminal. I personally use the st-graphics fork which just implements the graphics protocol into st.
 
TrueNAS Deprecates Public Build Repository and Raises Transparency Concerns

“This repository is no longer actively maintained. The TrueNAS build system previously hosted here has been moved to an internal infrastructure. This transition was necessary to meet new security requirements, including support for Secure Boot and related platform integrity features that require tighter control over the build and signing pipeline. No further updates, pull requests, or issues will be accepted. Existing content is preserved here for historical reference only.”

“That said, the repo is still there. Folks can fork / maintain it. All the open source bits can be built if the community so desires this functionality. But I’d wager 99% of the folks commenting on this thread have never done a build from source before, nor would ever want to? Its a lot of work to do and maintain. Especially since the biggest consumers tend to be overseas forks which contribute nothing back to the overall development effort to create TrueNAS, thats a lot of effort for us to shoulder the burden on for no real gain.”
Click to expand...
Why we did it: We had a growing problem with bad actors forking TrueNAS, selling closed-source commercial derivatives under their own brands, and ignoring GPL and other licensing obligations. No attribution. No contribution back to the project. No support for the community or the engineering effort that built what they’re reselling. Unfortunately, many of these are in regions where we have little to no legal recourse. To address this challenge, we were already planning to take the build scripts internal. With the upcoming refactor of the new Secure Boot feature, along with myriad other changes we wanted to make to the build infrastructure, TrueNAS 27 was a natural time to make this change.

Understanding that reality, it means every feature we add, has a fairly substantial cost to it. In real dollars. Engineers don’t run off of community “Good vibes”, they have families to provide for as well. So it means we have to carefully consider each and every new feature. What does it cost to add. What does it cost to maintain (potentially forever). Then that informs where it sits in the free vs paid scheme of things. With every release we have a pretty healthy mix of free goodies, as well as some more targeted functionality at enterprise customers who pay the bills. Thats how most major open source projects (which aren’t just a labor of love) has always worked, and again TrueNAS is no exception here.

"Oy vey goyim, how DARE you use our open source code..... for FREE? Those dirty fucking Chiggers, oy gevalt, I bet they don't even run Shlomo Boot!" Remember kids, copyright is demonic, and you should never trust anyone for any reason at all. Their greed sickens me. Either roll your own or get rolled by the Red Hat "free" software bandwagon, I suppose.
