If you've been meaning to check out #GitHub alternatives, moving to #Radicle has now become a tiny bit easier:

A hosted radicle.garden node means you don't have to worry about running infra yourself to keep your repos accessible. (Though you absolutely still can, if that's your thing!)

Here's a quick getting started guide if you want to try this out:

... and if you have more feature requests, well... now you know whom to reach out to! 😉

The first #HardenedBSD patch submitted "the #Radicle way" made by not-me has been worked out!

It takes time to learn how inter-node syncing works, and how sometimes things can go stale between nodes.

Thus, this is the first real to-be-reviewed patch to our ports tree as submitted via the Radicle network:

So #radicle have started with essential networking traversal (like Tor and I2P), and once it actually works, they might tackle rare edge-cases like someone who's behind a NAT.

People can already do 'git pull' across a NAT or over tor. It feels like someone advertising their new trousers by saying 'one day it may have pockets'.

I really want to like #Radicle, but so much smells wrong.

- It's been years, but they have no LFS support. Even soft serve has LFS support.
- They hope to one-day support LFS...so people can train 'AI'.
- The training sets for LLMs are famously massive. Radicle will ensure that these sets are copied to many nodes.

How many people want to host these massive datasets?

I organize a weekly office hour, for questions about Radicle CI, distributed CI, local-first CI, or related topics, in https://meet.ffmuc.net/radicleciofficehour (Jitsi, only needs browser, mic and webcam optional but helpful).

This week on Wednesday 07:00 UTC (09 CEST, 10 EST). I don't have any special topic this week.

The one thing I would change with #Radicle: do not echo asterisks with each keypress when prompting for passphrase. Disable terminal echo during this phase.

I am currently in the process of migrating all my Git repositories from #sourcehut to the fantastic #radicle network. Now all I need is a CI platform 😬 Several repositories can already be found on my seed node: https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.this-is-fine.io.

I have managed to get my Talos-based GitOps infrastructure repository into a (almost) publishable state. Beside the declarative setup, some primary features are the integration of an AI-Agent for Ops 🙈 and a Headscale-backed Cilium Cluster Mesh and -Gateway. Have a look at the code, but note this is a living repository - things may break: https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.this-is-fine.io/rad:z6MQ7ck2rSh7h4qEgbRYg3ftnrGv. #radicle #zeroclaw #fluxcd #talos #gitops

One wonderful thing about migrating from #GitLab to #Radicle is that we got rid of our one and only #Linux VM. The #HardenedBSD dev/build infrastructure now runs 100% on HardenedBSD (rather than 99% 🙂).

Edit[0]: Clarified that it's the dev/build infrastructure that's 100% HardenedBSD. We do have one off-site backup system (maintained by a trusted third party) running OpenBSD.
