"The internet is full of smart people writing beautiful prose about how bad everything is, how it all sucks, how it’s embarrassing to like anything, how anything that appears good is, in fact, secretly bad. I find this confusing and tragic, like watching Olympic high-jumpers catapult themselves into a pit of tarantulas." https://www.experimental-history.com/p/28-slightly-rude-notes-on-writing

We couldn't believe it at first, but one of the most common numbers guessed about the #IPv6 adoption among logged-in users is 42%. We assume that many users took this number as a joke. But in all seriousness: it is correct! (It is exactly 42.0095476% higher than that of our largest competitor #GitHub 😄)

We boosted the first post with that guess, but feel free to browse all the other awesome project recommendations made in this thread, too!

How much of Codeberg's logged-in users are connecting via #IPv6, in percent?

Send your guess as a comment and optionally include a link to your favourite project on Codeberg.

First closest guess will get boosted.

Wir haben für euch nachgemessen: In 2024 wurden in #Berlin gerade mal 20 km #Radwege gebaut. Damit sinkt der Ausbau das dritte Jahr in Folge.

Open Source Hardware Development – A handbook for collaborative product creation

Open source hardware (OSH) involves freely sharing designs online, permitting their use through free/open licences and opening up the product development process to external collaboration. OSH development offers enormous potential for restructuring the social organisation of product creation and reforming traditional industrial practice. At first glance, it seems that these values and practices threaten conventional value-creation models. A company may ask how it can make money while working ‘in the open’; a solo entrepreneur may ask what they stand to gain from opening up their products. However, this mode of participation can harbour benefits to both companies and consumers. To this end, this handbook gives highly practical information on what OSH and OSH development is, how to get started, develop a strategic approach, document systematically, identify the right licence and collaborate with online communities and makerspaces. It taps into 21 case studies to draw rich insights into best practice and dos and don’ts of OSH development. The book addresses a practitioners’ audience of managers, engineers, business owners, makers and researchers who want to know more about the book’s subject which is at the forefront of societal needs and trends.
