Students or anyone who is the need for a free Linux Laptop?

We as Laptop Revive can provide one free of charge, no background checks. Just a friendly face and some basic agreements on paper and then we hand it over somewhere in the Netherlands.

Sounds like a miracle? No fact is that we already handed out more than 100 of them ! 🙂👍

See https://laptoprevive.nl for the details

@beasts, the unsung Flathub heroes

Someone thought it's a clever idea to register Flathub organization on Codeberg without telling us, so that sure doesn't help with figuring out if we should migrate there in the first place.

Non-exhaustive list of what we're missing from Forgejo to Make Things Happen One Day:

- webhooks events emitted on pipeline status changes: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/9803
- an endpoint to dynamically register new runners: https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/forgejo-actions-feature-requests/issues/78
- be able to schedule specific jobs on specific runners: https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/forgejo-actions-feature-requests/issues/76
- a way to unregister runners: https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/issues/182

(confusingly, some of these seem implemented in the dev releases but not closed)

And then a dozen of duct tapes to actually Do The Thing, either proxying to runs-on.com or replacing it altogether.

Technically, we could switch to Forgejo for DVCS and issue tracking right away, but we would still be using GitHub for CI.

feat: add webhook triggers for actions pipeline status changes (e.g., waiting, in-progress)

Like clockwork, the moment I leave for vacation, Flathub explodes twice. This would have been funny if it weren’t the third February in a row.

have you seen the new program? it's on apt. it's literally on rpm. it's on exe with wine. it's literally on appimage. you can probably find it on aur. dude it's on tar.xz. it's a snap original. it's on flatpak. you can get it on dockerhub. you can go to lxc and download it. log onto ghcr right now. go to pip. dive into cargo. you can chroot it. it's on nix. flathub has it for you. homebrew has it for you.
