All our hosted Git repository servers have been updated to today's new 0.122 release of the Git-compatible #gameoftrees version control system.

This update brings fixes and tweaks for the web frontend. In particular, #OpenSSH host key fingerprints are now prominently displayed where it matters, encouraging users to verify host keys instead of trusting them blindly on first use. See the Game of Trees change log for details: https://gameoftrees.org/releases/changes.html#2026-02-10

We anticipate upcoming support for SHA256 object-format Git repositories, hopefully in the next release (as per https://bsd.network/@op/116030524380288866)

By the way, we still have spare room for more hosted VMs. If you want some no-nonsense, community-driven, minimal #git repository and static website hosting in your life then find us at https://gothub.org/

Our service runs #OpenBSD exclusively but no expertise in BSD is required at all to make use of it. Repositories, user accounts, access rules, commit notifications, and web hosting can be managed by editing a plain-text configuration file stored in a Git repository.

I'm proud of how std.Io is shaping up in Zig. It's really comfortable.

At first we were worried that passing around `io` everywhere would feel tedious, but it's turning out to be positively delightful because it offers sync primitives that help you express code exactly how you want it.

A new project status update has been posted on our opencollective page: https://opencollective.com/gothub/updates/web-interface-is-now-enabled-and-we-need-more-subscribers

🎉 Happy 30th Birthday to OpenBSD!

Alongside Linux, it’s the OS that’s had the biggest impact on my professional life; shaping how I think about security, simplicity, and clean design.

For quite some time, our signup bot (ssh [email protected]) was suffering from an unfortunate incident of long-term memory loss.

The root cause of this issue has been analyzed. It has been determined that the problem was (as usual) caused by programmer's negligence. Files which feed the bot with data vital to its operation had been created in an incorrect privilege domain.

In case the bot did refuse your attempts to book a tier in the past, please try again.

The SSH host key you should see and accept has ED25519 fingerprint SHA256:SlhsNLc4ZtasXKUmJeUqHHhUdGttyz+NvnfbhJ1VHnY
