Those who remember AUX ports on routers and cabling to CON ports might appreciate Wetatronics design of a SFP that provides an AUX port (or two with a breakout adapter). Connects outbound to a meet me server (cloud or run on-prem) over TLS.
Seems like a clever idea, for a “zero U” console server.
(As announced at #NZNOG lightning talks.)
Sorry bud, I'm not lending you my money at less than 5% interests. Yes, putting money in my bank account counts as a loan. No, you can't charge me for giving YOU money.
(Imagine absolutely everyone saying this)
By the way: You might think "why do you care? Open Source Software is Open Source Software - it does not matter it it's publicly available via GitHub or Codeberg."
Yes, it does.
1) it creates visibility for platforms other than GH
2) it makes users go to Codeberg.org instead of GitHub. This saves them from needing to go to Github, with all the tracking / bullshit involved.
3) it draws users away from GH. If enough people do it, they will maybe focus on the basics again and won't annoy us with AI crap.
4) we need to decentralize. Not hosting all our software on the same M$-powered platform is a necessary part of that.
