Today has been a good day for discovering #OpenSource resources.
First, a fedizen turned me on to @radicle and I happen to be looking into various options for migrating off #GitHub . The resistance to #llm scraping is a bonus.
Thanks to #radicle , I got reacquainted with @zulip . It's not yet in my stable of community apps, and I have been hoping for an excuse to use it more regularly.
So far #zulip exceeds expectations as an upgrade from #Slack , IMHO.

@Gray Was the repo set up with just a single delegate?

Generally speaking, in cryptography (that #radicle relies on), it's pretty destructive to lose a private key and there isn't a way to recover from that.

It is recommended to set up repos with at least 3 delegates (2 delegates have the problem that if one key is lost, you can't reach quorum for further changes to the repository identity).

You might want to join radicle.zulipchat.com and the #support channel there for more details.

Current status: Setting up an internal test #Radicle network. I'd like to see if we can at least provide our own Radicle seed network for the #HardenedBSD src and ports trees.

I don't want to place undue burden on the main Radicle network. At least, not until we confirm that it can handle our larger repos.

@jonathanmatthews I use Radicle, which syncs public repositories with other nodes. This includes issues and patches.

All my Git repositories are in Radicle. My primary laptop has a Radicle node with all the repositories I have. The laptop gets backed up (with rsync) to a USB drive and a server every day.

I also have a public Radicle node, but that only has a subset of the repositories I have on my laptop, so it doesn't need to get backed up. But I back it up daily to my laptop.

Really excited to be starting to focus more and more of my time into building a better home for #OpenSource #Software, on top of @radicle - a peer-to-peer forge !

#GitHub and #Microsoft (or any $megacorp) cannot be trusted as the sole hosts of any #PublicGood, like #OpenSource.

It's time to take back some of that control, before it's too late.

With #Radicle, you can seed projects, like you seed #torrents - ensuring that they stay available, despite corporate agendas.

@simonmic It took 10y to get my friends off of #whatsapp and most are probably not keen on installing yet another messenger. But #simplex surely looks very intriguing.

Same with #radicle now that they've nailed the protocols. I've moved from #gogs / #gitea / #forgejo to plain ssh 2y ago, maintenance had become too much of a burden. It's been great for me but unsurprisingly collaboration has gone down to zero. Maybe this can provide some middle ground? Will definitely try it out this year
