It's a running a fork (codeberg specific) of a fork of gitea called forgejo (https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo) so it's not surprising. The people behind it were a bit miffed at Gitea doing some questionable commercial endeavors in their view and also not dog-fooding Gitea for Gitea.

codeberg

I had a repo with more than a dozen forks banned on GitHub for some unclear TOS violations. Ticket has been sitting for a week plus now, asking for clarification and guidance.

So, it lives in codeberg now. https://codeberg.org/nelsonjchen/op-replay-clipper

For those not in the know, a lot of people used API keys for stuff like Google Maps and stuff.

And they didn't know it was also enabled for Gemini stuff.

Looks like they are looking into writing this up.

I think there are some who would probably argue the opposite about the users of news.ycombinator.com . It's an explanation for the $ in M$.

Ah I should have been more specific and saying normal Tor users.

This is great to hear. I wish the original article was more clear on that instead of a vague "they'll get to it" which has bad connotations.

Are you really not sure? I'm pretty darn sure a lot of "normal" people don't know how to configure their systems to use a SOCKS proxy to use Tor.

I would imagine most users of Tor are using Tor Browser. I am reading there was a responsible disclosure to Mozilla but is it me or did that section leave out when the Tor Project planned to respond or release a fixed Tor Browser? Do they like keep very close or is there a large lag?

Sometimes things aren't documented and sometimes they could be documented wrong.

Oh yeah, I can see why some might freak out about that.

Did that echo the password back on the screen or just asterisks?

That's why I chose to specifically mention production. The developer boxes were to get macOS native stuff going but virtualization was not a priority.

Yeah. It's the first production Mac using an A-chip and is a Mac that has had many things cut out for savings. The question is did Apple feature cut required functionality.

It certainly got Claude paid $27.58 towards the rent.

Maybe the same way Steve Jobs did the no plate thing. Maybe he just keeps cycling them. Might even send them to the labs at Ford for destructive analysis after each one is legally done.

What I mean is that it should ignore permissions on external ext4 by default in Desktops.
