I'm assuming you mean Enterprise Server (non-cloud), because my GitHub Enterprise Cloud is down right now.

I'm working on self hosting Gitea right now. Hopefully it goes well!

I've actually started loving GitHub down days because it means I get to spend time migrating away from them! (moving to self hosted Gitea)

Sounds interesting but I'm just going to do the same thing as you (self host).

I don't think it'd be that special if the licenses allowed it. (Meaning I believe it'd be normal already if it were possible.)

I want to embed the player into standalone video game binaries that don't require internet access to download the restrictively licensed files. I'm not looking to embed music file outputs, I want the music to remain customizable on the fly.

Darn, you're right. Looks like there's still no hope here.

The primary difference to me is that strudel's license is so restrictive that it's impossible to use on anything. This is MIT.

I accomplish this brain offload in the shower. I’ve found some of my best solutions as shower thought.

Never mind. It's happening now! Migrating to self hosted Gitea for work. Super excited!

I seriously want to. I'm just waiting for the day where I have enough extra energy to simply bite the bullet and do it.

How in the world was I supposed to find out that it was a feature announcement without searching new Hacker News posts?

Never in my life has radio in my country played music I wanted to listen to. The first thing I did when I bought my first car was disconnect the antenna entirely.

Wow I actually like it just fine with motion reduced, but it's unbearable with full motion.

My next question is: why? Purely marketing tactics?

That explains why I can never get past Google's captchas! I don't even automate Google searches, I wonder why they don't like me.

I keep trying Codex and it constantly produces terrible output compared to Opus. I don’t understand how my results are so bad?
