So, there's another pattern of "open-source-gone-enterprise" ending badly, after sourcegraph and others.

Since the December the 3rd, we are on the verge of democracy collapsing, with the insurgents still seating at National Assembly and the Office of the President. Last attempt to 'forgive them' and seek unity failed with this.

SourceGraph has gone one step further than Elastic[^1]/HashiCorp/MongoDB/etc, and even stopped being "open core".

Wow, just wow. Getting the sweet part of open source, and then pretend as if they are still open source (by using non-open-license), then now go completely closed source. Brilliant.

I'm not a fan of SourceHut, in particluar their lack of https git push and Drew DeVault's general aggressiveness (his mastodon (over at cmpwn.com) used to have more rants and trolling but got nuked.)

But I wish them well in response to their news about their recent hardship. My preferences aside, things like DDoS or logistics nightmare is not something anyone should experience.

JsDelivr's 2024-05-02 outage mentioned GlobalPing, and I took a quick look at it.

It looked pretty nice, except after about a week of sporadic tests, most of the probes there seems to be AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, Vultr, and other datacenter network.

They do have an API that responds with a list of all available nodes, so let's do some calculation from this. (The full result made at 2024-05-10T09:19:46Z, and is recorded at P100.)

• datacenter-network: 832
• eyeball-network[^1]: 183
• total nodes: 1015

So, it looks like datacenter network is about 81.97% of the whole nodes, while the eyeball network is 18.03%. I wouldn't really consider 18% of nodes in regular residential/business network to be enough for measuring ordinary users' traffic.

I'm not really a big fan of arc, but I want to preserve 'one idea is one commit' method, and I don't want to install yet another server-side software (I mean, gerrit) and especially not surrender to GitHub/GitLab style of 'one idea is one branch' model, so I'm sort of stuck here with arc.

I find it pretty hilarious to see US people making a fuss about the idea of former presidents standing in a criminal trials -- We've done this before, and we've delivered those criminals justice and sent them to jail. (Albeit wrong decision to pardon them has been made...)

Being an ex-president does not make you immune from your crimes, and it should not be made so.

I'd rather use Forgejo rather than GitLab. Take this for example - the feature GitLab charges for US$348 per year per person [^1] is... whopping free in forgejo.

원래 3번 안 하고 4번만 해서 적용 안 돼서 왜 적용 안 되는지 찾아보던 글.
