Ubunutu for a server in ~2019.

Arch for my workstation Jan 2025

Well just speaking for myself, i use git without a forge for personal stuff because i was already familiar with git and it fits my needs. No need to learn another version control system for some basic projects i throw together

Did you read the article? The author shares their perspective.

For me, Git is quite powerful on its own with version control, diffs, branches, merging, etc. Forges just add a UI for some of these things, and add an issue tracker/ discussion/etc. Forges also add a more modem ui for repo access though git does have its own webserver you can use. I use git without a forge for a number of my personal projects that I'm not sharing with others or not yet sharing

From a user experience its a social media site, like reddit.

And an ELI5 for the technical parts:

• It is decentralized which means that no single company owns the whole thing. Anyone can set up a server.
• it is also federated which means that servers can communicate with each other. I am able to see your post even though my server is programming.dev, your server is floss.social, and you posted on lemmy.ml.

Nope. They are separate security features so you can use them independently or together. LUKS does disk encryption whereas secure boot verifies the digital signatures of boot loaders/kernels

Depends on the programs, but likely statistics if it is a halfway decent program.

• Statistics is harder to learn on your own than the CS needed for data science. So it's better to go statistics and then you can learn the CS parts on your own before doing a data science program.
• There's generally a bigger need for statistical foundation than CS foundation in data science, or at least with the angle for any data science needed for data journalism.

• The OP mentions the "dataset" is composed of maps they created and those works would be copyrightable if they wanted. Additionally the arrangement of the works and composition of the works in the dataset might also be copyrightable.
• licensing extends beyond copyrights and clarifies terms of use to protect both creator and users even when copyrightability might be debatable in some jurisdictions.

Sounds pretty neat. Licensing can be pretty complex but MIT is a pretty much no-frills license that let's them do with your dataset what they want. CC0 (public domain) is similar.

Alternatively you can also use something like CC-BY license which also let's people use it but it requires attribution.

A step beyond that is the CC-BY-SA which is similar but requires anything new created with the data to be licensed under the same license (share alike).

Just depends on what you want to do, and what you want people to do when they use your data. Id recommend MIT, CC0, or the CC-BY-4.0 license since these ensure the most people can use it if that's your goal

I think you need a polkit authentication agent installed and running to prompt you for your password.

Alternatively you can sudo codium path/to/file (assuming you have aliased codium to use your flatpak)

I see that code.forgejo.org currently has version 11.0 deployed which afaik is not released yet, so is that instance just for testing purposes?

Correct, you just don't see the disclaimer if you go straight to code.forgejo.org. if you are on the main forgejo page and click "try it now" you'll see the disclaimer:

"FOR TESTING ONLY, ALL DATA CAN BE WIPED OUT AT ANY TIME"

So to break it down:

• codeberg e.V. - nonprofit democratic organization that owns codeberg.org and forgejo (or at least funds forgejo)
• Codeberg.org a public forge that runs forgejo
• forgejo.org - the forge software that can be self hosted
• code.forgejo.org - test public forge, data can be deleted without notice

Also worth noting there are other public instances of forgejo and codeberg also encourages of alternative libre forges

What is the relationship between Radicle and the Radworks ($RAD) token?

Radicle is a true peer-to-peer protocol. It doesn’t use nor depend on any blockchain or cryptocurrency.

Radworks, the organization that has been financing Radicle is organized around the RAD token which is a governance token on Ethereum.

From the FAQ in case it's relevant to anyone
