    "We moved to GitHub because everyone's already there"

    "We shut down the mailing lists because most of our users prefer to use GitLab in their web browser"

    "We're rewriting in Rust because we don't really have any non-x86_64 users"

    "We're leaving IRC because Discord is more user-friendly"

    What all of these arguments have in common is that they exclude people, centralize infrastructure, and eschew free software for proprietary solutions, all in the name of some ill-defined measure of "progress".

      The EARN IT Act Violates the Constitution
      from Electronic Frontier Foundation
      Since senators introduced the EARN IT Act (S. 3398) in early March, EFF has called attention to the many ways in which the bill would be a disaster for Internet users’ free speech and security. We’ve explained how the EARN IT Act could be used to drastically undermine encryption. Although the bill...

    A word of advice to all the new sysops out there:

    Never

    Ever

    Under any circumstances

    NEVER

    Use a hardware RAID card.

    ALWAYS do it in software.

    Poorly documented git.sr.ht feature: if you push to a git repo that doesn't already exist, it's created for you automatically. I haven't used the web UI to create new git repos in... a year?

    @Wolf480pl I think it would, yeah. But it's harder because the cold turkey approach hurts users in a way more immediate way when abandoining a hosted service than when abandoning an open-source project. The open-source project doesn't go away when the maintainer stops working on it, but the hosted service generally doas. But, the development of community-led moderation and administration leading up to a clean hand-off would work great for admins with the patience to. Maybe I should write a more generalized article on approaches to sustainable volunteer efforts on hosted services...

    @Miaourt @kaniini you have to not fall into the trap of refusing to recognize human falliability. There are fairly obvious triggers which adversely affect your emotional state and ability to be rational, be aware of them when you are rational and plan around them. If you manage your stimuli you can manage your emotions, but you have to acknowledge that the stimuli causes the emotions and at a fundamental level you are not entirely in control.

    @kaniini I disagree, you can budget/plan for this too.

    Also before someone accuses the pot of calling the kettle black

    I was once making similar mistakes with respect to sustainable services, see e.g. MediaCrush & KerbalStuff. Learn from my mistakes, don't make them yourself.
