Recommendations? Anyone know software similar to dropcode? (github.com)
 

It is a "snippet manager" although I mainly use it to note down useful pieces of code in case I need some of it for later. Or as a scratchpad.

Recommendations? Anyone know PGP software similar to aliceandbob.io? in c/opensource@programming.dev

mainly the lack of activity(/maintenance) and popularity.

it might be a fine piece of software but i just wish it would be a more proven software so that i can know its robust and reliable

I know this might be more tightly knit to encryption but I do not think it is entirely irrelevant for this community.

Question is in the title.

Do I really need to get heroes of might and magic 3 to use VCMI? (programming.dev)
 

Disclaimer: I really do not mind buying the game actually and it is probably one of the games that really deserve to be bought. This is really just a (maybe stupid) question out of curiosity.

So, I have been interested in homm3 for a while and I recently found out that apparently there is a free and open source rewrite for the game called VCMI.

First I figured since this is a complete rewrite that I can just download and run it to play homm3 but the website did state that apparently you should buy the game to get the game files but is this really how most people go on about this? Are the game files lying around somewhere so you can easily use VCMI? I mean its just assets from what I know..

Or do I just have to buy/pirate the game?

How can open source projects get acquired by third parties? (programming.dev)

today i was reminded of hastebin for some reason.

for context: hastebin.com was a site hosting the open source hastebin software to temporarily store text. it was very simple: you paste your text and then you save it. it could then be shared with anyone.

few years later it got acquired by toptal and the service went to the shitters but i digress..

how can an open source project just be acquired by someone like toptal? i know there tend to be central leaders on open source projects (which can be passed onto others) and hosting services can be costly but i figured due to the nature of open source that it is harder to take over a project..

yes i know forking is an option and that people did do that but still. under the stewardship of toptal from what ive seen the project went quite in the gutters and i havent heard of hastebin in years..

So does that mean trickster is easier to get into?
