Agreed. I'm kind of lucky that my area is full of elderly machinists so garage sales and estate sales are full of tools like that. Even crappy tools that are right there are better than a good tool somewhere else for me.

I do have a common tools basket too. Some pliers, wrenches, screw drivers, hammer.

Tons of open source projects organize their unfortunately

Forgejo supports GitHub actions and of course git.

The forge metadata though? Like issues and such, are a harder problem to me

I really like meeting up with coworkers and clients every few months, but almost exclusively because wfh makes me so much more productive that going to talk with people AFTER getting stuff done is very valuable.

I never thought I would be able to wfh before honestly I just thought I'd spend my career finding places to hide to work.

Filtered water bottle station? Yes! I don't trust water spouts where stranger put their faces nearby or where wild life has full access too

Right cloud migration to sovereignty to me is SaaS --> PaaS/FossApp --> IaaS/FOSSPaaS/FossApp --> HybridCloud(FOSS IaaS onPrem, shared FOSS PaaS in both) --> MultiCloud

I found open standards were easier to push. You can, as an org, force Office to save as OpenDocument formats. Converting records takes some investment too though, but that one REALLY can show why it matters some times too. There are US laws that require documents be in those formats actually, for gov that is.

That also opens up the fringes/early adoptors to use FOSS apps if they can.

I said it before, but I'll say it again. Every bit of liberation makes the next part easier. Even if it's small.

Chew gum and walk at the same time.

Move to FOSS apps. Move away from proprietary SaaS to FOSS SaaS or even IaaS. Move to open standards (qcow vs vmdk, odt vs docx, etc). Move from proprietary OSs to FOSS ones.

The real limitation is, well budget to invest in administration and software development (which moves costs from OpEx to CapEx), and an "innovation budget" which the most amount of new things an orgs given domain experts can juggle at the same time.

That said if have the orgs move to SaaS Element, half self host, some stragglers bridge teams, outliers bridge XMPP, etc etc. It doesn't matter it helps push the ball forward for all of the teams. If some move LibreOffice, some OnlyOffice, some just start forcing their Microsoft Office systems to save to OpenDocument formats, etc etc

All push the ball, every step liberates them a little more so they can more easily do more!

To me the difference is always, why do you believe this is true. A lot of the bullshit stuff is 1. It's possible 2. They don't like the person it's about, and that's it.

Kind of reminds me of people saying a small mom and pop "failed" because all it did was feed people for 30 years and brought enough money in for them to raise a family.

Like damn, yeah maybe it's not the fucking stone henge but it probably did more for people today then the pile of rocks.

Damn. I though this thread was being hyperbolic but they really wrote it like Intel will, for the first time in their history, making GPUs lmao

Tbh a biohacker I knew turned me onto a group doing DNA based versions of the COVID vaccine early 2020. Their paper gave me a lot of confidence and some foreground before the warp speed vaccines came online.

I was really floored by the antivaxxers I knew. It's was like "no here's how we could make it at home if you really didn't trust the manufactures for some reason". That seemed to kind short circuit a lot of the propaganda they were getting

But it is really funny how many people wanting biohacker stuff are wanting it because they don't understand it and don't trust existing institutions.
