Logged into #GitHub for the first time in years. It immediately asked me to verify my e-mail address (the same one I've had and verified with them years ago). I'm going to have to create another address (a public one) to use, so I can generate new #GPG keys.
Going to have to put something up there for job-hunting purposes. I'll use it as a backup or something, so I've got content there, but whatever I do is not entirely dependent on their goodwill. We all know that we shouldn't willingly give corporations the ability to control us, but I'm hoping to be one of the few that acts on this knowledge. -

@geniusmusing I’ll read the article later, but does this mean that #Microsoft is going to assist in overturning the vastly unjust #DMCA law? I mean, #GitHub is significant to developers, but to the outside world, they’re invisible. But if Microsoft as a whole says “DMCA is unfair, unjust, and hurting copyright and patent dependent industries by enabling cartels like #RIAA and #MPAA to freely trample on smaller, independent content producers and the people who just want to enjoy music and movies”, some of those empty-headed congressionals might listen. -

How to publish #git repos that cannot be republished to #GitHub: http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/how_to_publish_git_repos_that_cannot_be_republished_to_github/ -

I'm not big on #GitHub (even before Microsoft bought them), but my impression of DMCA is that GH did not have any say about closing repositories.
The claims in the DMCA request may have been garbage, but #Microsoft GitHub doesn't get to choose. They have to disable access to those repos or be liable for any further damages the copyright abusing #RIAA claimed. -

Due to an unfixed #GitHub bug, someone was able to use a PR to copy the YTDL repo's contents into the GitHub DMCA repo. https://github.com/github/dmca/tree/416da574
I'm guessing the bug will be fixed within 24 hours. -

For those who are unaware, the #RIAA filed a #DMCA takedown request against #YouTube-DL's #GitHub repo. The claim is that ytdl is primarily used for circumventing copyright enforcement mechanisms. -

I don't know where I found this link, but it's important news: #Apple's main #CUPS repository (on #GitHub) has very few commits since the main dev left late last year. There's a new CUPS fork at OpenPrinting.org

Planning to play with #Kallithea https://kallithea-scm.org/ soon. I’m still very much in favor of #Fossil https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki but I’m not rigid about it (the way many #Git and #Github users are). If either Git or #Mercurial ( #Hg ) https://www.mercurial-scm.org/ are appropriate for the situation, I’ll use them. -

I was on the #Pump.io #Github site yesterday and found a wiki page about servers. Not the usual Pump servers, but servers that provide services that most federated socnets generate from each instance.
For example, RagTag\.io was to provide hashtagging for the network. There were statistics hubs, a firehose, a find-your-friends service, and more. The repositories are still there, mostly without being touched for 6-8 years, but the primary service point (such as ofirehose\.com and ragtag\.io are almost universally gone, replaced by domain squatters and the like). -

Considering placing some minor projects in my long-dormant #Github account. Primarily so that my current hitless streak in the job search will end.
The most recent place sounded pretty ideal. I applied for a remote opening, and #sonTwo applied for an on-site position at the same place. Neither one of us has heard anything since. Yes, I know. #COVID-19 happened and most things are on hold or worse. But there wasn't even an e-mail message "we're currently in a holding pattern until the lockdowns end and our customers get back to work". -

Someone on SSB said they received a phishing message pretending to come from #GitHub. The link actually went to glt-hub\.com. Just so you're aware.
Also, though I have not seen any sign of it, you can expect COVID-19 to be used by scammers.
