Wow. Do they block VPNs inside your country too?

Anyway, there's openvpn and there's nebula (I think nebula doesn't use wireguard.. do double-check), or you look into things built specifically to hide traffic (keyword: "vpn obfuscation").

No idea if VPN protocols other than wireguard may be blocked too (probably?).
No idea if trying too hard to circumvent government policies may get you added to some list you'd rather not be in.

I really needed more AI propaganda, thanks!

I wish people stopped voting complete morons into power.

Being able to use an LLM turns a layman into a coder no more than being able to use CAD turns them into an engineer.

It's a real pity that LLMs seem to have taken over as the sole topic of discussion in programming communities such as this one. It might be just me, but I find the whole topic barely interesting at all (ie. not more interesting than the discussions about stackoverflow coding we used to have).

It's not FOSS, so I couldn't possibly care less. That said, best of luck to you!

After the inverse defense of Russia from Ukraine aggression (the kind of defense where you invade another country that is aggressing you by opposing your invasion), Putin now issues an inverse declaration of war (the kind of declaration of war where you declare someone else is at war with you). What a total buffoon.

I, for one, am glad they are volunteering as guinea pigs in an experiment to see how long a popular project can survive LLM slop.

And if they harm javascript's popularity in the process and projects start to look elsewhere... that's an added benefit ;-)

...and that's why you need 16GB and a decent CPU to navigate the web

I mean... what country hasn't been threatened by the US this year?

Frankly, I don't see where the whole big deal of this story is.

People who don't like codeberg can just go somewhere else (even back to github) and/or found/support an alternative that better suits their needs.

It's not like the world needs to have one git hosting service to rule them all, it's not like there must be free ones (entitled much?), and it's not like whatever service happens to be the new "cool" one must be neutral as to what they host.

BTW, although to my knowledge their policy is not enforced super-strictly, codeberg has never been neutral in this regard — see 1 and 2

If it's for recruiters, put it on github. That's the one they are most probably familiar with and you want to minimize barriers to access.

For reference, wikipedia says Shein made some 32B USD (ie. 32.000 millions) in 2023.

I'm sure they are concerned about the possiblity of paying Italy's 1.16M fee (or the French 40M one), but... we should really tailor fees to companies' revenues if we want them to matter.

we just purposefully delayed non-priority orders by 5 to 10 minutes to make the Priority ones "feel" faster by comparison

Isn't that how Amazon prime works?

I sometimes add a "tax" to the estimates of unrelated tasks, and use the extra hours to work on tech debt, unbeknown to upper management.

Not particularly ethical on my side, but... I'm the one that gets paged when things break down at night or on weekends, and I don't care that upper management doesn't care about that.

TLDR:

What the author baptizes "do-nothing scripts" are interactive scripts that print out the steps of some procedure one by one and wait for you to confirm each step (eg. "1. do this. press enter when done" "2. do something else. press enter when done" and so forth).

PS:

@OP (if you are the author)

I HATE those sites where popups come up when you are halfway reading something.

What's the idea behind it, besides annoying your users as much as possible?

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that he will raise annexing the West Bank at the next cabinet meeting in response to the the recognitions.

“The recognition by the UK, Canada, and Australia of a ‘Palestinian’ state, as a prize for the murderous Nukhba terrorists, requires immediate countermeasures,” said Ben-Gvir.

I don't even know how to comment this.

I don’t know how to create suspense

I must pretty good at that, since I never know if my code is gonna crash until the very end :D

TLDR:

Current status for 26.04 LTS

We shipped rust-coreutils as the default in Ubuntu 25.10 to maximise real-world testing ahead of the LTS. Based on the audit findings and remediation progress, here is where we stand for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

We have included the latest upstream release 0.8.0 in Ubuntu 26.04, which incorporates the bulk of the security fixes.

cp, mv, and rm continue to be provided by GNU coreutils in 26.04. These utilities have remaining open TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) issues (8 as of Apr 22, 2026) that need to be resolved before we are confident shipping them.

Our plan is to address the remaining issues as soon as possible and target Ubuntu 26.10 with 100% rust-coreutils.

"Europe is selling its soul" would imply that we are getting something in exchange for our soul, which is... debatable at best.

Truth is... we (well, the politicians we voted for) are just generally spineless and much more eager to play against one another that to team up against a common enemy.

Axel Springer says that ad blockers threaten its revenue generation model and frames website execution inside web browsers as a copyright violation.

This is grounded in the assertion that a website’s HTML/CSS is a protected computer program that an ad blocker intervenes in the in-memory execution structures (DOM, CSSOM, rendering tree), this constituting unlawful reproduction and modification.

I wouldn't worry if that's their argument: you can modify whatever copyright-protected work you wish as long as you don't redistribute it, otherwise taking notes in books or using an equalizer when listening to music would be copyright violations. Surely you can do the same with the programs you run on your computer (also regarding computer programs, live patching is a thing).

That said, copyright law has been so absurdly twisted and stretched (suffice to say it was born to protect authors and it now protects megacorporations' profits) that it's worth to keep an eye on this.
