After checking out more options, I think forgejo looks like a good place to start.

Thanks, yes, I’d far rather stick with a familiar and ubiquitous system unless I see a reason to switch. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll keep it in mind.

After looking at that list, I think forgejo or gitea are what I’m looking for. I would prefer to stick with software as open as possible, so forgejo looks like where I’ll start. I love that they’re involved in federation and have a collective governance structure.

Oh, yeah, I meant open-core, not closed-core, but I’m still leery of software where they close off portions to make you want to pay. It gives them an incentive to make the open part of it worse.

Okay, maybe it won’t be my first port of call then.

Okay, thanks for the heads up.

A quick search found this: https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracKanbanBoardMacro

Looks like there are others too, I’ll play around and see what works for me.

Okay, I wasn’t able to review your links before so I just focussed on answering your question.

Trac looks the most promising of everything I’ve seen so far, I like that it’s minimal and also does basically everything I’m looking for in one place. I’ll give it a try first.

Thanks so much!

Okay, I’m looking into that, thanks. The open-core model is a little concerning for me - one of the things I hate about the proprietary stuff is all the gatekeeping you have to deal with, but if the other possibilities don’t pan out I’ll consider it.

Oh good question. I’m using it for personal software development, tracking new features, bugs and documenting my research.

I mostly use the kanban board view. I’ve wanted to add Confluence documentation pages but didn’t want to pay.

I’ll also be developing hardware soon.

Yup, no worries, i just appreciate the way he does things and wanted to share the info :)

Just fyi, Randall who makes xkcd has a very permissive approach and offers hotlinks on the site for easy embedding. I think he prefers that you hotlink rather than reupload.

I really like this idea, and like you point out elsewhere it might be possible to achieve this without prohibitive “river-like” worldgen problems.

I’ve long thought that a big problem with villages & villagers is that Minecraft’s design philosophy has always prized player-supremacy. That is, the player can change any blocks and very few other things can alter them. (creepers are fine; endermen acne can fuck right off)

So the villagers are stuck with the village they were given and cannot help themselves.

If villagers were given the power to dig and build to create the paths they need, repair their buildings and to fight off monsters, they’d be so much more interesting, and players wouldn’t be able to silo them off in little stalls to act as simple vending machines. The player would be forced to respect their autonomy.

I know the villagers already create big lag, but that’s because they’re constantly recalculating their pathfinding. If they made a path, and only recalculated when they bumped into one another or a block on their path was updated, then they wouldn’t need to do that, and they could have more complex behaviours. Also as a bonus this would fix a lot of mob lag.

It would be a lot easier if the villages spawned on reasonable terrain as well.

I keep seeing people talk about Rust, and to be honest I never thought much about it because I’ve never had a reason to use it.

But when so many people in a programmer meme sub are saying “actually no joke Rust is amazing” that makes me pay attention.

So I looked into it and found this: https://github.blog/2023-08-30-why-rust-is-the-most-admired-language-among-developers/

“de_ml” implies pushing against ml

So you can understand then why posts about the crimes of British and US imperialism are off-topic there, right?

Like, I don’t expect much here, but you’ve given me this little hint that you could in theory understand if you wanted to. I don’t think you do though, do you?

You said they pinned “fuck tankies” to the sub. (Not an instance btw)

You know the sub is called “de_ml”

You obviously know what it’s about, that’s part of your point, that it’s an anti-tankie sub. But then you want to have it both ways.

Who are you trying to fool?

Holy shit, you’re still pretending you’re not a tankie. Not a tankie, but you chose the name volodya ilich, which is a deep cut about Lenin’s childhood nickname.

And you’re still pretending you don’t understand what was wrong with your posts. Who are you saying this for? Do you actually think anyone believes you? Is this an elaborate troll? I wish I knew but this is beyond parody. If you are doing parody: you didn’t make it obvious enough. I’m so sorry.

Now you’re conflating tankies with anticapitalism in general, another classic tankie trope. You don’t have a monopoly on the concept, although you love to pretend you do because the only way your ideas could have any legitimacy is if it is literally a binary choice between neoliberal capitalism and what amounts to state capitalism. Just like in your mind it’s a binary choice between US imperialism and red imperialism.

No thanks, I’ll take my actual anticapitalism and anti-imperialism instead of a red flag any day.

You don’t seem to have much self-awareness about this, so I’ll just repeat it: you are not convincing anyone. Let it go. Take the L. I’m sure any attempt to rebutt this will just be you showing your butt all over again. I doubt you’ll listen to this because myopic, tone-deaf self-righteousness seems to be another tankie trait, but at least I tried.

Okay, that’s not how this works, but you seem to be incapable of following the most basic line of reasoning. This wasn’t you defending an argument, it was you mentally shitting the bed. I think I’m done here. Have a great life. Or I guess have a shitty life, since your generation has it objectively worse than everyone else.

They were the most upvoted posts in the community, so no, they weren’t disagreed at all.

I just want to point out that you have said in another comment that they were the first posts, so it’s not exactly surprising that they were the most upvoted at least at one point in time.

Beyond that this is such transparent concern trolling and your posts were so obviously off topic, and your attempts to feign ignorance so woefully unconvincing that they don’t even bear responses. Anyone who thinks this is a scandal is already a tankie like you, volodya ilich, meaning they can’t see this for the transparent bullshit that it is. That kind of credulity is a requirement for becoming a tankie in the first place.

I cannot imagine anybody being convinced by this.

This doesn’t tell the devastating story I think you were hoping it would tell. Your posts there, while not wrong and not even necessarily disagreed with by the people there, were off topic and obviously just an attempt at whataboutism.

Whilst we’re on the topic of bad faith actors, you seem to be intent on drumming up drama by posting things that you know are off topic, that you know are likely to get you removed and then cry foul about it here. Yes, the term “commie” as a synonym for tankie is wrong and a little concerning, but you’re not making a strong case here.

Maybe they are some shitbag centrist, who knows. That doesn’t change the fact that the tankie instances are doing tankie things completely consistent with the behaviour of tankie mods which are notorious to anyone with experience of them either here, on reddit or elsewhere.
