  • Phoronix has done more benchmarks lately. That's a good thing. It used to be them a lot in earlier years. But it seems to only "see" new releases of software that's controlled by Microsoft (in GitHub), blind spot for the rest.

  • There are poor practices that ENCOURAGE projects to OUTSOURCE to Microsoft or REINFORCE this ludicrous idea you must have GitHub hosting or at least mirror to be visible. Let's destroy this BS notion. It's pure BS. Projects are building reputation not because people do some random search in GitHub.

  • If Techrights (tiny team) can do its own Git hosting, IRC hosting etc. then larger technical projects with dozens of contribs can. They just need some will.

  • When your IRC host is paid over a thousand pounds a year, it has little or no incentive to threaten the hosting over some random person talking about politically-incorrect things. REMEMBER: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE HOSTING. There is, however, HOSTING YOU ARE MORE IN CONTROL OF. Choose the latter.
