                                                                                            Flow robi kapitalną robotę w kwestii UX, nowocześnie wygląda i ma wbudowany, działający w 100% lokalnie silnik rekomendacji. Jednak po kilku dniach złapałem się na tym, że i tak rzadko korzystam z podpowiadanych treści.

                                                                                            Ostatecznie wracam do PipePipe. Z punktu widzenia mojego Threat Modelu każda funkcja, z której nie korzystam, to tylko zbędny kod i niepotrzebnie powiększona powierzchnia ataku. PipePipe daje mi dokładnie to, czego potrzebuję, czyli prosty, czysty strumień, brak reklam i wbudowany SponsorBlock.

                                                                                            A jak to wygląda u Was? Zostajecie przy klasykach typu NewPipe/PipePipe, czy dajecie szansę nowym klientom jak Flow?

                                                                                              The reason was that Wendell from Level1Techs really praised this NUC in his latest video. He also highlighted the great Linux support from both Intel and ASUS. I’ve linked the video below.

                                                                                              And unlike many Chinese manufacturers, you can easily find all the drivers on their support pages (both Intel and ASUS)—including those for Linux! Plus, the download servers are fast, unlike with the Chinese manufacturers...

                                                                                              It has 32 GB of RAM, but unfortunately it’s soldered onto the motherboard on this model—though it does offer faster speeds.

                                                                                              I had to buy the NVMe drive separately; I opted for a 1 TB WD Black SN850X. Since I store everything on the NAS, I need virtually no storage space on the computer itself—just enough for the operating system; 256 GB would be more than enough. But a larger NVMe drive means more speed and a longer lifespan.

                                                                                              Other specs: Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, ASRock B390, 2x TB4, 2x 2.5-inch, 4x USB-A 10G, 1x USB-C 10G, 2x HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, two M.2 Gen5/Gen4 slots. It’s a breeze!

                                                                                              So, let’s install Linux on it! (To be on the safe side and to ensure the best possible support, it’ll be Fedora again...)

                                                                                                                                What does ‘mostly’ mean? What does ‘written by’ mean? What percentage of LLM code is allowed, and what percentage isn’t? If someone copies code from ChatGPT and changes the variable names, is that ‘written by’ an LLM or not? Who’s going to check this? A special Codeberg police force? There’s far too much vague wording. They might as well have just written ‘we do not allow projects we personally don't like’ in the ToC.

I understand when projects ban LLM-authored contributions, since it puts a lot of pressure and mental load on the maintainers. But when a git forge dictates what people can host and what they can't host, apart from very broad strokes, like "we don't allow unfree projects" or "we don't allow scam projects", it is concerning.

I understand it, but I don't agree with it, because it's 2026, and if you still think you can just stick your head in the sand and wish for these ugly bad things to go away, well, I have bad news for you.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          To me, this is a perfect recipe to relegate Codeberg to irrelevance. And we are already seeing the beginning of a new exodus.

Whether this is true or not, one thing is sure: folks at Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI etc. are now popping champagne.

Have done so myself. It's an extremely reasonable server, as far as servers go. Codeberg's policy change doesn't bother me. They've left a profoundly generous "out", in that people can install their own instance free. They've even permitted the ability to fork. Thank you, Codeberg devs and other project contributors. Please don't listen to the ungrateful haters.
