I am having a consistent problem where I am unable to clone everything from this repository into my local machine. Every time I clone using the command line, none of the documentation shows up. only one foleer seems to show up and that appears to be the GitHub folder. Does anyone know what the cause of this could possibly be and how to rectify the issue? https://github.com/buttondown/docs #OpenSource #Git #GitHub #CLI
With the latest #Github outage and #Microsoft stealing all of your data when using #CopilotVision and #Recall, there's enough reason to remind you of my main articles about the #cloud:

With the #GitHub issues it's time to repost your "if you rely on other people's cloud..." piece @publicvoit

So, what is your strategy to leave #Microsoft's platforms? Do you have one?
Some of my actions (so far):
- Deleted #Windows11 permanently and switched to #Bazzite Linux. It's been more than a year now.
- Began migrating off #GitHub to a mix of #SelfHosted #Gitea instance and a cloud #CodeBerg (90% complete)
- Steering others within my circles of control to do the same as best I can, and cancel Games pass, etc.
It's tough at first but it gets easier. Divestment is an important tool. Check the BDS list today.

Anyone else getting these ridiculous repo scraping spikes? A clean checkout of the https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo is ~370MB. Over the past 14 days there were 222k clones (only 117 unique) of this repo which have caused downloads of a whopping ~78TB. WTF!
"Just because a piece of software is #OpenSource it does not mean the software is secure." --me
I've been saying that for years and it really bothers me to hear developers and users alike quip that because a package is open source it automatically means it's more secure than a comparable package that is closed-source.
As EricS. Raymond, one of the people behind open source, said in Linus's Law, "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." If no one is looking, though -- as appears to be the case here — then simply because a codebase is open, it doesn't provide any safety or security at all.https://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-slips-malicious-wiping-command-into-amazons-q-ai-coding-assistant-and-devs-are-worried/
