 Fay (she/her) | what's the "best practice"/"policy" regarding forks/patches?
there's an fdroid app for which I've proposed a PR upstream that adds a tiny bit of functionality (that allows it to integrate with one of my fdroid apps) which is really useful to me, and I think other fdroid users as well.
but it's been 6 months, and still no response. I could fork it (I'm already running a forked version myself), but having two almost identical versions in the repo seems silly (and I'm not sure if you can export all data, so you'd lose some when switching). | 15:07:14 |

CI boxes aren't really a juicy target the fdroid ones, maybe. but free CI has been abused by cryptominers. | 15:10:26 |

ๅนธ็ซ: I think the main thing is for someone to take ownership of some of those boxes let me know how you want to handle that :) | 15:12:02 |

also, its puts localized apps first That's why I was getting so much localized app on top ๐ฒ | 15:14:42 |

Pretty sure it's more of your wish, there's syncthing-fork with very minimal difference | 15:16:20 |

 Mathijs | In reply to @SylvieLorxu:matrix.org
Oh interesting yeah yeah, we host matrix static on matrix.f-droid.org | 20:20:59 |
| Mathijs | so there's no need to migrate that away from freenode | 20:21:18 |
| Mathijs | (and the whole issue with freenode is also a reason to host an f-droid matrix server, so even if the matrix.org homeserver would get compromised, we'll still be just fine on this fdroid room) | 20:36:12 |
| Mathijs | as far as irc networks go: I have no strong feelings one way or the other | 20:41:05 |
| Mathijs | either OFTC or libera.chat would be fine by me | 20:41:26 |
| * Mathijs mostly wished matrixircd worked well enough ๐ | 20:41:47 |
