  • Gitea is managed by a for profit which is now offering a hosting service. That alone is already a conflict of interest because one of Giteas core features is the easy self hosting.

    Then the contribution guidelines have been made stricter, anyone contributing now has to give up their copyright to the gitea management, meaning they could change the opensource license to a stricter one down the line without requiring community consent.

    The concern is that as time passes features will be locked behind a premium tier for self-hosters or the self-hosting itself will be made more difficult in an effort to push their cloud service.











  • Hopefully helpful:

    you need the following packages for kde-unstable:

    • plasma-activities
    • plasma-activities-stats
    • libplasma

    Your Update likely removed these from your system breaking plasma6

    The following packages are likely to blame (this list is likely incomplete):

    • kweather (I removed it since I don’t use it)
    • dolphin (as suggested above switching to dolphin-git should help, alternatively installing extra/dolphin will install the plasma 5 version bypassing the dependency problems)
    • kio-extras (same fix as for dolphin)
    • sweeper (see above)

    Edit: if you have terminal access you can try the following (no guarantee it’ll work, I think it should but no guarantees):

    • pacman -Rdd kactivites kactivites-stats plasma-framework
    • pacman -Syudd libplasma plasma-activities plasma-activities-stats

    What I did (switch to plasma 5 versions):

    • pacman -Syudd extra/dolphin extra/sweeper extra/kio-extras extra/kweather

    What you could do (switch to git):

    • $AUR_HELPER -Syu dolphin-git sweeper-git kio-extras-git kweather-git

  • As someone with a beef server: Nope, performance stays unsatisfactory. Redis helps a lot but only if the page is cached which tbh just makes the experience worse if the page isn’t cached

    Edit: I’m using the AIO installer though, as discussed elsewhere in this post that might be the root cause of the poor performance, will check on the weekend by installing nextcloud manually in a fresh vm
