Yes, the initial syncing and indexing can take a moment. I would recommend joining a single Pub or SSB room [1] to find people and grow your network organically. The large Pubs [2] have a lot of content to download and also follow bots (which you would have to block).

You need to connect with others. I think Manyverse is best used with SSB rooms where you can find others (to connect/follow), see https://github.com/staltz/ssb-room/blob/master/FAQ.md

Alternative is a Pub, but joining a Pub is not so great with Manyverse as it will download a lot of content to your mobile phone.

The Oasis SSB client [1] is a webapp which you open in the browser. Oasis (like nearly all SSB clients) is a JavaScript package which you can install via npm.

I tried it out (see https://twitter.com/try_except_/status/1333499056769937408) and got great support in the Matrix/Riot chat (https://matrix.radicle.community). Definitely looking forward to distributed git changing the developer landscape :-)

I'm curious, did you use Patroni directly on Kubernetes or use Zalando's Postgres Operator [1] (based on Patroni)? [1] https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator

After spending quite a bit of time with the operator early on, along with the KubeDB operator (super easy to use, but definitely not production ready) we settled on some patroni helm charts.

It's a German registered association (e.V.), i.e. it's not only a single company or person behind it. Funding is done by membership fees. As a member you also get insights (regular newsletter) into the financial situation, e.g. how much money is on the bank account.

Yes, I'm actively using Codeberg for my OSS projects (I still have some on GitHub, too), e.g. https://codeberg.org/hjacobs/kube-web-view/

Some functionality is lacking compared to GitHub, but it does what it needs to do for me.

Great post, I will also add it to https://k8s.af (Kubernetes Failure Stories)

True, but at least they now have an API for account creation (AWS Organizations) --- it was really painful in 2015/16 to script (in the browser!) all necessary steps for account creation (add credit card, remove it again [to switch to invoice], etc)

No it doesn't work very well. Because AWS organisation absorb billing as well. We use reseller billing in both AWS and GCP.

In GCP, the projects don't affect the billing. However in AWS, I can't have accounts in one organisation and consolidated billing in another (the reseller Organization).

Its a mess.

It's not mentioned in the post, but PostgreSQL is the prime candidate to replace your MySQL: "The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database". We are happy users of PostgreSQL in Zalando since 2010 (we switched from MySQL). Here some old slide deck (2013) where I briefly "ranted" about MySQL: https://www.slideshare.net/try_except_/goto-2013whyzalandotr...
