has anyone played around with radicale? we're (LDK) getting really tired of github being broken (unicorn/503s all the time) let alone flaky and their apparent increased desire to charge money. it seems something decentralized where things like comments are authenticated would be a big win in terms of removing third-party trust too, but curious if anyone has played with it/thinks its production-ready.

[bitcoin] hebasto opened pull request #34319: Drop some `IWYU pragma: export` and document IWYU usage (master...260116-iwyu-export) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/34319

only real question i have is if they have any kind of ability to moderate comments, if they do (eg if we can just set up some automated "please go to this website and pass a captcha/deposit 10 sats to comment" thing) then istm very worth trying for a few months
<BlueMatt[m]>
otherwise you're gonna get flooded by bots and garbage
<flooded>
you rang?
<BlueMatt[m]>
also i guess whether you can comment/open issues via the web ui or if you have to use the tui

ah you cant allow randos to comment via the web interface, but you can run an instance locally and then comment via the web. bleh so close. nevermind

i know she's been keeping track of radicle for a while
<BlueMatt[m]>
yea, it seems like they've got most of the big pieces in place but are short a few major items (at least the above two) before its really something to switch to.
<BlueMatt[m]>
looks like they have a draft spec for separating users and nodes but first have to do that then you could imagine a webui that is more traditional github-like for those who dont want to do cli tools
<BlueMatt[m]>
so probably using it is blocked on that

<darosior> "i know she's been keeping..." <- there was a time i was actively watching radicle. at the time it was far from usable for any kind of real project with many contributors. it's been a while though
<laanwj>
also they started using some kind of block chain token, which made me mostly lose interest
<laanwj>
they do have a desktop version
<darosior>
oh yikes

according to the faq (searching for "token") https://radicle.xyz/faq they say they only use it for financing development. there were times they wanted to integrate it into the software itself, i'm glad they reconsidered
