The reasoning about reducing the bus factor makes sense, and (imo) this is better achieved by simply having more people access the service. Sharing credentials is orthogonal to this and probably dangerous. If org-specific credentials leak or are compromised, everyone needs to get new credentials. With member-specific credentials, just that one token

If a prefix needs to be used, I agree to keep the existing "~". It's ugly but at least it's consistent. By the way, I never understood (or just forgot) the reasoning behind that prefix for Sourcehut usernames.

May I add Namecheap to the list? Been using that since a couple of years, (almost) never a hiccup, never shady rumours or weird acting AFAICT

My personal opinion is that "not cutting jobs" shouldn't be considered a distinctive point for Sourcehut (or for other tech companies. Or for ANY company for that matter!). I think too many factors make Sourcehut (the company) different from other tech companies, starting from the business model and practices (f.e. tech companies that hire fast and in bulk, also fire people at the same speed) to the funding (not VC backed but focused on organic growth).

Hello, I'd like a piece of advice. Some members of this and another mailing list on sr.ht have no DKIM record configured (i.e. no TXT record on "dkim._domainkey.$DOMAIN.tld") so my mail server (rspamd, actually) bounces back their emails. Because of this, it occurred to me that another mailing (not on sr.ht) blocked my subscription because my mail server is bouncing back "too many emails", so I had to manually confirm again my subscription. I have a list of the offending domains without DKIM and am thinking to

Sourcehut offers something similar but a bit more barebone: 'git push' returns a URL that the user can copy on the browser and create a new repo - if you remember how to build the string "git@git.sr.ht:~user/new-repo".

Interesting discussion! I'll chime and mention ungleich.ch - the only hosting I know that promises actual 0% carbon footprint: their servers are passive cooled (allowing adequate space and ventilation between racks) and use 100% renewable energy (solar + hydro power). https://ungleich.ch/u/projects/data-center-light (I have no connection with them)

It would be just useful+interesting to know which pages are most visited, even without IP addresses or timestamps if we really want anonymized data. There /is/ a way to have ethical, non-spyware non-invasive analytics but unfortunately any proposal fall on deaf ears.
