It’s from the Eclipse foundation/org, but based on the classic Eclipse IDE platform.

I only looked at Theia when it first came up publicly, not sure how it evolved. It’s similar to VSCode, supports VSCode extensions IIRC, but also does some (technical) things differently.

I categorize it as “VSCode but under the Eclipse foundation and from their own codebase” (rather than a fork or fork+reduce).

For a small exorbitant consulting fee that legitimizes me, I can tell them that.

That’s… an interesting approach.

Maybe Eclipse Theia - landing page talks about AI-native, but it’s a platform and may have alternatives within the ecosystem or download/install choices

Periphery finds unused code in Swift projects

Small indie and hobby projects will be able to use Periphery for free, so too will open-source projects of any size. Larger projects developed by companies with the resources to purchase a license will benefit from a more capable tool. The first phase in this transition is an open beta. Everyone can obtain a free beta license with no restrictions on project size. The open beta doesn’t have an end date yet, but ample notice will be given when that date is determined.

That’s it, all possible questions have been asked! /s

99% is a crazy number for a drop. I guess if you’re big enough can can still survive and 1% is still significant. The trajectory is pretty clear and worrying [for them], though.

/edit:

Stack Overflow recorded 1,442 new questions in July 2026

That’s… very few. 50 a day. Two per hour. For a platform [that was] as big as Stack Overflow.

Now they’re busy reading all of them

Opening a Lemmy instance shows a Local feed by default. From the limited view of instances I know or use, I think showing these shows great variance and content, and it also demonstrates instance focus without any of these “tankie bar” concerns or toxicity level (which I have seen and experienced to a degree, but isn’t necessarily prevalent).

• Beehaw.org
• programming.dev
• feddit.de

I would list dbzer0 and anisocial, but honestly, I don’t like what you see in their default Local view. Memes and an image feed.

I don’t necessarily disagree with there being moderation issues, at times or in some communities or instances. It’s a consequence of the diffuse and open nature of first-come-first-serve and entirely dependent on the people initially creating communities and moderating, if they extend their moderation into a team, and the instance admins’ approach to moderation.

Beehaw is an example of very deliberate moderation intent and action.

I wanted to check my rep, but the website login is down, while the status page shows all operational. lol

This site is currently in read-only mode. We’ll return with full functionality soon. Visit our status page or search our recent meta posts on the topic for more info.

When will this be part of the packaged default? :)

I have no explanation for the March thing.

an easter surprise? 🤔

Looks like StatusGator mentions “Codeberg reported an issue on their status page” multiple times, but links neither to the status page nor the reported incident? That seems… lacking.

Performance degradation for unauthenticated traffic

We’re facing severe traffic spikes for unauthenticated traffic, impacting performance and availability. Our primary goal is to avoid interruptions for authenticated users of Codeberg.org.

Unrelated, the Mastodon instance used by the Codeberg.org status account is currently unavailable.

Sophos VPN is a rebrand of OpenVPN. How many of those are simple branding reusing existing VPN client infrastructure?

If it’s only about branding, it’s pretty obvious to me why they do it. I doubt they [all] rewrite entire clients without a need?

Keyboard is a central part of my workflows and input, but CLI only narrowly.

I regularly fire up Nushell, and occasionally use specific or dedicated tools (git, edit, …), but generally, no, relatively to other usage, I wouldn’t say I leverage CLI tools much, although that’s subjective and relative. I wouldn’t call it unusual either, though. Relatively common, actually.

I certainly have no problem firing up a shell and using Shell, CLI, or TUI, and if a tool or util is good or important enough, I will do so and use them when I need or want to use them for (specific) things or work.

From the linked webpage readme:

2.1 Classify. Each file is labelled permissive (at least one permissive license detected, no conflicting non-permissive license), no_license (no licenses detected, or only non-license legal texts such as CLAs), or non_permissive. The permissive allowlist follows the Blue Oak Council list plus licenses categorized as Permissive or Public Domain by ScanCode. Files classified as non_permissive are excluded from both released datasets.

From https://www.bigcode-project.org/docs/about/the-stack/:

v1.1: The three copyleft licenses (MPL/EPL/LGPL) were excluded and the list of permissive licenses extended to 193 licenses in total. The list of programming languages was increased from 30 to 358 languages. Also opt-out request submitted by 15.11.2022 were excluded from this ersion of the dataset. The resulting near-deduplicated dataset is 6TB in size.

So MPL/EPL/LGPL are already not part of the dataset.

So… why were they in there? Was this added for v1.1?

“one permissive license” - So if my project includes a lib and I include the license file for that for the license notice…?

with a Markdown list with all your repositories you want removed.

The repo readme linked FAQ says

You can choose to request either (1) all repos, or (2) you can specify select repos that you own to be removed.

so “all of them” should be acceptable

Noteworthy: They crawled only the default branch HEAD and inlined all source content.

• The file contents are included inline. The decoded UTF-8 source text is embedded directly in the dataset, so it is fully self-contained — you can start training the moment the download finishes.
• It reflects the state of GitHub in August 2025. The corpus is a direct crawl of GitHub repositories at their default-branch HEAD, capturing roughly two additional years of open-source code compared to The Stack v2.

We want to give developers agency over their source code by letting them decide whether or not it should be used to develop and evaluate machine learning models.

crawled directly from GitHub and built to pre-train code LLMs with full-repository context

Repositories that opted out are removed from the dataset before each patch release.

“agency”

Which AI company will not use v1 which has all of the data but will use later patch releases instead which have less data?

It’s somewhat long for two policy changes, but a very well-written, wide assessment. It lays out good reasons for the [further restricting] changes.
