subsurface

That makes the decision to not use Codeberg even easier for many. If you are after a sustainable and stable code repository to host your projects then Codeberg disqualified themselves. It goes down regularly as much as GitHub and loses to GitHub on discovery. Now, you can potentially lose your entire account and projects by posting a repo that can have AI with auto-complete. If Linus Torvalds (pro-AI) published his scuba-diving software [0] there, which there is a CLAUDE.md file in the repository, it would get banned. [0] https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface

Linus actually writes C++ code though: https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface/commit/1b16d570a1b6...

fun fact: Linus Torvalds, in addition to being the author of the linux kernel and the git VCS, is also the original author of subsurface, a software for downloading and managing dive logs from scuba diving off your dive computer on a less lighthearted note, if you're interested in coral reefs, i highly recommend the beautiful and heartbreaking film "chasing coral". it follows a group of divers who set out to film a coral bleaching event in real time by designing an underwater timelapse camera. it's a wonderful intersection of technical engineering challenges and ecology that i think would appeal to a lot of HN readers movie: https://www.chasingcoral.com/ subsurface repo: https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface

Linus still authors code, just not on the kernel. He still seems pretty active on https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface and even some recent commits into git.

Linus made 38 commits over the last year and is on 7th place on count of commits over that period: https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/graphs/cont...

I think this shows that everyone can use a side-project :-) I'm not sure how active Linus is on it anymore, but I know and worked with some of his maintainers there. My claim to fame -> https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/pull/1136 https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/pull/1988

It uses CMake, Qt, and is written in C++. GitHub is the official source code upstream (https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface). The licence is GPLv2. This is interesting to me. I don't exactly remember the arguments, for Linux, Linus was always very clearly against C++. He could have also chosen Gtk, and then write the app in C.

and yet here we are in 2019 where linus happily contributes to a C++ codebase (https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface)
