OK. I bet you could trace most of the code back to LibreOffice. AI couldn’t have done this without the countless FOSS projects that already have.

Actually, they seem to have a tls-passtough mode, which would allow me to handle encryption myself

That is a cool idea, but unfortunately, I don’t know anyone, that would be willing to do this. One of my friends has a selfhosted server, but he doesn’t want to pay for stuff like that. He uses everything through a VPN, so he has no running costs.

I did just come up with a pretty good solution though. I looked into Netbird and they actually have tls-passthrough functionality, so I could just run my nginx-reverse proxy locally which handles the certs and encryption and I could be 100% shure, that the company can’t read my traffic.

Yeah, I will maybe look into it, thanks. Allthough, at that point I could also probably trust Pangolin aswell, their stuff is also mostly FOSS

From what I understand from their blogpost, it was mostly about conserving their own resources, because a lot of the vibecoded projects they got were uploading insane amounts of binary releases and wasting resources on CI/CD while having no users or other collaborators.

They wanna reserve more server space for projects, that actually productively use it, like bigger FOSS projects with actual users and contributors.

That is perfectly understandable for me, even without taking my huge distaste for AI into consideration. Anyone that thinks, that this small, community funded project is obligated to host their huge slop repos semms pretty entitled to me.

What do you mean? They are perfectly in their right to enforce this rule, even if they couldn’t prove that their reasoning made sense. They are not obligated to host your slop
