Who the fuck still puts stuff on sourceforge?? Every time I have to download something from there I feel like I'm downloading malware. So many ads and purposefully misleading links, serious developers should avoid it like the plague!4
-
I like, that many code hosting sites are shutting down (Google Code, Codeplex). This does not mean those sites are bad.
The ones I like and use are GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket (and most personal ones like Gogs or GitLab CE).
Here is my list of the sites I don't like:
- Sourceforge
- SF
- sf.net
- sourceforge.net8 -
Who the fuck still hosts their shit on SourceForge? Pull the cobweb outta your ass and move to a git-based hoster!5
-
that feel when you finally find software that perfectly fits your needs..... but find the download page is on sourceforge.net, last updated in 2002.

So can someone explain to me what's all the drama around our recent burned out sourceforge-dude? Y'all know you can just, ignore his/her rants/comments right? Unless I'm missing something here, I don't see the big deal. Not the first quirkling we've seen here, not the last. And It's not like he's spamming posts either, seems like a post a day, perfectly ignorable if you don't want to read their walls of text.
Like yeah, the levels of aggression are a "bit" too much but still. Ignorable.35 -
I want to play GTA V on full specs - but computer doesn't have enough juice. Anyone knows the name of the website from where I can download an i7 processor, 5TB of Memory, and 16GB RAM. I have already tried SourceForge. Please post the link below, if you happen to know one.3

Am I the only one that absolutely never waits for SourceForge, or any other download site, to countdown? I always go straight for that “direct download” button.6

I spent about an hour writing my own password generator at work... (And probably my item password safe) because my company doesn't allow using Keepass...
But require super complex passwords... That need to be exactly 8 characters...
And they expect us to somehow think of and remember them... And change it every 6 months....
As a developer, isn't it a given that if we can't have something, we'll just build one ourselves... But one that is lower quality since it is adhoc and with by a single dev... That doesn't have time or the experience of a domain expert...
They also blocked GitHub/Sourceforge so I can't just download from my own repo... And basically need to do it on company time... For better or worse.8 -
How to replace rEFInd bcuz M$ locks linux out of your system if M$ installed first.
-----
This will be long so get your salsa ready.
-----
1. Get your rEFInd from sourceforge
Since we are installing INTO windows, dl the zip.
2. extract to a folder.
2-a-: Install themes if you want any or edit the config if you want/need to, at this stage.
3. open a cmd as Admin and cd to the refind's folder.
4. mount system volume
`mountVol S: /S` will mount it to S:
5. use xcopy to copy as system
`xcopy /E refind-bin-x.xx.x\ S:\EFI\refind`
6tynice: go to System volume and to the refind folder
`S:`
`cd EDI\refind\refind`
7:Set rEFInd as Windows Boot Manager
`bcdedit /set {bootmgr} \EFI\refind\refind\refind_x64.efi`
(It's possible to use ia32 or aa64 for different architectures)
At this point, try plugging a linux thumb drive and restart your computer. Windows Boot Manager should be deactivated and should show refind.
You can use mouse and keyboard to select an OS boot or just set config to start one automatically unless you are holding a "power" button.
rEFInd also offers "fallback" boot for linux, which boots the efi from rEFInd and not from syslinux.4 -
How am I supposed to start learning pentesting / hacking when kali linux is shot down by the devRant community?
Yes, I would rather start with some source that would get me writing code to do it, I just don't know which is it. Maybe sourceforge?5 -
Long time....loooong time since I got on here. That said, I'm just gonna jump on this like everyone else. You know the drill.
MS just bought GitHub. Fucking. GitHub.
I just pulled an all-nighter a day ago to set up a DigitalOcean droplet for the first time. I'm sorry. I just don't trust Microsoft. Look at the Halloween memos and everything they've done. Then they try to (literally) buy trust. It doesn't work like that, at least not for me.
I see people comparing users talking about moving to GitLab to the people who said they were leaving the US after the 2016 elections but never did. That's the difference here - I set up my first GitLab install.
I dislike the thought of the buyout so much that I want to ignore the fact that it's happening. But gotta get through. GitHub could easily take the way of SourceForge and GitLab prevails. -
Finally decided to learn back C++ programming and trying to download CodeBlocks IDE from SourceForge.
SourceForge temporary offline.
Oh well......2 -
Hey guys, I'm just starting to get addicted about coding and stuff, and I do some research, is it possible to make our own mining platform using sourceforge ? I mean, Satoshi must start from something to make Bitcoin right. Anyone ?
