Varnish, it's like MySQL, Gitea, ownCloud and OpenOffice?
Well we're all familiar with MariaDB, Forgejo, and LibreOffice, now one group that is likening the creation of those forks by the original development teams is also asking folks (for the sake of understanding) that #Vinyl-cache is the original, unbroken codebase that was once #Varnish, yet furthermore, is also akin to other software such as those others mentioned above both pre and post forking.
https://vinyl-cache.org/organization/on_vinyl_cache_and_varnish_cache.html#our-opinion
Obviously, this could be confusing. Which should you use? which is the original? which is better?
Honestly, this is a matter of philosophy, business, and other matters of choice; but not so much in substance - yet. These two code bases haven't had much time to diverge, but they are, and have been, for a bit now. Both are FOSS. Both (or at least one) claims to be the continuation of a two decades old code base. Here's what's important now, and how you might want to come to your own conclusions as to which one to choose moving forward.
#Sun_Microsystems manufactured some of the most admired and trusted enterprise server hardware platforms. They also created and maintained #Solaris (SunOS), and they scooped up the custodianship for what was once Star Office in the form of #OpenOffice. They also brought Monty's #MySQL into the fold, while VirtualBox was another free offering.
#Sun was acquired by the #Evil_EllisonCo, aka, #Oracle. Immediately, the company was dismantled. Servers rebranded, while the OpenOffice developer team mutinied under the tutelage of Ellison, and then departed forming "The Document Foundation (TDF) in the process - a fork, #LibreOffice resulted.
Monty Widenius, already soured on the state of MySQL's place at the table with Oracle created the fork, MariaDB (Slackware Linux was the first major Linux distro to include MariaDB as the default during installation of the OS).
MySQL had much use for Oracle but Not OpenOffice (aka OOo), and Ellison refused to give the name to the Document Foundation, so it languished in the Apache Incubator, where he had gifted it, for many years.
Another famous new name that is essentially the original team of creators and developers is #NextCloud, and yes, #ownCloud does still exist... somewhere, or so I'm told ;)
When the three people in charge of steering and the custodianship of Gitea Formed a couple of for profit companies and assigned all trade and service marks of the product to those companies, it caused a great stir within the FOSS community (because this was the de facto leading #FOSS version of a code forge especially appropriate to host FOSS projects). A new Fork, #Forgejo was birthed.
So in a nutshell, When the Varnish project bootstrapped a for profit corporation to operate under (even though at this time it's still FOSS), it likewise spawned a fork of itself, and like the others, the defecting developers created the name #Vinyl, and forked Varnish-cache so that it is Vinyl-cache that continues in the tradition of FOSS while it's expected that Varnish-cache will continue to diverge from the direction of the original code base and philosophy.

@jselea Thanks goes out to Jonathan for this (still quite relevant) tidbit. For those of us who spent a lot of time with Sun #Solaris up through Solaris 10 there's a lot to appreciate here.
Solaris has been parted out, but here is an Enterprise production scale incarnation that's worth a looksee and testdrive. It's really a shame that the Evil EllisonCo destroyed so much - just discarded it like trash, following aquisitions, and what they didn't toss out in the trash they dissappointed the developers so much that it spawned forks that exist to fill the vacuum to this day:
- MySQL ==> MariaDB
- OOo ==> LibreOffice (The Document Foundation)
- Sun Enterprise Servers - rebranded as Oracle boxes
- Sun Solaris 10 ==> OpenIndiana and others (OmniOS, for one)
- Sun VirtualBox - Oracle VirtualBoxSo without dwelling on the past or further ado, let's follow Jonathan's tour, shall we?

Oh my! Yes, and some folks even tried to navigate while underway, taking their eyes off the road to flip pages. I think I still have at least one collecting dust on a bookshelf but they were indeed indispensable back when :)
Nowadays I'm trying to wean myself from Google Maps and love this newer application that simplifies what #OSMAnd provides. And it's surprisingly simple.
#CoMaps is available at F-Droid and for iPhone users too HERE. I try to use it about 50% of the time and it doesn't disappoint.

Hey Todd, got you covered, although I wouldn't call it an alternative. It's the whole kitten-kabootle, complete ERP. It's not my bread & butter, but it is my butter, offering it as a managed SaaS solution for many customers serious about their CFO's having the very best to run their companies, including cash or accrual, AR/AP, Inventory, payroll, reporting, multi-national taxation, and any kind of chart of accounts that tickles your fancy.
As an engineer, most of it is beyond my total comprehension and way above my pay grade, not surprising, since I had to get a dedicated girlfriend in college just to pass a required accounting course, but I keep their machines running smoothly and they all tell me how grateful they are for insisting they at least kick the tires and take it around the block, instead of all those proprietary psuedo-alternatives they wanted me to install, some of those clients almost two decades now.
Lemme know how you like it, k?

NOTE: This is a repost from the Fediverse-City Matrix Room.
I meant to post on the progress that @toddsundsted has been making on kristec.
You can also checkout this ambitious project itself at:
https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec
I've been thoroughly impressed with all of the publishing features of his Fediverse server.
Some of the shortcomings, if that's how you choose to view them, might be that it's essentially a smolweb server leveraging noSQL and an accounts database that trusts all users as literal admins.
But if you're looking to self-host, and your primary interest is in publishing your own material on the #Fediverse, then this may be just the thing you've been looking for.
I cannot atest to the veracity of his claims because I haven't actually installed or tested its capabilities, but it's indeed a laundry list of features I've been hoping to see - leaving that Twitter style cloning of communications in the past, like I've been hoping for.
So for those interested, if you're impressed with the capabilities that #PieFed and #Mitra and #Socialhome bring to the table then here's a fourth initiative that is both visionary and inciteful in it's ambitions.
Your thoughts, observations?

Yup. And some time ago too, I might add. The ability to take what works so well and complicate it to the point of absurdity never ceases to amaze.
#Margaret_Hamilton put two men on the moon with 4K of memory. 8K if you're counting the additional RAM on the Columbia's #AGC.
Well if you ever figure out how to lookup your NIC-HANDLE, as they're officially called (or rather, were), I'm BT-74 👋🤠
Yeah, that goes back to the days of "Direct Assignment" when #SRI also operated under the auspices of NIC.DDN.MIL.

Maybe he should have been a liquor store strong armed robber instead, coz he'd be outta jail by now.

New Bitchen' Timestamps in Mitra!
Short, i.e., 3m, 4h, Apr 14, 5d, and Dec 16, 2022. Need the full timestamp? No Prob! Just hover w/your mouse. That last post, for example, would display "December 16, 2022 at 3:23 AM PST" (If you're sitting in my seat right now).
Yeah, that's from a real post of mine, which is HERE.
Enjoy!

Jason what time of day (the dew) did you snap that pic? Or did you mist it before taking the photo? Nasturtium, I'll have to lookup that Genus.
Regardless, it's a beautiful shot. Thanks for sharing!
