Run VSCode in the Browser

Coder.com has open sourced its cloud-server component which allows VSCode to run on a remote server fully accessible through the browser. 
What is the advantage of that?
  • Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent dev environment.
  • Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
  • Preserve battery life when you're on the go as all intensive computation runs on your server, plus you're no longer running excess instances of Chrome.
Code-server is available as a single binary or Docker image and can be self hosted locally, which of course beats the purpose of portability, or on remote servers such as a VPSs' on Digital Ocean

Greenplum's Cloudberry Fork Enters Apache Incubator

  Cloudberry is the open source equivalent of Greenplum. Now it is fostered by the Apache Foundation as it acquires incubating status. It all began about six months ago. Greenplum's Github repositories was archived and went dark. This meant no more free new releases or security and bug fixes for its users. Why? Because in May 2024, Tanzu made the decision to close-source the project. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/17694-greenplums-cloudberry-fork-enters-apache-incubator-.html
