Here's a very straightforward visual example of good vs bad: https://noyb.eu/en/project/cookie-banners (it's the first header image showing an arrow from the bad to the good)
Hmm, the general idea seems to be nice, at least for inspiration... Just checked the .net job and am wondering why it doesn't use the official images by Microsoft?
For me it looks more like another source to adapt from :-)
How so? Windows is well-known for a long time now to be a universal backdoor (which you agree to in the ToS) and that's why "windows debloater" scripts are more popular than ever. On the app level, VSCodium has plenty of threads on this very site discussing how outrageous it is that the official VSCode is distributed with trackers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19650109

I don't understand. Why would anyone else be more susceptible to supply chain attacks than Microsoft? If anything, being a big org with many departments is a bigger attack surface, while having so many users is a strong incentive to get hacked.
"Discord community" is there no hope left for decent communication anymore? Even awful PHP forums from the 2000s would be a step up from this.
The project seems great, I was a bit down after understanding that this was a gitlab-ci only venture (as I am currently searching for a simple and working CI/CD decoupled from the repo). But helping reduce the cognitive load needed to write good pipelines is always nice.
In my experience this mostly doesn't exist. For a public open source-only project, sure, you can use a variety of free simple CI/CD solutions. But as soon as you need anything more complicated than "run a public linter on my public code", you need to add plumbing that makes it complicated.
I am very interested in making the simplest possible CI method and deployment method, but I've never been able to make or use anything that wasn't complicated. The least-complicated solution I have ever seen is Drone.io, but even that's not all that simple.
Yes, drone.io or woodpecker (to stay on the FOSS side) are simpler than most alternatives, I had some hopes in https://agola.io/ but could not finish the tutorials due to random errors, and most other solutions are either a hassle to setup and integrate (buildbot), a vulnerable honeypot (jenkins), or require an existing k8s cluster or even more managed infra.
At some point it is easier to install a gitlab omnibus than having to worry about the rest

I've been working on an MVP that is exactly this. By decoupling the CI (CD coming in soon) it is easier to run a tool like Prettier on every repo or a subset of repos in your GitHub organization. Check it out at githaxs.com.
I'm personally a big fan of laminar (https://laminar.ohwg.net/docs.html). Which is an extremely minimalistic cicd solution which makes you existing tools for your pipelines instead of giving you a framework.
Being able to name differences does not a difference make. You can't self-host Freenode either unless you're fine with a social network of one. Discord has what made IRC actually good, the people. Nerds passionate about random topics getting together to discuss them.
If you're the kind of person who has ever read bash.org nostalgically you're missing out because Discord has that energy right now today.
I use Discord regularly (and moderate a couple servers), but the experience has never been like IRC in the slightest. They're very much different platforms, and while I won't say that Discord is a bad platform per-se (beats Telegram groups), it certainly isn't the next incarnation of IRC in any sense. A more apt comparison might be calling Discord a fast-paced and immediate Reddit; a centralized service that promotes the illusion of different communities while ultimately serving to extract value from it's users.
Sorry for being thick, but I expected a juypiter style notebook thing for build scripts, which would be awesome, and I don't quite understand what this is. A curated catalog of HOWTOs for building FOSS projects? Which is good, too, I suppose.

Ignore the luddites that haven’t yet realized that Discord is the rebirth of IRC, it’s a great place to host your community.
Can I start hosting my own homeserver now?

sorry for mean feedback, but is weird after seeing "transparency" as top value!
