rewarpLMAO look who came crawling back, after I already switched to Valkey. There is no way I am switching back, but good for the folks who are still on Redis, and get to live through a seamless transition back to open code. <a href="https://linuxiac.com/welcome-back-to-the-open-source-family-redis/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linuxiac.com/welcome-back-to-the-open-source-family-redis/</a> <a href="https://rewarp.com/tags/Redis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redis</a> <a href="https://rewarp.com/tags/Valkey" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Valkey</a> <a href="https://rewarp.com/tags/FOSS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>

Stefano Zacchiroli<a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jwildeboer</a> Amen. Also, it's much worse than just having to agree to those licenses. The <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redis</a> contributor agreement grants the company a sublicense right, making de facto the AGPL ineffective against them.

Björn Schießle :europa:Last year, <a href="https://social.schiessle.eu/tags/Redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redis</a> changed its license to the <a href="https://social.schiessle.eu/tags/SSPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSPL</a>, which is neither an <a href="https://social.schiessle.eu/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> nor a <a href="https://social.schiessle.eu/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> license. This led to <a href="https://social.schiessle.eu/tags/Valkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Valkey</a>, a fork and drop-in replacement.Now Redis has decided to go back to a real Free Software license, the <a href="https://social.schiessle.eu/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNU</a> <a href="https://social.schiessle.eu/tags/AGPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AGPL</a>. This is a great decision, although it remains to be seen if they reverted their decision in time, or if it is too late and the community will continue with Valkey and not look back.<a href="https://redis.io/blog/agplv3/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://redis.io/blog/agplv3/</a>

Fabio Manganiello<a class="hashtag" href="https://manganiello.social/tag/arch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arch</a> is replacing <a class="hashtag" href="https://manganiello.social/tag/redis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redis</a> with <a class="hashtag" href="https://manganiello.social/tag/valkey" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Valkey</a>.The transition period will be of 14 days, at the end of which the Redis package will be moved to the AUR.I said it already one year ago after Redis switched its license to a very restrictive SSPLv1: I don’t get it. And I said that little, if anything, would have changed, and that the Redis community would have just been splintered into a bunch of forks, while the great offenders (AWS and Azure in the first line) would have just switched their cloud offerings to the more permissive forks, still without feeling any duty to contribute back.Fast forward one year, that’s exactly what happened.AWS is already offering Valkey as a drop-in replacement for Redis in ElastiCache. Most of the distros have already switched to Valkey, or are considering to do so. The only loser so far has been Redis itself, which has lost community support, users, developers and funding.Lesson learned: if you build a FOSS project, and you’re pissed by Amazon and Microsoft monetizing it without contributing back, opting for a strict open-source (but NOT free) license that forces any users of your product to also release the full source code of what they’ve built with your product (not only any modifications they’ve made to your product itself) is a bad idea.I mean, I would love to live in a world where such a strategy actually helps, where the “free-as-in-beer” folks can be sensibilized about the cost of their freeloading and where you can nudge them to be less evil with a license that forces them to build more in the open. But the truth is that this world is quite far from that vision. If the cost of forking is perceived as lower than the cost of contributing back, then you can assume that folks will just fork whatever was there at the time of the license change.<a href="https://archlinux.org/news/valkey-to-replace-redis-in-the-extra-repository/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://archlinux.org/news/valkey-to-replace-redis-in-the-extra-repository/</a>

Codeberg.orgWe were still struggling with email delivery from Forgejo. It looks like some queues are corrupted and restoring them is very hard. Most queued messages are spam or registration emails with already expired tokens. Finally, we made the decision to reset the queue and will do that in a few minutes.We are using the opportunity to switch the queues to <a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/tags/redict" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#redict</a> / <a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/tags/redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#redis</a>, which was a planned project anyway (a requirement for clustering our Forgejo to multiple instances).

Matt "msw" WilsonWhen you choose to use a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> license like BSD-3, you are choosing asymmetrical benefit relationship.Others can “take without giving back” and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with that.For example see the CRC64 performance improvements in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redis</a> copied from <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Valkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Valkey</a>.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/OSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSS</a><a href="https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/13638" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/13638</a>

Queen of the Emergency RoomThanks to a friend, I was able to determine that this <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#redis</a> issue was because the failover is wiping data. I have no idea why it's failover-ing as much as it is. But if it was doing it correctly, it wouldn't matter. I think. Most importantly, I was able to show my boss that this is indeed what was happening. I'm not sure if my skills leveled up or if this will just all fall out of my brain like so many things do these days.
