Software dev by day and software dev by night. Work life balance achieved by working on separate projects. Currently working on [REDACTED] for work and video game restoration as a hobby.

I also self-host a lot of stuff. That includes a Forgejo instance for my projects and for mirroring projects that should never disappear.

  • It’s basically true. Animal agriculture (land use, resource use, and pollution to create animal products) is a major source of pollution which competes with transportation for the biggest source of global warming.

    Unfortunately the more nuanced take is that it’s not a single thing; it’s a series of choices that eventually become habit. But so is not owning a car.

    I think technically the single most impactful thing you can do is to remove major polluters from the planet (though in many cases that is illegal so, in case cops are watching, I’m certainly not recommending that).




















  • That’s a very elegant way of doing it! I need to do something similar with my setup one day. Having everything hosted in my home gives me the most control but also a lower availability than if I ran everything in someone else’s datacenter. Currently an outage means that browsers and other clients just time out which is not very informative. Have you explored any other options? I was thinking of spinning up a dedicated VM somewhere to handle this and automatically switching over DNS entries at the same time (maybe automatically update DynDNS when the VM boots).

    WRT is this relevant to selfhosted: I think some people will disagree, but Cloudflare is still selfhosting. It’s not localhosting, but as long as it’s services that you provision yourself it’s selfhosting.








  • Can you please learn how to use git or at least some source control software instead of creating a new (almost) empty repository every release? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

    If you’re just going to include source code archives in the release instead of pushing them to the repo itself, you should at least disable the automatic source code archives. But you’d be better off not using a source control website at all if you’re not going to use source control.
