I like, how this C-brain read the headlines, that other hardcore C-fans bullied multiple people out of the linux kernel and made this a point AGAINST rust.

Also measuring a proof of concept by LOC of all metrics just tells you to completely ignore this blogpost as utter bs. No sane person should use LOC as a metric for anything. Linus Torvalds recently said that himself.

I think you are mixing things up. Forgejo is one of the soon implementing, self-hostable software forges and one of the 3 listed implementations.

Codeberg is the (Github-alike) central forgejo server, where the team develops and which is also available for general open source coding needs. ForgeFed issues are tracked on Codeberg, so they already show their interest.

Picture using these apps offline with automatic synchronization when you’re back online. This is the essence of local-first web development – a revolutionary approach that puts users in control of their digital experience.

I had to laugh very hard at the "revolutionary approach". How is it revolutionary, if software was developed "local-first" for decades?

Techbros really do come up with the oldest ideas and call them revolutionary.

Please don't give recommendations.

Mullvad has had multiple public audits and even contributed to other security-related open source projects. You don't have to create an account and they even take cash by mail. It can't be more anonymous than that.

Astrill on the other hand has had no public audits, and costs more than twice as much. It is not worth the price, since their security can't be checked by normal users. Also they require an account. Furthermore even in their FAQ they don't say that they wouldn't give the data to a court. They ask the question, but don't really answer it.

I would never buy a VPN from a company like that.

I find an odd sort of comfort in the fact, that ISP-support seemingly is bad everywhere and has been for centuries.

I remember that 20 years ago we had a problem with our self-bought router and a technician came, fixed the issue without telling us how (although it was our router, where he changed the config) and then just went off.

This project is terrible at telling, what it does.

At first I thought, this was some Pi Pico shell-stuff with a web-interface, but the site doesn't really tell.

It's proprietary in a way, tries to seem open sourcey?

Gives you a way to have a static website or blog hosted?

I am still not sure, what they do, but they have a plus-tier which requires you to ssh-forward the port 1337, so they are hackers at least...

I never liked articles about how you should replace CSV with some other format while pulling some absolutely idiotic reasons out of their rear...

1. CSV is underspecified Okay, so specify it for your use case and you're done? E.g use rfc3339 instead of the straw-man 1-1-1970 and define how no value looks like, which is mostly an empty string.

2. CSV files have terrible compression and performance Okay, who in their right mind uses a plain-text-file to export 50gb of data? Some file systems don't even support that much. When you are at the stage of REGULARLY shipping around files this big, you should think about a database and not another filetype to send via mail. Performance may be a point, but again, using it for gigantic files is wrong in the first place.

3. There's a better way (insert presentation of a filtype I have never heard of) There is lots of better ways to do this, but: CSV is implemented extremely fast, it is universally known unlike Apache Parquet (or Pickle or ORC or Avro or Feather...) and it is humanly readable.

So in the end: Use it for small data exports where you can specify everything you want or like everywhere, where you can import data, because most software takes CSV as input anyway.

For lots of data use something else.

Friends don't let friends write one-sided articles.

Am I getting "Hey you are a programmer, I have a business idea"-spam not only from friends and family but also while scrolling through hacker-news?

I've been using atuin in my private PC for like half a year now.

It is kinda nice, to quickly search your history and that part works really well, but what I don't like (maybe there are configs for it) is that you:

1. have an additional button press for the usual "get me that last operation" and

2. it searches all sessions (which is mostly nice, but sometimes annoying, I guess)

The mobile version of Into the Breach is really good. I played it even longer than the desktop version.

The title is blatant misinformation and easily disproven by looking into it.

The thread itself on CKTN is weird and misleading also. I mean "Not really a suprise." ?? What?

From the Mull-Dev: (on reddit [1]) Why are you, a r/fossdroid mod, spreading blatant misinformation? Mull does not have trackers, those are either completely disabled or stubs. [...] Why would I bother with enabling so many privacy features to just throw it out the window as is independently tested here?

Okay, name aside, because I instantly got that and englisch isn't my first language.

But the crawler seems to be lacking quite a bit. For my first search (current work problem) "rust json diff" it only found 6 links, only one of which was a rust crate. Unfortunate.

Second Search: "black sabbath sleeping village lyrics" only gave 2 results, only one of which was correct.

Also the repo is missing the SearXNG[1] search engine.

Yeah, but why would I input bleach into my recipe-maker? Why would I not look out the front window of my car while driving?

Those are basic skills humans in those positions should be able to do.

From the headline I thought the AI mixed some food-ingredients to make chlorine gas, which would be really bad. But if one were to only input "battery acid, cut fingernails, hairball, dead smartwatch" what kind of recipe do you think they'll get?

I didn't know Digital Ocean before, but it seems like they are more focused on CPU than on disk space. This is bad, since you will need to store some data on the server, if you send any images at all. We have a matrix-server running for 4 people since maybe 2019 and it's at 60gb disk usage right now. So in that regard, 10 memers will need at least a 100gb so 24$ a month, but you can get a lot cheaper than that, using some other server hosters, which are more focused on giving you a lot of space instead.

Specs: The server we use has 4 cores (barely uses 1) and 8 gigs of RAM, 2.5 of which are currently used and 120gb of disk space, that will probably suffice for another 2-3 years.

Okay, do you have numbers for that? (honest question) Most "statistics" I have seen were done via a reddit survey, which 3rd party apps can't do due to API-limitations. So all the users sying "yes I use a 3rd party app" did so either via their mobile or workstation browser (where you have to auth again) which is a hassle most people (me included) are not willing to take for some random reddit survey.
