Gitea did a lot of work over the last view releases (since 1.21 onwards) and are really GitHub-like nowadays UI-wise. Plus it is no SPA anymore and mostly SSR with Go templates + Htmx, its site performance lets GitHub cry by the wayside. Best descision ever to leave GitHub and selfhost Gitea with some runners in our own datacenter.

The Ergodox was also too unstable with high tilting for me, so I search for other options. I found the Dygma Raise. Been using it for 3 years now, it is a blessing. I will buy a Raise 2 wireless for my work desk in the office too now.

I cannot fathom all my collegues who still use non ergo keyboards and mice...

I totally feel you. I visited CERN in 2002 when LHC was already in construction and we also visited the construction site of one of the earliest detectors ever build there. This thing was really really huge. We also visited the data center of the detector with its multi-pass data collection system which at that time was super impressive. It was designed to collect Terabytes of data within a fraction of a second. The hardware was very impressive. We also visited the central data center where one of Europe's internet backbones is hosted. The data silos were also very impressive. The amount of compute power and data storage available there were unimaginable high for that time. I think it will dwarf those numbers today while being not that impressive because data and compute density skyrocketed since then.

... glorious chaos. I like that concept. Thanks for the laugh! :D

Thanks for the link. I observed a flock of "mourning" crows around a dead one in the field behind my yard. I was flabbergasted at what I was seeing. So they are mourning and investigating the cause of death for the sake of the flock. Wow!

I live next to a farm in a rural town. We have lots of cats around which are necessary to keep the rodents in check. Our cats love to play their prey to death in our yard (yeah nature is cruel). Some of the local crows know how to get the dead mice from the cats. One or two crows distract the cat, the cat likes to chase the crows for the thrill of the hunt, and then one crow swoops in and steals the cats prey. The cats are always bamboozled when this happens and we watch and laugh. Really smart these feathered freaks :D

I leave shelled peanuts and other bird feed out in the winter, and is fascinating to watch the crows and magpies to crack them open, feed on some of them, then grab two shelled peanuts and fly off with them. They already recognize me coming out in the winter mornings with the bird feed and peanut bags. They wait patiently in the surrounding trees until I'm in the house again. They even see me through the windows watching them and only come down to feed once I am out of sight for them. Truly remarkable.

We also have some pairs of red kites in our area which circle over our fields for prey. The crows don't like them and will try to chase them away, mostly in packs of two to three crows. They are 99% successful in chasing the red kites away because they are more agile in the air and can do more complex flight manouvers. But once one of the crows got to close to the claws of the kite and was killed instantly and dropped down dead. What happened then was even more fascinating. The whole flock of crows gathered around their dead companion and maybe "mourned"? I don't know how to else explain it.

Next winter I will try to befriend them even more, they are so fascinating!

Exactly my thoughts. There are so many good alternatives already, it's insane to me that people still use this garbage. LibreWolf is a godsend

That's why you buy different sized bins, and then you can even combine some forms into one bin (but be careful not to combine similiar forms, this counters the goal).

There are less different forms than any normal brick enjoyer has bricks of a specific color. Therefore the lookup is faster ;)

... and sort LEGO bricks by colour

You never sort by color, ever! You sort by form, and then throw every color of that specific form in one bin. If you throw every red brick in the same bin, you'll never find a specific formed red brick because to many red bricks. But if you first search by form and then by color, you are much faster.

Every time I read C and memory safety, I just think Golang. Especially for user space

Na is the safest Alkali, they get increasingly bad as you go DOWN (not up) the perodic table. Learn basic facts before you spit BS

Ever since Steam released in Beta for Linux (proud owner of the Tux accessory for the Demoman in TF2!) I switched to Linux and stayed there. In the beginning I ran Ubuntu 12.04 and used Steam there. I also used Wine to run Diablo 3 and WoW, although performance was bad at that time. All other programs I needed where there also. (Im a software engineer, so using Linux is even better). But Ubuntu moved to slowly and broke here and there.

What followed was a odyssey between a lot of distributions. Six years ago I tried Void Linux (rolling release without SystemD) and finally settled. Then Steam Proton came around and changed the whole Gaming On Linux scene again for the better. Playing retail WoW with on par performance is now possible. Running any game from Steam on Linux is now a breeze, even if not a native game. Open Source office tools are also on par with Windows / Microsoft counterparts. There really is nothing holding me back from using Linux full time. There is nothing I am missing, and the more I read about problems in the Windows world, the more I am glad I switched all these years ago.

Convincing all my friends doing the same is difficult though. They frankly do not care about privacy or freedom to make the switch. But in the end it is their fault, not mine. If someone comes to me for guidance to make the switch, I will guide them. But I won't evangelise anymore.

Forklift-Proof ERP was not on my bingo card. Thanks for the laugh :D

Life is to short to learn and memorize Vi / Helix keybinds. That's why I stay with Micro as terminal editor.

Some crypto bro got scammed while being involed in some AI shit? How ironic.

Yet, the extension dilemma is also utterly shit. That's why I stay far away from "VSCode and friends"

Yeah I feel you. So many projects do this nonsense.

By looking at the screenshots I thought this looks a lot like Godot. So there is my answer ;)

This looks a lot like Godot to me. So I would rather go with Godot instead. But nevertheless this looks like an awesome tool, less friction for creating story driven games is a good thing. Maybe I give it a try.

Yes it does. Also written in Go and pretty hackable.

Oh no, Amazon does comply with regulatory laws of specific countries in order to make business there? How utterly shocking...

I really favor posix style, which is why I use pflags package for my cli Tools.

I agree, and I feel like the reason to this is the mere existence of 'jq'. Without 'jq' working with json in a Unix shell would be a lot more uncomfortable, but not impossible.

I absolutely feel the same way. For me Node/NPM is the stuff of nightmares. It is freaking impossible to maintain any decent sized project (even side project) in this eco system within a reasonable time investment.

Then there is Go + SQLite + HTMX + AlpineJS + <enter your current flavor of CSS library> and you are done. No complex build / transpile / whatever steps, just go build and done. Deploying consists of copying one binary and one database file to your server and you're done. Building and running stuff is easy and fun again. The JS community can go kick rocks...

In Germany we have Self HTML (https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/SELFHTML) since 1995. I learned all the web dev basics with it as a 12 year old. It was the kickstart for my career, and 28 years later I can safely say I was successful. And it all started with that.

Keep up the great work with such a guide, maybe you kickstart some careers with it!

Today's greenfield is tomorrow's legacy. So this statement still holds true ;)

Monoliths remain pretty good

It's very hard to beat decades of RDBMS research and improvements

Micro-services require justification (they've increasingly just become assumed)

That is so true. I am still deploying good old .war files to full blown Java app servers backed by simple SQL databases (all clustered and stuff) with some handwritten cli tools and a Jenkins server. Shit is fast, shit scales, shit just works. It is a pleasure to work with

I run 3 old and one modern PC at home. With the advent of Win11 and the TPM fiasco 3 years ago I sunset all my Windows installations in favor of Linux. After some experimentation I settled with Void Linux. Stable rolling release, and I have complete control over the hardware I own. Microsoft can go kick rocks...

Which is basically anything that is done on company hardware. Also there is a compliance factor, at least at my company.

Agreed, it has rough edges. But the UI got improved with the last update to 0.4.2. Havent had crashes on Linux, had some on Windows through. But still, its Beta quality Software and better than most other editors already. And its cross platform and really fast
