    I'm wondering, now almost three years in after the Forgejo/Gitea fork, which side of the fork ended up better. Both still seem very active with thousands of commits each. I run a G…

    I use LLMs (like claude-code and codex-cli) the same way accountants use calculators. Without one, you waste all your focus on adding numbers; with one, you just enter values and c…

    Browser password managers with passkeys are more convenient for me, but a pass vault can still be useful for recovery codes and API keys. I used pass for a while but couldn’t see w…

    When the outage started, for me duckduckgo.com just returned no results with the searchbar visible. The ddg homepage was still working. I've been using "my search term !g" for now …
