    I don't think they have to worry about that since they are self-hosting.

    Has anyone used the Repository Mirroring Feature [1] to mirror repos across self-hosted Forgejo/Codeberg/Github? How effortless is it? Ideally, I'd like to only ever push repos/bra…

    Hey, just want to say thank you for your blog. I've learned so much about Docker, dev tooling, and engineering from reading it over the past 7 years.

    Congrats to the Zed team! I've been using a combination of Zed + Gram [1] (which I predict may lag behind this 1.0 release in features/fixes). They are both nice, fast editors. How…

    To be fair, Github has several magnitudes higher of users running on it than Codeberg. I'm also a Codeberg user, but I don't think anyone has seen a Forgejo/Gitea instance working …

    Where did you get the impression that it's controversial to pay for YT Premium? Most threads I've seen on this topic are composed of roughly half of the comments endorsing YT Premi…

    I'm going to assume you no longer live near family, or are not close to them. I was severely depressed for over a year where I lived alone (across the country from my parents) with…

    Usually, the strategy is to draw a false equivalence to the 1960 presidential election, specifically the recount in Hawaii [1][2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_United_Sta…

    It always amazes me how successfully this was swept under the rug and how few people I talk to know about this. The Jack Smith public hearing [1] was so damning, it is unbelievable…

    It's been a while since I've tried it, but post-1.0 release of Bun still seemed like beta software and I would get all sorts of hard to understand errors while building a simple CR…

    At least in the U.S., from my observations, it's mainly a right-wing phenomenon and borne from the same culture that brought us the likes of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Hal Turne…

    I'm surprised to see this is built on libSQL -- a while ago, I was told on the Turso Discord that libSQL was deprecated in favorite of the new `tursodatabase` packages. Is there a …

    This reflects my experience. I also experienced very bad memory leaks when using libSQL for large write jobs. Haven't tried tursodatabase yet, but my impression by the confusing am…

    There's a good CCK Philosophy video about AI Art that I think is pertinent here [1]. From my layman's observation, AI is forcing us to reflect on the kind of work we do, how it ful…

    Same, I'm still using Sublime with SublimeLSP, and it works for 95% of my use cases because I tend to rely on the terminal for everything else. Although I do hope to switch to Zed …

    The focus on VS Code is a bit confusing. The author seems to have an issue with juniors relying IDEs as a crutch in general.

    Haha I said the same thing when I saw it. `this.update` is essentially Mithril's `m.redraw`, which has been around for almost 10 years at this point, and Mithril was already popula…
