I've been on a somewhat binge to move a bunch of stuff to self-hosting at home. Yesterday I finally completed my self-hosted Forgejo instance at home, together with Linux, Windows (via VM) and macOS (via Mac Mini) runners/workers for CI/CD, so everything finally lives in-house (literally), instead of all source code + Actions being on GitHub but the infrastructure actually living locally. This is probably the first t…

The idea of a homelab is appealing to me, but then I actually start building one and get tired of it quickly. When I’ve been fixing broken systems at work all day I don’t really want to have to be my own sysadmin too.

I’ve got a nice and powerful Minisforum on my desk that I bought at Christmas not even switched on.

Seems like they just can’t deal with the absolute deluge of AI vomit being uploaded every day. Good riddance I hope it completely destroys them.

Are you taking about what they write to run the service? Because looking at the uptime, and considering it's Microslop, I wouldn't be surprised.

Just cancelled my GitHub Copilot Pro+ year subscription. Removal of Opus 4.6 stung, but the repeated continued downtime makes it unusable for me. Very disappointed. No fuss instant refund of my unused subscription (£160) appreciated.

What will you use now?

I've tried for 15 years to have my homelab, but always get lost in the complexity after a year or so, in the past. About 3 years ago I gave NixOS a try instead for managing everything, which suddenly made everything easier (counter-intuitively perhaps) as now I can come back after months and still understand where everything is and how it works after just reading.

Setting up Forgejo + runners declaratively is probably ~100 lines in total, and doesn't matter I forget how it works, just have to spend five minutes reading to catch up after I come back in 6 months to change/fix something.

I think the trick to avoid getting tired of it is trying to just make it as simple as humanly possible. The less stuff you have, the easier it gets, at least that's intuitive :)

Doesn’t GitHub Copilot Pro+ only have month-to-month payment option?

Only Pro (without plus) can be paid annually for some reason.

I self-host Forgejo for personal and indie-startup purposes, and like it well enough.

The downside with that is it misses one of the key purposes of GitHub: posturing for job-hunting/hopping. It's another performative checkbox, like memorizing Leetcode and practicing delivery for brogrammer interviews.

If you don't appear active on GitHub specifically (not even Codeberg, GitLab, nor something else), you're going to get dismissed from a lot of job applications, with "do you even lift, bro" style dissing, from people who have very simple conceptions of what software engineers do, and why.
