I don’t know the specifics but forgejo is a gitea fork. There was/is some controversy around gitea governance and movent towards prioritizing a closed source paid/private versions of gitea.

Again, I don’t know details, just very broad strokes. I chose forgejo because it’s under active Foss development and I didnt want to deal with potentially going with gitea and then having to abandon it later for whatever reason might develop.

And I totally understand that. These AI crawlers really suck.

Not saying this is an option for you, only that I kept my forgejo instance private to avoid dealing with this AI crawler bullshit. I hope you find a good solution.

Interestingly enough, this concept was used in pattern making for casting machine parts back before modern machining and parts manufacturing.

They were colloquially called shrink rulers, and looked like a standard ruler, but were actually longer to account for the shrinkage of the material being cast.

For example, say you’re casting a part from iron, which shrinks 1% as it cools, which amounts to 1/8 inch per foot.

An iron shrink rule would look standard, but actually measure a foot as 1 foot 1/8 inches to account for the shrinkage (this is an example and not meant to be actually accurate).

Source: am historian that interviewed pattern makers that used shrink rulers in their work.

Edit: spelling

jq is indispensable

Holy shit. I just tried it. ctrl+r is a revelation! How the fuck did I not know about this?

It has a fingerprint reader.

How did you get into my fire safe?

I was just citing the article’s stated workaround since that’s what everyone will want to know.

Agree. I was just citing the article.

The workaround is pay for YouTube premium.

Edit: the above is is what the article says. Not my opinion. YT can get bent. Firefox + uBlock has been my “workaround” for years.

What do you like about chezmoi vs stow?

I don’t share mine. I manage them with gnu stow and my private gitforge on my server (with 3-2-1 backup in place)

I don’t have an objection to sharing them. I don’t think it’s too personal, I just don’t use a public facing gitforge.

Edit to add: I have branches for my different machines in my dotfiles repo for variations

I run arch on my laptop (btw), and Ubuntu server on my server. I like how reliable and stable Ubuntu server is. Gives me piece of mind.

I’ve been using Ubuntu server on my server for close to a decade now and it has been just rock solid.

I know Ubuntu gets (deserved) hate for things like snaps shenanigans, but the LTS is pretty great. Not having to worry about a full OS upgrade for up to 10 years (5 years standard, 10 years if you go Ubuntu pro (which is free for personal use)) is great.

A couple times I’ve considered switching my server to another distro, but honestly, I love how little I worry about the state of my server os.

I’ve already aliased gl for git log with my flags, but have been too lazy to add more aliases.

Oh. I did not know that. Gonna try that right now.

jq is indispensable.

zoxide. It’s cd but better. It remembers which directories you’ve navigated to, and fuzzy finds them.

So instead of typing:

cd /really/long/path/to/sime/dir

You can type:

zoxide dir

And it’ll take you right to the directory.

I’ve got it aliased to zd so I type:

zd dir

And I’m there.
