And well this is just about the best thing you're going to read all day. Maybe all week. Maybe all month.

Post of the year?

Maybe.

Since it's in the zeitgeist right now, let me note that moving my current projects off Github to Codeberg a while back has made me generally happier. Codeberg has no faff, no Copilot, and no corporate overlord. It just does what Github was supposed to do.

Notes:

• It doesn't do Github Actions unless you bring your own build server, because only corporate overlords can afford that kind of infra, but this isn't a problem for me. It might be for you. I have one project which needs them, and I'm just mirroring it back to GH (Codeberg will automate that for you) to run the actions on M$'s infra for now. [Edit: They do offer limited runners for actions now, just don't expect to be compiling any kernels on them.]

• I say this as an open source developer with open source project hosting needs. If you're looking for commercial or private hosting, look elsewhere; Codeberg don't do that. (I'm sure there are lots of options for hosted ForgeJo instances, or you can self-host if you're into that kind of kink.)

• If you were considering Gitlab instead and still haven't caught on to the fact they're run by fascist collaborators, well, they're run by fascist collaborators.
