- Comment on GitHub Is Down 1 day ago:
Codeberg seems to be for public repos only, so my current use case. But forjero does look really nice. I really appreciate your feedback, by the way!
- Comment on GitHub Is Down 1 day ago:
Oh, interesting.
I’m looking for strictly private repositories to share with a handful of people, but I also don’t mind paying.
How much maintenance does forjero require? I don’t really have the capacity for much of that at the moment (thus, the paid solution search lol). Maybe I’ll look into codeberg. Are they secure?

Forgero or codeberg or something else? What do you recommend?

An ad blocker would have stopped this, which is why it is a matter of cybersecurity best practices to always employ a proper ad blocker.

I hope Microsoft Windows crashes and burns

…for now.
I swear. Society at large will never learn from Microsoft’s games.
- Comment on I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well 1 week ago:
Thanks. But I’ve tried it. Doesn’t work. It requires a firmware version that is one version higher than what’s on mine. With no way to connect to it, there’s no way to update the firmware.
- Comment on I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well 1 week ago:
I’ve used both, and highly prefer this over any of the ipods of the generation. This is partly because of the drag and drop, but mostly because it didn’t gaf whether the mp3 came from itunes or ripped with Audio Grabber. Ipods all cared, and I had to trick them into playing Audio Grabber files by encoding them to m4a. Absolutely bonkers.

Not to brag, but this is my mp3 in 2026: Image
It plays wonderfully. But only works with Windows XP for transfers…
- Comment on Hiroshima scientists turn any smartphone into a radiation detector 1 week ago:
Ah. I missed that. Ok, this makes total sense then. But the films activate at high doses anyway; doses you’ll notice. I guess this system will be especially useful if those films ever become more sensitive.
- Comment on Exploring Options to add NVR 1 week ago:
From Frigate’s site, regarding their paid + subscription.
Frigate+ models are trained using images from actual security cameras in use by Frigate users located all over the world.
I’m hoping this is fully opt-in, but it doesn’t say.

That’s a big ‘if’, and one I desperately want.
- Comment on Hiroshima scientists turn any smartphone into a radiation detector 1 week ago:
The EBT4 film is designed to change color instantly when exposed to radiation, a change that can be detected by the naked eye.
So, why do I need your system to point a digital camera on the film, if I can see the change on the film? Seems like a solution to a problem that was already solved.
- Comment on Shanghai scientists create computer chip in fiber thinner than a human hair, yet can withstand crushing force of 15.6 tons — fiber packs 100,000 transistors per centimeter 1 week ago:
Instead of comparing it to desktop computers, let’s compare it to the ESP processor lines. Imagine an ESP device that is made much thinner, lighter, more power efficient, and less likely to crush. Imagine circuitry interlaced into clothing. The
horrorsbenefits are endless. - Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate 1 week ago:
Sorry for the delay, mate. I live in a different town to my parents. I just visited them, and they replaced the mouse with a Microsoft mouse, that does less, and requires their shitty drivers. At least it’s a pretty blue color -___-
- Comment on YouTube seems to be blocking background video playback on Samsung Internet, Brave, and other browsers 1 week ago:
How can you watch those ads, if your screen if off?? Won’t anyone think of the c suite and board??! Oh, and of the shareholders, I guess?!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Hahahahahaha!! No, no, you’ve got a good point
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I thought of some of those, but decided to add my point (4) and allow the community to do it right.

They don’t need people. They have agentic browsers. Lolol

Rebuild trust?
- remove all telemetry
- remove all ai bullshit
- remove ads
- open source the whole code
Then, and only then, we might start to trust again.

Their AI replacement. I see that the article has been altered since I’ve favorited it, changing its original tune. Nevertheless, I know people in msft, and they’re doing exactly that (replacing older human-written code with slop). One of my mates left msft for this exact reason.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
No, they won’t. Some will. Most won’t. Ring cameras still overtake the market. Windows still overtakes the market. Amazon Alexa still overtakes the market. People, en large, don’t gaf about privacy. I wish they did.

Yeah. I already knew what caused it.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 2 weeks ago:
Exactly! It’s not some Tesco bulb, this bulb will last a while. It hasn’t burnt yet. People. I swear lol
- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 3 weeks ago:
I never had to do it once. And compared to Win3.11, it was revolutionary. Though Oregon Trail stopped working on it, which was a bummer.

95 was great. 98 was shite. 98SE was fine.
