I really need to migrate off github, huh? I guess it's about time to say goodbye to my archives of the last time I got some sort of accolade for a project.

Looks like my migration to codeberg will also be updating my resume, writing some introductory bits to my current projects, and hoping the 10k lines of code I've written this year makes up for a very large gap in my resume.

I'd love to do something other than find an industry job, but unfortunately, I think my younger self squandered any chances I had left in academia.

Making the most of it I guess.

Welp, Tuta marked my new email for a 48 hour soft lock, and that's where my codeberg activation went... Hopefully I'll be able to migrate by the end of the weekend...

That felt like exhuming a grave and defiling a corpse...

...but I officially have moved all my archives and active code repos to codeberg

0 github repositories

it ain't much, but it feels better than sticking with the status quo
i'll be de-googling over the next week

The hardest part was writing this

Though pretty cool that all my 6 year old projects still build and run like they were made yesterday

If anyone has some good inline CSS for markdowns, lmk!

@the_dot_matrix what did you end up doing for CI?
Show threadDotMay 25, 2025

@zkat i have little need for CI at the moment, but a lot of folks decided on either total/hybrid use of source-hut to remedy that situation

@the_dot_matrix ah. I decided against id because of uh. The SH guy basically. Don’t really wanna touch that with a ten foot pole

@zkat oh, i didn't know there was something wrong with the srcht guy, i really hope there's nothing too bad about codeberg either :x

@the_dot_matrix I've known people who had to briefly email tennis with real people @Codeberg to get their account activated. It wasn't a big deal.
Show threadDotMay 24, 2025
@screwlisp no worries and no need to tag, looks like I made 2 mistakes, and was able to sign up for free with a different email for the time being, and I'll just let the paid membership activation expire and upgrade later

@the_dot_matrix

I'm retired officially but , well, is retirement real?
I can't work in the industry because I'm too jaded and too experienced. Way too many lines of code. I can't put up with the bullshit. So I'm poor. But I do what I want so, really, I'm rich.

Do what you love. Keep focus.

I just moved to codeberg too, and I had to rethink my resume, or better, how I want to paint myself so that others can understand who I am. Such a weird exercise. I've done it so many times. Who am I anyway? Who do I want to be?

I don't know what I'd do if I was young. Probably what I'm doing now anyways.

@Zenie thank you for your wisdom

I have been doing similar things, and I'm poor, but also burdened with various debts.

But you're right, and I do not want to forget this sentiment as I go through another re-creation/establishment of sorts.

I'm sure I can find a happy medium.
