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?

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.

hey wanna see something kinda interesting? this was the entire fix to the iPhone Antennagate in 2010. 20 bytes.

(this is going to be a very long thread 🧵)

The Windows Settings screen for network connection has a thing marked "run an internet speed test".

Can you guess what it does?

If you guessed "open your browser to Bing, with the search bar prefilled with 'internet speed test'", claim your prize.
