Not exactly programming, in fact sort of took me out of my foray into python.
My mesh wifi routers shat the bed after a decade so I got new routers and have been configuring my network. I'm almost done then back to my python project.
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.
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.
I disagree. Yes, contributing to the docs is worthy of doing, but there's no reason not to write your own book/blog if a person wants to. I'm certainly interested.
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.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
