    I want to like Forgejo but the name is really terrible.

    Is it “forj-joe”? Nah, that double-J sound is way too awkward.
    Do you then merge the J sounds to make “forjo”? If so, why not just call it that?
    Is it maybe “for-geh-joe”? That seems the most likely to me, but then that ignores the “build < forge” marketing on their website.

    I know it’s pretty inconsequential, but it feels weird using a tool that you don’t even know how to pronounce the name of.





  • I would say finding that the bug is in a library is worse than finding it in your own code.

    If it’s your own code, you just fix it.

    If it’s in a library you then have to go and search for issues. If there isn’t one, you then go and spend time making one and potentially preparing a minimum reproducible example. Or if you don’t do that (or it’s just unmaintained) then you have to consider downgrading to a version that doesn’t have the bug and potentially losing functionality, or even switching to another library entirely and consequently rewriting all your code that used the old one to work with the new one.

    Yeah, I’d take my own bugs over library bugs any day.





  • I recently replaced my old server (big case + i5-4590 8GB) with a new mini-PC (with a 5560U 16GB). The new one sips power and is so quiet in comparison. The 6TB HDD I had in the old one is currently just attached by a USB-SATA cable. I do intend to 3D print a mount for it to look a bit nicer, but you know what they say: there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

    I’m also trying Alpine + Podman on it instead of Ubuntu server + Docker. Most of it went without a hitch, though I do have an issue with PiHole not working because something called aardvark is using port 53 and Podman needs that running in order to work.

    I also attached an old(ish) midrange phone to it with Termux for use as a low-power ARM server (just for playing around, really). I also intend to use it to test Rust code on ARM. I’m not sure what else to use it for though, so any suggestions are appreciated :)

    Edit: Changed port 22 to 53, whoops.
