May I ask what tools did you make so far? And what is on your roadmap?

I have been self-hosting Forgejo for some time now. It is impressively easy to maintain and operate. I can highly recommend giving it a spin.

New comment by hosteur in "Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce"

> What's really happening is that a few employees realized they can game the system by turning on a firehose of AI slop and pushing 10x the LOC than any other engineer (with or without AI)

Did they figure out how to game the system? Or was the system set up exactly with incitaments to produce exactly this outcome?

Yeah me too. I moved all my public projects to codeberg and my internal repos to self-hosted forgejo.

Hosting forgejo is really easy as well. It being a single binary makes it really easy to handle with almost zero maintenance.

Well, outages seem to be distributed across all days except weekends. So this seems like people fucking around with stuff being a major factor.

Why is there even a “ moderation queue”? Isn’t this people’s private recordings?

New comment by hosteur in "Ask HN: Chrome, Brave, Firefox or Something Else?"

hosteur — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:28:37 +0000

I prefer Firefox as it is still the only feasible non-chromium alternative.

I have been a firefox user for more than two decades - since it was called Pheonix and later Firebird.

    for url in url1 url2 ..; do git clone $url; done

That’s not really a script but a basic one liner.

So here more than 6 years later, did they act more swiftly or pursue new ideas? The development pace seems unbearably slow.
