I have no idea, but my impression was that basically nobody wanted to put in work on X11 anymore.

I have used quite a bit of Gtk and QT, and have had to touch X11 or Wayland very little directly, EXCEPT for one case where I wanted to provide a global hotkey...

we are not as complicated as the national grid, I have been here for nearly 10 years now, and our outages have gone from single cause, two causes, or now its nearly always 3 things that need to go wrong at the same time.

In CS2, a huge portion of cheaters can be identified just by the single stat 'time-to-damage'. Cheaters will often be 100ms faster to react than even the fastest pros. Not all cheaters use their advantage in this way, but simply always make perfect choices because they have more information than their opponents.

Is there some place I can still buy TV shows or movies? Preferably DRM free

Im just worried many will give them less of a chance to learn, in the same way we were given.

except... i store my password for work in bitwarden, so I dont want to also keep my work passkeys in the same place. For my personal stuff, that is a risk I can live with so far, but for work it seems dumb.

4 months ago I was incredibly dismissive. After having used Claude Code extensively since then, I think these LLM tools definitively has a a place in software development, but with every new tool in software development, the floor has been raised for what can be completed with less resources. I'm more worried for the junior engineers coming in now.

It is not that bleak, but yeah. Current solutions leave a lot be desired especially int terms of scalability and redundancy design.

Hehe, yes. The naive, but very hardworking developer is the most dangerous. He will dig you holes so deep nobody will ever find out if there is even any light in there.

Yeah, this security is appalling. Might as well just give remote access to your machine.

Is there any point to switch to Forgejo for my open source projects? Wouldnt I just be leeching resources from the guys at Codeberg/ whereever instead of Microsoft?

New comment by javier2 in "I Like GitLab"

javier2 — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 19:34:35 +0000

Well, I have used a lot of Github Action too, and Gitlab is by far easier to do fairly complicated stuff with, but Github Actions has much better re-usability if you need to re-use or share parts of the job with all projects you build.

Just tried it out for a bit, and it looks great and is super snappy. It seems the CI portion is delivered by a project Woodpecker? How does this work and is compared to gitlab CI?
