They tried this many years ago with the original steam machines, it went horribly. Also, you can install SteamOS or Bazite on most machines. Not sure what the issue is here.

I agree that 30% is too large of a cut, but what would be appropriate? 15%? Steam does add a ton of value from an immediate audience, solid advertising opportunities, and amazing distribution for the developer.

Completely agree, I thought about this being a CLI tool. My reasoning is that not everyone wants to migrate every single repo that they have, as some can be multiple GBs that they do not want on their private server. I wanted to have a GUI to be able to select the specific repos that I wanted to migrate. If you have hundreds of repos like myself, using the CLI to select specific repos could be slightly more inconvenient than just clicking through the UI. Also I just prefer GUI over CLI in my own opinion in most cases.

Hey guys, I have been seeing a lot of concerning things happen with Github recently (Accounts banned, private repos being scaped for LLMs, and the whole Github Runners fiasco). I think a lot of people, including myself, are moving to self hosted instances of Gitea. I found it annoying to migrate each repo individually, because I have hundreds of repos. I created an Electron app to help bulk migrate all of my repos and it works great. I did use Opus 4.5 to assist me with this build. Please let me know what you think!

I get having issues with RFK and the way the administrations handles health issues surrounding vaccines, but this seems pretty solid.

I use this image on my VPS, it was the last update before they neutered the community version

Do you have a definition of what is considered a small vs large coding task?

jdoe1337halo — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 16:29:50 +0000

Self hosting is awesome. I have been doing it for about a year since I quit my full time SWE job and pursued SaaS. I am using Coolify on a $20/month Hetzner server to host a wide variety of applications: Postgres, Minio (version before community neuter) for S3, Nuxt application, NextJs applications, Umami analytics, Open WebUI, and static sites. It was definitely a learning process, but now that I have everything set up, it really is just plug and play to get a new site/service up and running. I am not even using 1/4 of my server resources either (because I don't have many users xd). It is great.

Lmao GPT-5 is still riddled with em dashes. At least we can still identify AI generated text slop for now

As much as I hate Musk, this brings a tear to my eyes seeing these disabled people regain autonomy and feel like a person again.

Hey I made this! Thanks for posting! I answered most questions in the r/webdev reddit thread but I will happily answer more questions here.

Strange, I am using an iPhone 12 pro max and it works for me. I am going to keep playing around with different pixel painting techniques and see if I can get a more reliable, 50/50 split on both links. Thanks for trying!

Hey guys I made a website so yall can try this out yourself! I don't have the exact methodology that Christian uses, so here is how I did it:

The ambiguous QR code in this application works by combining two different QR codes into a single image using a diagonal split pattern. When two QR codes have different patterns at the same position, the cell is split diagonally - one half represents the first QR code and the other half represents the second QR code. When both QR codes have the same pattern at a position (both black or both white), the cell is filled with a solid color. Due to the high error correction capability of QR codes (using error correction level 'H'), QR code scanners can still read either URL depending on the scanning angle, though as noted in the UI, it tends to favor the second URL more frequently.
