  • I like it. We need more specialization of services and less centralization. If Codeberg is the “human-made FOSS forge” then that means something when you see a project on it. If that’s not your project, fine, there is plenty of competition (and Forgejo is open source just run it yourself).

    Would be cool to see someone make a “vibehub” and then you know when you see a link to a project on there what you’re getting (depending on your opinion, good or bad)


  • GitHub is a business making a profit from git hosting for corporations.

    Codeberg is a non-profit explicitly for hosting free software projects (FOSS).

    What is Codeberg? On Codeberg you can develop your own Free Software projects, contribute to other projects, browse through inspiring and useful free software, share your knowledge or build your projects a home on the web using Codeberg Pages, just to name a few.

    I don’t think they’re delusional enough to think their mission is to singlehandedly kill proprietary software.






  • When I got 10 Gbit internet at home I didn’t like the prices of any of the 10G routers for sale so I built my own out of a $80 used ThinkCentre Tiny, $7 PCIe riser, and $20 dual-10G Intel NIC. My APs are the Ubiquiti UniFi APs I was already using (The router I switched from was a Ubiquiti USG3)

    Initially I tried opnSense (and pfSense) but no matter what I did I couldn’t get 10G throughput, so I switched to OpenWRT which has been working great. I feel like the Linux kernel will have better support than FreeBSD since it has a bigger user base.

    For a 1G/2.5G network you can probably get a way with even cheaper hardware.




  • That whole “1 GB per TB of capacity” is some generic rule someone made up once that doesn’t really have anything backing it up. It depends completely on your use case. If it’s mostly media storage that is rarely accessed, I’m sure that 4 GB is plenty.

    I run a beefy TrueNAS server for a friends video production company with a 170 TB ZFS array, right now ARC is using 40 GB of RAM with 34 GB free that it’s not even bothering to touch, I’m sure most of the ARC space is just wasted as well. That’s just one example of how 1 TB = 1 GB makes no sense.

    Devices like laptops, tablets and phones, usually do not have Ethernet built in, or are too mobile to make it practical to use

    What I did in the living room was plug a USB-C dock with a 2.5 Gbit Ethernet adapter into the wall outlet with a 2 meter USB-C 3.x cable.

    So I sit down in the living room and plug in my laptop/phone in to charge when I’m using it and they automatically get a 2.5 Gbit network connection. Even iOS natively supports the common Realtek 2.5 Gbit chipset.
