I can’t wait to use this as a smart TV launcher

It’s funny that I totally agree with you, but I just realized that in a few minutes I’m putting on my full body tracking thigh highs, arm warmers, and sports bra so I can hang out and play games with my friends as a tiny dragon lol.

A big issue though is that you can’t move other people’s projects for them. If I want to contribute to Immich, I have to be on GitHub. Cloning it somewhere the maintainers aren’t looking or accepting contributions does nothing.

I mean I’m not really concerned about it being actually private, I just need to not have asset creators become pissed at me for publicly hosting their paid assets. Self hosting forgejo is on my to-do list but until then I’m using GitHub as a free project host for my unity/blender projects with paid assets. A single one of those projects easily blows past the codeberg 100MB private repo limit.

Besides that, basically the only use I have for GitHub is to contribute to repos on GitHub or to open / comment on issues. So it feels kind of useless to use codeberg since it defeats the whole purpose when the repos I want to interact with aren’t there.

Self hosting also means I wouldn’t be able to accept PRs, comments, or issues from other people unless I let them create accounts, which is something I don’t want to moderate. I was waiting for forgejo to get federation to self host it but I haven’t seen an update from them about that in a while.

So basically there are 2 things I use GitHub for:

• Keeping private projects safe, which are too big for codeberg to allow
• Opening issues on repos that are on GitHub, so using codeberg completely defeats the purpose

Codeberg is like a GitHub where the projects I want to interact with don’t exist, and copying the projects there doesn’t help me give feedback to the original authors.

It’s for private repos only, so if you cloned public repos that wouldn’t count towards the limit.

And it sounds like it’s total for your whole account, you can read about it here:

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests

Storing private repositories is allowed for things related to Free Software, or small content like personal notes. It is limited to 100 MiB per user.

And: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-private-repositories?

Codeberg’s mission is to promote free/libre software. Keeping software private is obviously not our primary use case, but we acknowledge that private repositories are useful or necessary at times.

• If you are a contributor to free/libre software projects, we allow up to 100 MB of private content for your convenience. Use it for your personal notes, your side project or any other you want to keep private.

So yeah, my unity projects with paid assets are ostensibly “side projects”, but 100MB is less than the size of the unity project file or blender assets. So if I can’t use codeberg to keep my unity projects, and I can’t use it to contribute to projects that live on GitHub (like Immich), or to host forks of projects for the original authors to see where the original repo and author is on GitHub, I basically can only use it to mirror projects that I want to “put out into the world” with no specific audience in mind. And for that purpose, so few people ever actually come across my projects that I feel like I might as well just email them to myself.

The biggest use case for using GitHub for me is to interact with people and projects that are on GitHub.

One thing that keeps me from using codeberg more is that private repos are limited to 100MB. So I still need to use GitHub to keep some of my personal projects that contain purchased assets that can’t be made public. I do still have a codeberg account and mirror what I can, but it means I can’t stop using GitHub for now.

As a web dev I hate the trend of websites relying on chromium-specific quirks, there are a handful of sites I need to use which refuse to work in any non-chromium browser, and customer support will always tell you to just use chrome as if you’re not a normal person for using Firefox. So yeah what’s wrong with chromium to me is that it’s the new internet explorer when it comes to web standards. Websites and large businesses can afford to just not care if they are following web standards as long as it works in chrome, and if you have a problem it’s your fault for not using chrome.

Sigh

This is where I got it down to, mainly optimizing for paying for single sided assembly because I don’t like surface mount soldering:

Each extended component incurs a $3 fee when doing assembly, and I think I found 5 equivalently specced basic components which shaves $15 off. I also found alternate sources for a lot of the extra accessories, tens pads, cables, needles. Everything included with all shipping, taxes, fees, a batch of 5 costs $61 and you only have to solder a few through hole components, assuming I didn’t break anything in the design. I think if I returned the design to everything on 1 side, if that doesn’t make the board too much larger it could maybe save $15 total (LCSC charges $30 for shipping, but if you move those parts to the front to be assembled too, for $15 in extended component fees and probably a comparable amount for the parts, you can eliminate the LCSC order).

Not that this really matters that much because I don’t think I can get it low enough for my unemployed-ass to feel comfortable buying. But maybe it’ll help someone else who wants to make them know how low you can reasonably go if you shop around and tweak the design. Working on this is just my hyperfixation for the week driven by my dysphoria tbh

Just wait till you see my costdown spreadsheet for my remix of a diy home electrolysis hair removal machine 👀

Non-technical teams are now shipping production code

Hmmmmmm…

I’m sure coffee enthusiasts would accuse me of not liking the taste of coffee either lmao, I drink my espresso in a ratio of ~30% espresso 70% half and half. I do like the taste of coffee but especially so in combination with lots of cream and sugar, or ice cream. I’m very sensitive to caffeine though and even with decaf I can feel the remaining few percent of caffeine which still ruins my sleep if I have it after noon and it still makes me a tad bit jittery. Nowhere near as bad as full caf though.

I had similar effects from adderall, which is similar to coffee for me (jitters, feeling wired, sweating / clammy). I drink decaf a lot more to avoid that, and switching from Adderall to concerta (now I’m on 36mg concerta) which also helped eliminate jittery side effects. If it’s not caffeine withdrawal, maybe trying a different add medication is a good path. I would ask your doctor about adjusting dosage or trying a different option, since everyone’s a little different and what works for me seems to not be working for you 😅

Damn, about $70 + shipping at jlcpcb with assembly (minus a couple additional components I didn’t bother to match). Probably $100 for 5 boards. My laser sessions are $300 and it takes a bunch. I’m really tempted to order this.

I have a very similar experience, I still use Spotify and YT to discover new music, but I then torrent it (or find it on soulseek) to keep my jellyfin collection growing. I also buy off bandcamp since that’s pretty convenient to fill in my favorite albums.

My belly is too pudgy

Gotcha, I meant it more as a rhetorical question meant to point out that no tablet has 16GB of vram, so it kinda misses my point to talk about ones with 16GB combined ram.

I mean that is true, but still nowhere near the same thing as 16GB ram and 16GB dedicated vram. This thing has a 9070xt and a 600W PSU, so the other commenters claim that they have a higher specced tablet is just kind of absurd, especially since I don’t believe there’s a tablet in existence with discrete graphics. And even if it did, beating a recent gen card like a 9070 would be a really tall order.
