Decided to actually start migrating stuff off of Github seriously. While I did move a few repos to Codeberg, I decided to just go with the whole self-hosted route and put the homelab to work by standing up my own Forgejo instance. Wasn't too bad, went with a Postgres database and the migration tool worked pretty well. So far so good...

Self-hosting is becoming popular among a certain kind of user,
-- say the typical readership of ItsFoss.
There is a simple explanation for this shift:
people want their data, dollars, and destiny back.
Centralized platforms optimized for engagement and extraction are colliding with real-world needs
— privacy, compliance, predictability, and craft.
Linux, containers, and a flood of polished open-source apps have turned what used to be an enthusiast’s pro…
One-DoF Robotic Design of Overconstrained Limbs with Energy-Efficient, Self-Collision-Free Motion

One-DoF Robotic Design of Overconstrained Limbs with Energy-Efficient, Self-Collision-Free Motion
While it is expected to build robotic limbs with multiple degrees of freedom (DoF) inspired by nature, a single DoF design remains fundamental, providing benefits that include, but are not limited to, simplicity, robustness, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency. Mechanisms, especially those with multiple links and revolute joints connected in closed loops, play an enabling factor in introducing motion diversity for 1-DoF systems, which are usually constrained by self-collision during a full-cycle…

Killer new self-titled EP by Sydney's BIG MODERN. Great guitar tone & lyrics, dynamics, it's tight, minimal sometimes.. there's some cool surprises on this one and I'm really digging it. And it's on Bandcamp AND Qobuz, which is cool - links below for both.

Instead of strategy, Trump delivered his usual medley of grievances: Obama ruined everything, Biden ruined it twice as hard, and only Donald J. Trump, self-proclaimed “two-term, maybe three-term president” could save America.
It was less a military briefing than an episode of The Apprentice: Pentagon Edition. The generals, trained to withstand battlefield chaos, sat stone-faced through the barrage of nonsense. They have endured artillery fire with more enthusiasm. 2/3

As a security engineer, whenever anyone talks about a control it's always important to ask "by what mechanism?"
> "Oh, that can't happen because we have a system to stop it."
By what mechanism?
> "We have documentation that says...."
Yeah, that's not a mechanism.
People keep saying, "Trump can't do that!" But like... by what mechanism?
> "The constitution says..."
Yeah... a documented list of rules is not self-enforcing. What is the mechanism?
What makes this impossible? Oh, it's possible under certain conditions? Oh, it's always possible and you're completely relying on the idea that there will never be a malicious actor? Yeah, that's gonna get exploited. Oh shit, now you're owned.
What do you do with a system that's completely owned? Once it's compromised it can never be trusted again. What would you tell a client who told you, "Patching is really hard, so we're just gonna ban the attacker's IP."
What, you're not even gonna reinstall?
I assume we've all had the "burn everything down and start again" client. I wonder how many of us thought we would see the US government ask for them to hold it's beer.

Sonnet 109 - CIX
O! never say that I was false of heart,
Though absence seem'd my flame to qualify,
As easy might I from my self depart
As from my soul which in thy breast doth lie:
That is my home of love: if I have ranged,
Like him that travels, I return again;
Just to the time, not with the time exchanged,
So that myself bring water for my stain.
Never believe though in my nature reigned,
All frailties that besiege all kinds …
