As I've seen a good number of people here post about "Worktree.ca" as a "Canadian-owned" alternative to GitHub: it's a closed-source fork of Gitea which "one day" (maybe, if the company doesn't change its mind) will be open core. It also runs on AWS…
Not that it's any of my business, but migrating there feels like the code-equivalent of leaving Twitter for Bluesky: Moving from one company-owned walled garden to the next, without having learned a lesson. All painted in a nationalist cash grab. 🤷‍♂️

A metal gate, exterior of the walled garden, and outbuildings of the manor house.
An old church behind some trees at the back of a meadow.

Observing the spaces around me, whether it is the landscape, the built environment, or simply the places that I inhabit; finding that rare quality of beauty in the mundane and the every-day; creating memories that words cannot express.

I've spent the day in my Slackware bubble; on this computer the latest hyprland with nwg-shell.
Of course all runs well; had some great hints and my dots were still available on my Codeberg.
Only one real challenge: installing all of the Rust stack (and that involves a ton of dependencies).
Not bcs I'm a dev, but because I want eza and have a go at wezterm 😆 !
As you know, you'll have to install those separately and by yourself on Slackware. Keeps our garden nicely walled 😜

Wißt ihr noch, damals, als alle plötzlich dieses „Internet“ entdeckten und jeder dort sein wollte?
Viele¹ landeten zunächst im Walled Garden von AOL oder Compuserve und wagten dann zaghafte Ausflüge in dieses wilde Netz, wo die Hacker² und die richtigen³ Pornos⁴ waren.
„Neuland“ aka 25 Jahre „ich bin drin!“

Walled garden at a stately manor; a sun dial in the centre of short, patterned hedges.
