Gogs / gitea fan here. Used both, can recommend either. One-liner docker command to set up & a simple docker-compose.yml to declare everything in one place.

My company just got acquired, all our branding will eventually go away. Can't get too doxxy; HQ is in San Jose. I have a few items I'm getting rid of, I was thinking of you (or another collecter in your space) about exactly this t

I am an athlete, but not an extremely fit one. I do cycling, 5-10 hours a week. On a good weather day, I can leave the house on the bicycle, ride for 2-3 hours at a casual/slightly-brisk pace, and burn as much as 1500 calories in a day

I recently rode in an Iberia Air Airbus A350. I was struck by how the paint seemed to be dirty / droopy under the windows. This was supposedly a ~10 year old plane (I forget the tail number, so I can't look it up). https:/&#

If I buy this phone today, in {6 months, 1 year, 5 years} when Linux is ready for phones, will I be supported in that future still? I'd hate to buy this phone to support a project and then never have access to what I wished the product
