I have been very happy with github for _years_. Lately, not so much. Now I want to try a self-hosting alternative again. I tried gitlab years ago (pre-pandemic, IIRC), and it wasn't for me (they had _serious_ security issues as well, w

It's the other way around for me: as 99% of the stuff I develop is .NET (and I use EF Core for database stuff), I can get away with SQLite for local development, prototyping (and even staging), and then just "flip a switch" f

I've been doing the same-ish workload the past week (the graph shows the whole month), and it's been consistently on $10 USD/day. Yesterday, however, spiked at $50 USD, and after just 2 hours of "activity" today, it

> Apple doesn't want us to keep using old hardware even if it's similar to new hardware. I'm not disagreeing with you, but is this a fact, i.e. has it been proved?

Not related to this release, but their trade-in for old hardware is a joke to me. My 2019 MBP i9 2.4GHz w/64GB RAM and 2TB SSD is worth $200. It seems to me that they don't even want a trade-in; it makes much more sense to me to j
