Reminded me of the book “The Name of the Wind”.

Just search for “cpu binning”, anything that slips through the cracks of that process are exactly this.

Every job I’ve had has used either GitHub Enterprise or Gitlab self hosted.

I am considering self hosting both Forgejo and Tangled, and keeping them in sync. Seems a 4GB raspberry pi should be just fine with a good size SD card. Maybe I will document the process when I’m done.

I’ve never owned a flip phone that I couldn’t plug in and swap the battery with a new one without it turning off. If that wasn’t normal with your phones I’m not sure why, maybe different circuitry?

Regardless making devices easy to repair, and thus open and maintainable was what I was getting at.

Codeberg / Forgejo and Tangled are my favorite options. Tangled because while it is VC backed, the open source and federated model are well thought out. If you haven’t read the source code I highly recommend it, it’s genius.

Just make hot swapping batteries normal again like it used to be.

Your take of “give people a break, we all want to get home safely” and in contrast of a few comments up, “crossing three lanes to make a left turn”, are taking me for a ride.

I don’t think everyone wants to get home safely honestly. Some of us are having bad days, overtired, on drugs, raging, and who knows what, all while driving next to the mom with four kids in the backseat who hasn’t slept in a week.

Ironically somehow AI is making disabling JS better nowadays, because text/markdown is becoming normalized, so receiving a pure text version of a page is a thing again.

The pain I felt when I cracked my 12” display still echoes in my mind.

I would use this for streaming games from a wired PC to a device that’s wireless. Not having to run a wire is magical.
