  • I know I’m not part of the target audience for pretty sites, but the average user gets frustrated with poor design choices and outright broken websites as well.

    Just as one recent and therefore present example, I was on a pretty site the other day and nothing happened when I clicked on “About Us”. The next thing I did was close the tab. As you say, first impressions mean a lot.

    I hear complaints about these kind of things at work constantly as well. As an internal product owner of sorts users think I and the devs make poor design choices on our own, but all we can do is manage the best we can with the UX garbage Microsoft comes up with.


  • I really like what Mikrotik offers. Their gigabit routers start at maybe €40 and have the incredibly powerful Router OS installed.

    A mini-PC with pfSense would offer similar features with more processing power, but with a homelab already you don’t need to do much processing on the router itself.



  • Forgejo is a git server, forked by Codeberg from Gitea after Gitea got bought up by a for-profit corporation.

    Codeberg is a non-profit organization which runs a public instance of the Forgejo git server.

    You can make an account on Codeberg.org, save repos there, and contribute to other repos, like on Github. Or you can run your own Forgejo instance to use either privately or open up to public use.
