    Gitea is not fundamentally different than Forgejo, Forgejo is just a better fork of it. Better in terms of: more contributors, more users, dogfooding (Gitea is built on Github 🤦).

    But yes, GitLab is like the Mac of Git forges: everything is included, doing everything their own way, vendor lock, very expensive. There is a community edition but serious users will run into its limitations and it does not integrate neatly with external solutions.

    Forgejo is IMO the Linux of Git forges: low on resources, expandable, hackable, stable.

    Is this a joke? Everyone on the Fediverse has been talking about the outrageous name of the latest GNU Parallel release, and that it is hosted on a Nazi-run blockchain.

    Here it is for the downvoters: GNU as a warm inclusive community.

    GNU Parallel release named “rape gang inquiry” after a project by a farn-right UK politician. That’s not a “random headline”, that’s a dog whistle.

    Second sentence of the release page: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2026-06/msg00000.html

    It is available for download at: lbry://GnuParallel:4

    lbry is a blockchain founded by Jeremy Kauffman, who:

    • called for governors taking measures against COVID spread to be tortured in Guantanamo Bay
    • stated that he wanted “less democracy,”
    • campaigned multiple times for child labor to be legalised
    • posted on X that "Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.
    • has criticized the end of apartheid in South Africa

    Docker Compose is really the easiest way to self-host.

    Copy a file, usually provided by the developers of the app you want to run, change some values, run docker compose up and it “just works”.

    And I say that as someone who has done everything from distro-provided packages to compiling from source, Nix, podman systemd, and currently running a full-blown multi-node distributed storage Kubernetes cluster at home.

    Just use docker compose.

    it’s not the prompt that’s the issue

    No it’s not, it’s the underlying philosophy/expectation that you want to be aware of and in control of every single package/library that’s installed on your system.

    And that is not true for the vast majority of people who are getting CachyOS as a recommendation when they search for a “Linux for gaming”.

    I think CachyOS is great, and I use it myself, in spite of the ArchLinux base, but I know the pain it brings and have consciously accepted that, and I have fallback plans: I make sure it is easy to re-install my system without losing my home dir or game files. I could even pull in all the important stuff in my home dir from my dotfiles repo.

    But this is something you have to want.

    On the other hand, I did have to compile xpadneo from source on my wife’s Mint pc in order for her to be able to use an Xbox controller, because there is no deb or PPA of it. So far for Ubuntu-based distros being “GUI only”. On Arch, you could install it from AUR through a GUI.
