It wasn’t until recently when I checked for an alternative that I started to realize. The one who’s starting to take over everything Git-related is called Gitea. Let’s start from the beginning. The need for a self-hosted Git service It started with a need to store my personal notes. Even if most notes probably can be public I sometimes writes personal ones that I don’t want to have public. /article/clean-architecture-will-change-how-you-build-apps/ Sun, 31 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /article/clean-architecture-will-change-how-you-build-apps/ When you set out to build a great new business application. You put some good ol’ white boarding to use, check the best tech stack for the job and start coding. Everything is fine, until some years later when the application doesn’t feel so great anymore. Maybe the application has started to spiral out of control and performance has gotten worse or hard to manage. The tech stack you choose has aged poorly and receives few or no updates and needs to be updated but that requires a big refactor. /article/degoogle-your-android-phone-with-lineageos/ Thu, 19 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /article/degoogle-your-android-phone-with-lineageos/ It’s happening a lot in alternative OS for Android. Promising distribution’s such as CalyxOS and GrapheneOS offers very interesting features with big focus on privacy and security. We also have PureOS a pure linux distro that’s not based on AOSP but tries to use desktop linux apps on the phone. For me it still not viable way as a daily driver. The major drawback is that even that they are interesting they are only supported for Pixel phones (or specific phones like Librem for PureOS). /article/time-to-move-from-ubuntu-to-fedora/ Sat, 19 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /article/time-to-move-from-ubuntu-to-fedora/ Ubuntu has been my daily driver for quite some time now. When I migrated from Windows it was a big step just going into the linux world and I picked Ubuntu as my first choice. The Ubuntu has served me well since then. But from time to time I felt nudged that maybe Ubuntu is not the best distro after all. I excused myself that, yes, Ubuntu is the most used distro so there must be a reason why it’s better, right? /article/better-performance-with-emacs-native-compilation/ Thu, 29 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /article/better-performance-with-emacs-native-compilation/ I recently stumbled upon Emacs native compilation. As native sounds like good I had to try it out. If you also want to try it here’s a quick guide how to compile natively. We can find some hints on emacswiki but lets walk through it in detail on an Ubuntu system. First if you compiled Emacs by source before make sure to uninstall it. This can be made with the `make uninstall` command. /article/host-all-your-personal-data-in-nextcloud-with-kubernetes/ Sun, 21 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /article/host-all-your-personal-data-in-nextcloud-with-kubernetes/ If you want to be clean with your privacy the problem how to store your files will soon become a problem. Maybe you already store your data in Google with images in Google Photos and files in Google Drive. There’s many services that claim to be private but the best thing is of course to host it yourself. You don’t want to sacrifice convenience and maybe it’s scary that it will become a big hassle to make your own hosting. /article/elon-musk-does-he-really-make-sense/ Tue, 09 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /article/elon-musk-does-he-really-make-sense/ I had a weird feeling about Elon Musk for a long time now. I like his ideas and when he talks everything sounds perfect. But when I look at what actually happens something is off. When I look close enough what Elon Musk actually does it doesn’t really make sense. Tesla The first thing that planted a seed in my head is his view on the climate. Elon claims in many different ways that he cares for the climate. /article/why-emacs-can-become-your-favorite-editor/ Sat, 06 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /article/why-emacs-can-become-your-favorite-editor/ If you ask someone if they heard of Emacs they will probably say; “Yeah, I remembered it when people used it long time ago”. But most people will look at you with a bushy thing going on in their face. My first experience with Emacs was when I studied. The teachers wrote lab-instructions: “Open your favorite editor and follow the instructions. We will assume that you choose Emacs. If you didn’t choose Emacs, good luck, your on your own! /article/the-refreshing-endgame/ Wed, 17 Feb 2021 22:12:00 +0100 /article/the-refreshing-endgame/ So, I just watched the The Endgame 2050. Yes, before you ask, this documentary is exactly what it sounds like. “How will the world be at an end around year 2050”. It’s another one of these climate awareness and vegan promoting documentaries that we all love and hate. Even with its surprisingly low IMDb rating of 5.4 (that’s low even for these ones). It came out better on me than I expected.
