  • Ditching Obsidian and building my own

    As I mentioned in a previous post - you can use "git" without Github by hosting an instance of the open-source Gitea service.

  • Live Syncing to a Git Repository with a VS Code Extension
    8 projects | dev.to | 9 Feb 2025
    As mentioned in the last post, I keep my notes in git repositories. I originally used Obsidian for years as my note-taking application of choice after migrating away from Google Keep, using the vast library of community plugins (namely obsidian-livesync and obsidian-git) to back up and sync my notes on an interval to my 3 remotes; GitHub, my private Gitea instance for my private "second brain" type notes, and my Otterwiki instance (a wiki that runs on a git server of markdown files).

  • Gitea 1.22 is the last version to allow a transparent ugprade to Forgejo
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Dec 2024
    I can't say what Forgejo has over Gitea, but I can tell you Forgejo is missing everything from the 888 merged PRs in Gitea 1.23: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.23.0-rc0

    Repo license support, integrated Arch package repository, automatic issue suggestions, and the new review+homepage UIs would be notable ones for me.

    See this issue: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029

    For years, "self-hosting" Gitea wasn't done because it was missing a bunch of useful collaboration features. Now, it looks like that gap has been closed. All of the specific features mentioned in that issue seem to have been fixed, and the big remaining task is figuring out below to actually migrate all the existing data out of GitHub -- which doesn't seem to be super high on the priority list.

  • Gitea is charging $$ for open-source contributions

    We're not, and they're still in the process of discussion. It seems a bit early to fork and witch-hunt [0]:

    > So clarification here: you asked me about that, but I haven’t been able to respond to you due to my illnesses and I’m just getting back on my feet now. So it’s not that it hasn’t been well received, it’s that I’ve been physically unable to respond to you.

  • Go's old $GOPATH story for development and dependencies
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 May 2024
    Yeah, I'm actually doing that with Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/

    Some people went with the forgejo fork: https://forgejo.org/ though Gitea itself was a fork of Gogs, if I remember correctly: https://gogs.io/

    I also ran GitLab in the past: https://about.gitlab.com/ but keeping it updated and giving it enough resources for it to be happy was troublesome.

    There's also GitBucket: https://gitbucket.github.io/ and some other platforms, though those tend to be a little bit more niche.

    Either way, there's lots of nice options out there, albeit I'd still have to admit that just using GitHub or cloud GitLab version would be easier for most folks. Convenience and all.

    Same [1]. Zoom being outsourced to the implementing platform is one major pain-point. That example from us has grown in size.

    We are clearly using the wrong tool for a diagram of this complexity, but the practicality of seeing commit changes in the diff, what property was changed by whom and instantly having the visual feedback in the Pull Request is just way too useful to use a "proper" tool.
