i just wanted to drop my personal favorite self-hosted git alternative, Gogs (gogs.io). i have very modest git needs (i just need a place to host code and interact with the git client), and i think it fits the bill well.
i am not associated with it at all, i just want folks to know that self-hosting your own git service has really never been easier or better; there are so many good options, like a similar project, gitea.
if you are uncomfortable with exposing your home network to the internet, you can use tools like tailscale funnel or a reverse proxy server like caddy and a $5 VPS from any cloud host of your choosing to obscure your home IP, while still keeping the storage and the brains somewhere closeby.
imo, the only way forward for all of us to stay safe is to keep repeating a simple mantra: “let’s go back to making websites.”
Funkwhale works nice, but honestly, I am a big fan of just using mpd and piping the audio over a networked speaker, but I'm a simple boy with simple needs.

hey, this is the plot of Children of Men...
it's a random event that happens sometime in the beginning of any new game — in story, it's a military black hawk helicopter flying over the Knox County area looking for survivors.
The effect in-game is that the zombies in the world all gather around to follow the noise source, which controls and drives a gigantic crowd of zombies around where you're at. It can be very overwhelming, especially when you're just starting out and don't have much by way of structures built.
my friends and I utilize a mod that records your skills in a notebook that stays on your zombie after you die. so you actually have a motivation to go back into somewhere dangerous and clean it up.
still eagerly waiting for the stable release of the next version.
i am old in terms of internet years, and Bill Gates really is living proof that billionaires can essentially destroy the lives of thousands and thousands of people to gather their wealth, and then spend the autumn of their years choosing which countries or causes get a splash-out of the unfathomable excess, like a little kinglet.
i am happy his money helped fix stuff in the world. but that’s called “catching up to what has been expected of you for 60 years.” he does not get a cookie for working out of the Andrew Carnegie playbook.
