i did some research, and apparently this format is officially called “coolyori”, which sounds like “cool yuri”, which is very based.
also, i’ve ditched imagefilp! i found the original meme on knowyourmeme and cleaned it up a bit using pixelorama and krita (it’s perfectly square now, and the dividing lines are pixel-perfect. i also fixed the background, which was very noisy, since that makes it difficult to recolour).
i got the logos from the wikimedia commons.
Lovely meme upres. Also gitlab is cool too. You can even self-host it, if you’re masochistic enough.
I work with GitLab a lot. I think it’s better for organizations than using GitHub, but my SW Engineer Spidey sense gives me death spiral vibes.
They’ve swallowed the AI Kool-Aid and are redesigning the UI to push their Chatbot on you (disabled by my org fortunately, but I still see it). They are feature creeping the fuck out of their already bloated product and are engineering features specifically to keep lots of usefull stuff behind the paid tiers, which are getting more expensive.
It’s fine for institutional use if you have sane admins, but long-term I 100% bet on Forgejo.
We use gitlab (free) for our organization and have definitely noticed the feature creep. It’s a little worrying, and the software has become quite heavy.
Just realized this is also how I feel about Element.
Forgejo is much nicer.
You can selfhost Forgejo (the backend of Codeberg) as well. I personally don’t like GitLab; it gives me the same “look at us we’re a new walled-garden” vibes that Proton and Mozilla give me. But, to each their own.
Forgejo runs on a shoe box and and is practically maintenance free.
Gitlab very much does not.
I like gitlab as a user but I have to bow to practical considerations.
I think that might be at least somewhat intentional. They’d rahter you pay them than selfhost.
Oh yeah, they don’t have a lot of incentives to clean up the decade old mess of Ruby scripts they are dependent on.
Do you know any good alternatives to Proton for e-mail? Preferably with the option to bring my own address. I’ve heard that self hosting can be a bit of an issue for e-mail…
Been using Migadu for a few years now, never had any issues with them. They are less than 1€/month if you apply for the student discount
Posteo has been really great for me so far. The only thing missing is custom domains, but that’s because of their privacy focus.
edit: whoops someone else already mentioned it
edit: thundermail looks decent-ish. i might be able to get you into the early access program
startmail is really great! some nice features:
mailbox.org
Not sure if they allow custom domains, but posteo is great. I also heard good things about mailbox.
Posteo does not allow custom domains. I would recommend the mxroute lifetime plan, but I don’t know the ethics etc. of the company(I got mine for around 80€)
Check out infomaniak. Also Swiss.
Tuta is alright
