    I want to like Forgejo but the name is really terrible.

    Is it “forj-joe”? Nah, that double-J sound is way too awkward.
    Do you then merge the J sounds to make “forjo”? If so, why not just call it that?
    Is it maybe “for-geh-joe”? That seems the most likely to me, but then that ignores the “build < forge” marketing on their website.

    I know it’s pretty inconsequential, but it feels weird using a tool that you don’t even know how to pronounce the name of.





  • I would say finding that the bug is in a library is worse than finding it in your own code.

    If it’s your own code, you just fix it.

    If it’s in a library you then have to go and search for issues. If there isn’t one, you then go and spend time making one and potentially preparing a minimum reproducible example. Or if you don’t do that (or it’s just unmaintained) then you have to consider downgrading to a version that doesn’t have the bug and potentially losing functionality, or even switching to another library entirely and consequently rewriting all your code that used the old one to work with the new one.

    Yeah, I’d take my own bugs over library bugs any day.







  • I tend to name mine after their physical appearance, though I’m leaning towards space-related names now.

    I’ll copy a Discord message I sent someone while explaining my naming scheme:

    in chronological order: my very old laptop was black and grey so it was Batman my first build had orange/gold fans so it was Aurum my next build was black and white so it was Mono my current build had lots of RGB so it was Nova (like supernova) my home server has the BitFenix wings logo so it was Flight my laptop is sleek and pretty speedy so it was Comet


  • I run a home server with an i5-4590 and I haven’t seen it use more than 35W. I’m still looking to upgrade to a newer but lower power CPU (ideally one of those super low wattage chips with similar or better performance like an R7 5700U or i7-1260U).

    If power usage is a concern and you don’t need much raw compute, a Pi (or similar SBC) should serve your needs just fine.

    If you need a decent middle ground, take a look at mini PCs, they tend to use efficiency-focused laptop chips which are way more powerful than an SBC but sip power compared to a full-fat system.

    Looks fine for your first website! I would change the colour of the text, though. Black on another dark colour is kinda harder to read. You can catch these problems by opening Firefox Dev Tools (F12), going to the Accessibility tab, and changing “Check for issues” to “Contrast”. It’ll list all the elements that have too low a contrast ratio.
