  • GitHub is good enough to people keep using it. With the exception of the AI-induced downtimes last month, other platforms have as many problems as GH does, but GH gets the bad rep because it’s the one everyone uses and has an opinion about.

    Despite old problems that still annoy me, they actually have an impressive and unmatched set of features too, so one can’t move away without some compromise. For the most part, you might find Forgejo/Codeberg and others to meet your needs, but it’s going to take a long time to match GitHub’s maturity in some things like code search.

    Jesus, there’s so much FUD in that gist. A lot of information out of date and emotional tone to the brim. Makes you wonder who’s putting that much time and effort to support an outdated system like x11 and what they gain from that.

    The reality is that the main desktop managers, and by extension the most popular distros are abandoning x11, so that’s just a silly hill to die on.






  • I’d just take it out if it’s removable. If you really care about keeping it on during power outages, I’d get an actual UPS to have router and potentially other equipment also plugged in, because I don’t see a “remote” laptop on its own as being very useful without at least the local network up.

    if you decide to leave it plugged in, you can configure it to stop charging at e.g. 80% and charge it again at e.g. 30%, that way it keeps a percentage that will extend the battery life.
