What self-hosted Git forge do people like these days for personal use? (and why? I'm always interested in why)
From what I've seen it sounds like the consensus is Forgejo > Gitea > Gogs, but I would like to know if I'm misreading the situation; or, if there are any other promising up-and-comers.

Apologies for the break in blogging, but I've spent the past month preparing for, and then giving, my 'VanSpoof and F**dG3ar' talk at the 2025 Open Hardware Summit.

My latest blog post: Next Trains
https://mikecoats.com/next-trains/
My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.

Build local networks with decentralised solutions that are #OpenSource #FreeSoftware and based on #OpenStandards not because you want to fight BigCorp, but because you want to help your neighbours. Focus on solutions, not on problems you can't really solve. Build bridges, not walls. Deal?

My latest blog post: VanSpoof - Prototype 1 - Hardware
https://mikecoats.com/van-spoof-prototype-1-part-1/
Let's look at building a prototype PCB for my VanSpoof project. I really want to get better at soldering SMD components, so I'm going to try to use as few through-hole parts as I can get away with.

🚀 Hello everyone!
We are working on something pretty exciting. We want to bring Pixelix to Apple devices! Exactly the same app with same functionality, same design and running natively on iOS (Made possible by Kotlin Multiplatform for those who know).
But for that we need to buy at least one MacBook. 💻 (2/4) ->

It was an honor to speak at the #FOSDEM. Thank you for the possibility to share my message on how to lead change from closed source to #opensource and why contributing to this transition actually matters more than ever.
In case you missed the talk and would like to join the #FOSS revolution, I'm happy to share the recording: https://video.fosdem.org/2026/aw1120/7YMJST-how-to-lead-change-to-open-source.av1.webm

Creo que esta herramienta la vi por aquí (no recuerdo a quién) pero la he probado ahora y está genial.
Es un optimizador de imágenes #opensource que comprime #imágenes en el mismo navegador, sin enviar datos a nadie, de manera rápida y efectiva, con varias opciones (mayor o menor compresión, limitar tamaño, elegir tipo de imagen...).
Si lo queréis autoinstalar el código está en Github, pero yo dejo aquí el link donde usar la app directamente.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' OpenSSH to 9.9p2 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27712
GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running. Hopefully they will be OK (Update 2 out of 3 have completed successfully, which is a good sign).
I tested locally without issues, but I also build against LibreSSL locally, whereas GitHub CI and MacPorts' Build Bots I think default to OpenSSL.
This release is to address some vulnerabilities identified by Qualys and other less critical bugs.
More details from upstream here:
https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html#9.9p2
Of particular note:
" Fix CVE-2025-26465 - ssh(1) in OpenSSH versions 6.8p1 to 9.9p1
(inclusive) contained a logic error that allowed an on-path
attacker (a.k.a MITM) to impersonate any server when the
VerifyHostKeyDNS option is enabled. This option is off by default.
* Fix CVE-2025-26466 - sshd(8) in OpenSSH versions 9.5p1 to 9.9p1
(inclusive) is vulnerable to a memory/CPU denial-of-service related
to the handling of SSH2MSGPING packets. This condition may be
mitigated using the existing PerSourcePenalties feature.
Both vulnerabilities were discovered and demonstrated to be exploitable
by the Qualys Security Advisory team. We thank them for their detailed
review of OpenSSH."
If I read everything correctly, these vulnerabilities primarily only impact the Portable OpenSSH releases (which is what MacPorts uses). However, OpenBSD has also issued the following errata to mitigate one of the issues as it also appears to impact OpenBSD users:
"008: SECURITY FIX: February 18, 2025 All architectures
sshd(8) denial of service relating to SSH2MSGPING handling. ssh(1) server impersonation when VerifyHostKeyDNS enabled.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem."
Source code patch for OpenBSD here:
https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/7.6/common/008_ssh.patch.sig
Having written as much, it appears as if the main OpenSSH version for OpenBSD is still 9.9, so I am not going to make a submission for undeadly.org Other editors reading this are welcome to though, I just kind of have a lot of other stuff on my plate at present.
As usual, I also have too much going on in my life to want more responsibilities such as commit access within MacPorts, so it's up to someone else to merge it.
Update #2: I also decided to be a good Samaritan and reported the issue to Apple. Not that they have ever acknowledged my efforts for such things nor paid me from their bug bounty program in years of doing similar things. Because, OFC, Apple can't spare a penny to anyone like me. Maybe Qualys already reported it to them anyway (though they would have no obligation to do so, they did find the vulns and reported them upstream as would be expected).

My main mini pc Gigabyte, which came with a under dimensioned CPU / GPU cooler has kicked the bucket...
It's never performed well due to overheating.
Thanks for the Enshittification of hardware Gigabyte.
Now I have no computer anymore and no finances to purchase a new one, in the near future.
I need a computer to do my remote work, so the circle is now broken.
I also use the computer to do my Open Source programming, my hardware & software Research. Another broken circle.
Of course I'm calm and I have a <plan van aanpak NL>
