That's crazy and genius!

The way I understand it, there's 2 use cases for a VPN, with different concerns and providers:
- having access to your private home network from anywhere, through an encrypted tunnel (Tailscale, Wireguard on the router, etc)
- having your outgoing traffic to the internet go through an anonymized exit node so that your ISP can not watch or sell what you are doing (ProtonVPN, Mullvad VPN, etc)
Is Tailscale fit for the second? I thought not, as the exit node is not an anonymized VPN server but one of your own machines.
I agree!
I think that we will keep having a mixup of "Buy European", "Boycott US" and "Privacy" because of the typical overlap of reasons why consumers change their behavior. I really like the visualisations that acknowledge this difference and indicate which alternatives satisfy which reasons for wanting to switch away from American providers.
Is privacyguides wrong?
Codeberg is one of the largest Forgejo instances, run by a German non-profit, and is where Forgejo is developed. It also has a hosted Actions runner (Woodpecker CI) and is pretty close to Github overall.
There is one important feature difference: it does not allow for private closed-source software. Only temporarily private repos.
Check out this blog for a Github -> Codeberg migration story:
Interesting approach but looks like this ultimately ends up:
- being a lot of babysitting / manual work
- blocking a lot of humans
- not being robust against scrapers
Anubis seems like a much better option, for those wanting to block bots without relying on Cloudflare:

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that!
Makes sense though. Vim plugins exist so anything is possible. Neovim having native support for LSP and DAP makes it a lot easier though.
Do you mean Neovim?
Surely you aren't comparing a flat text editor to an IDE that has language server support, debuggers and refactoring tools?

I bet that 1234 is used more often because of the 4-character minimum, like PIN codes on debit cards. It's 4 characters so it's safe. 123, on the other hand, is not safe, because it is 3 characters. /s
My solar inverter admin interface has a certain 4-digit password. So I wanted to change it to secure it, and found out that it only allows 4-digit passwords. Luckily the access point can be set up with a higher entropy password though (it is constantly advertised and had a very "secure" 8-digit password by default, I think you can guess which one)
