One minute read with several good points that hadn't occurred to me before.

I read somewhere that GoPros and other action cameras are one of the least used purchases, so I figured "that should mean there's plenty on eBay". So grabbed up second hand bargain, played around with it for a couple of weeks, bought some extra batteries and other accessories, and since then it's sat in the cupboard except for a single occasion.

Turns out you don't need an action cam if you're not getting any action.

No one's mentioned Forgejo yet? Solid git and artifact repository.

Coming soon to self-driving cars: Grandad comes to visit from Kansas, but he's been dead for five hours.

Forgejo - actively developed open source. It's what powers Codeberg. Easy to set up and manage with Docker. I moved to it from Gogs and skipped Gitea after reading about the forks.

+1 for the main risk to my service reliability being me getting distracted by some other shiny thing and getting behind on maintenance.

Just squirt him with the water bottle if he starts asking questions like this.

It's mind-bogglingly convenient, especially compared to the before times. Consider donating to them if you can.

I keep learning things about her (eg her author interviews) that make me like her better.

Forgejo + Tailscale. Forgejo is the app behind Codeberg so it's battle tested. I switched to it from Gitea after the controversy.

Me too. I've been carrying it around in my head as "the time we listened to scientists, and almost everyone worked together on some short term pain for worldwide long term gain". I was even hoping we might do something like that again.

I mean, yes, I could. But I'm committed to the #selfhosted life where I spend hours building unnecessarily complicated systems to make my life easier in small ways.

Are you posting the most recent one into the middle, or squooshing them up to fit them inside the most recent one?

Tailscale is a very cool way of seamlessly creating a private network spread out geographically. Devices sign into the Tailnet from anywhere. It's very big in the selfhosted community (it has a generous free tier). For example my home servers are signed in, so I'm able to stream from my media server to my phone over my private Tailnet tunneled through the internet. I also have an offsite backup location with another server connected to the Tailnet for accepting automated backups.

The underlying technology is Wireguard. It is very smart about figuring out the most effective route - If I'm on my laptop in my home wifi, trafffic from my servers is direct, if I'm away somewhere, it's piped though the net securely. What Tailscale adds is ease of setup and native apps for each device.

The privacy angle is that I'm able to get rid of all the cloud services I used to rely on. For example I don't want my CCTV system connected to a cloud provider, but with Tailnet I can connect to my cameras over the internet without having to expose the system to a data mining corporation.

This. When your mass is so small, you live in a very different world than we do - momentum and gravity are tiny forces on you, but others such as air resistance and static are huge. Additionally they don't have the sort of inner-ear positioning system we do - so no real sense of "up" and "down" that would be recognizable to us - so probably the inevitable tumbling motion as you are sucked out of the window would not be disorientating to the fly the way it would be to a big animal.

So the answer is they will likely be fine. From their point of view the blob of air they are flying around in gets sucked out the window and they are just traveling in it. I imagine they would notice the acceleration, but it's a tiny force on them. The sudden distortion to the block of air (being stretched out to fill the sudden low pressure zone outside of the car window) would be a big deal to the fly, but I don't think enough to damage them.
