I lost my mum nearly 4 weeks ago to cancer.

This was the third time, and the second metastasis. This time round, the spread was very advanced and encompassed her internal organs, even surrounding the port catheter.

She knew this time would be her last, so she tried to help us prepare. But it wasn’t enough. It’s never enough. I guess my emotions are still raw that I’m struggling to work and keep to life’s commitments but I try. My mother’s resilience is embodied in what she taught me as a young child through to adulthood.

This time, only a month and a week ago, she had lost too much weight for another round of chemo. The medical intervention was purely palliative: CSCI and fluids.

She passed away at 0929, not long after my father arrived after I had spent the night in hospital with her. The last thing she asked me for that morning was a sip of tea.

Both of the headline sentences on the home pages tell me they’re self-hosted.

They both also have cloud options, one focussing more on large scale and features I don’t care about, the other others some sort of hosted instance that’s private.

Sorry, doesn’t help me

Why not Gitea over Forgejo, which is what Forjego seems to be forked from?

That said, looking at recent releases, there are nice things from both, and if I wasn’t running GHES, I’d be stuck to choose between the two

Tailscsle was never the unlock for me, but I guess I never was the typical use case here.

I have a 1U (or more), sitting in a rack in a local datacenter. I have an IP block to myself.

Those servers are now publicly exposed and only a few ports are exposed for mail, HTTP traffic and SSH (for Git).

I guess my use case also changes in that I don’t use things just for me to consume, select others can consume services I host.

My definition here of self-hosting isn’t that I and I only can access my services; that’s be me having a server at home which has some non critical things on it.

Erm, isn’t this normal annual stuff?

When I was a manager at Amazon, I asked my engineers to keep a list of what they were proud of throughout the year, as it’d be used in annual and mid year reviews..

This was completely vibe coded looking at it

Of course, no commercial ones like Outlook are on the list…

The OSS features are missing a lot from the one time purchase, correction, subscription only.

They offered Plane One for about a year and but for $799 ish, then killed it in March this year, with the only options now subscription only.

Seeing it get rolled into a single IRM is a good thing. That IRM is cloud-only is not.

I do feel that Grafana are slowly becoming more cloud-first, regardless of that a lot of work is done in OSS. Even if I look at the blog, most content there is about Grafana Cloud. The "Grafana LGTM Stack news" section isn't navigable.

With Opsgenie shutting down, and I see that DataDog releasing their on-call feature; maybe migrating away from the LGTM solution might be a whole thing if there's nothing to replace OnCall; not that it would be easy, mind you.

That’s not a mail client, it’s a GMail client

What type of registry? GitHub packages?

Is your partner not following the signs saying where to tap in?

I’m definitely in the category, however, the job situation is so dire that if I quit my job, there’s nothing to replace it.
