March 3rd 2026 - A few musings

The website itself now has AI integrated into it. Mainly just to ensure a never-ending pile of random quotes to display. GitLab is gone! Forgejo is back and now with its own CI/CD. Meaning I can keep my "let me push the website source to the server to build and deploy it automatically" workflow. Which is great, isn't it? Who doesn't love a good lazy setup that does things for you? Forgejo gives me lightweight git hosting without skimping on the features. I maintain a self-hosted git service only because Git is popular and I have code that I share with others. I'm also setting up a copy of my self-hosted Fossil setup on this system along with the dashboard I built for it.

Let's talk about some upcoming bits and pieces for this whole setup. I plan on making my hosted Fossil webservice available. I will also be putting more things up as Fossil repos. Don't worry, my Git isn't going anywhere. Nothing says I can't do both and double-dip though, right? I plan on adding more Fossil-related content as well. I want to show folks that just because Git is popular, doesn't mean it's your only option. I do think people should try out things other than Git to see what's out there and how it all works. Who knows, you might find something really cool—kind of like I did when I was introduced to Fossil by someone from the SQLite project.

Also, I encourage people to take a peek at the blog I run here. Yes, I know it is a bit sparse and I've not done tons of posting, but it is something I plan on expanding. I have more tweaks and features planned for it to make it look and work a bit better overall. Also, any crazy ideas Grok gives me may very well be acted on. Maybe Grok gets to chime in on that a little. I'm not sure what else I will offer at this moment. I'd love to offer something interesting to the open source community—not sure what yet.
