A couple of years ago, I posted about how I was mirroring some GitHub repositories on tildegit. Since then, GitHub has continued to deteriorate, with problems such as: feature bloat, over-engineering, slow response times when loading content, real ID verification for some features. So now I’m moving further into tildegit. I’ve started a couple of… Continue reading Further into tildegit

Anyhow, the recent lack of maintenance has been catching up… Continue reading Offpunk

I have been… Continue reading Tildegit
