In reply to <a href="https://nevillepark.ca/2025/03/13/branching-out-some-github-gitlab-com-alternatives/#comment-39504">Dima Pasechnik</a>. I did! It's there as "Sourcehut" (I thought it best to use its full name).
14.3.2025 14:47Comment on Branching Out: Some Github & GitLab.com Alternatives by nevilleparkPlease add https://sr.ht/ to your list. It's built mainly by Drew DeWalt, a well-known OSS fugure, and collaborators. Based in Netherlands. It offers git, hg, mailing lists, a service like GitHub pages, a service like GitHub Actions. Rather different from gitea etc. Open source, self-hostable,etc. Not 100% free if you use their hosting, but, well, bandwidth is not free nowadays.
14.3.2025 13:55Comment on Branching Out: Some Github & GitLab.com Alternatives by Dima PasechnikThanks for putting this list together ! Anything that reminds people there are alternatives to GitHub is very very welcome indeed! \o/ I just wanted to add Radicle ( https://radicle.xyz/ ) to this list. Where Radicle differs from the other forges is that rather than a self-hosted instance, it is a peer-to-peer network and it's somewhat similar to torrents, but instead of seeding torrents, you seed git repositories. This means there is no need to create one account for each self-hosted instance you want to log onto, rather there is a single global network of all the code being hosted there. This makes it - in my opinion - a better fit for hosting a public good such as the world's Open Source Software. Disclaimer: I work on Radicle. This is clearly not an unbiased opinion. ;)
14.3.2025 06:53Comment on Branching Out: Some Github & GitLab.com Alternatives by YorgosGitHub, GitLab, and all the other major public Git forges are US-based, for-profit, and often politically problematic. But if you're willing to abandon the model of "everyone on Earth uses the same public git server", there are plenty of alternatives.
13.3.2025 16:28Branching Out: Some Github & GitLab.com AlternativesBack in May I recapped the arachnid highlights of the year to date. Since then I've found some species I had no idea occurred here, and seen some things in real life that I'd only ever read about! Here's my personal top 10 arachnid observations from the rest of 2024.

22.11.2024 04:20Wasabi, c. 2008-2024TL:DR; don’t take a fucking video; immobilize the bug; use magnification; light it up; lock focus. Plus, a caveat about ID.
30.7.2024 01:29How To Take Good Up-Close Phone Photos of BugsIn reply to <a href="https://nevillepark.ca/2022/05/23/know-your-little-red-mites-a-guide/#comment-24340">Cee</a>. There are lots of different things—not just bugs—that can cause bite-like sores or symptoms, from mosquitoes to bacterial infections to irritating plants, so I can't say if the spiders you've seen are responsible. Without photos and your geographic location, I am afraid I don't know what the spiders you've been seeing are.
27.7.2024 01:01Comment on Know Your Little Red Mites: A Guide by nevilleparkI have gotten teeny tiny red almost a clear/reddish light brown spider crawling on my arm 3 different times over the past month..kinda quick almost can't feel them..I happen to see them..not bedbugs I know..but I gotten 4 random bites on my right arm..elbow was swollen and really red..any thoughts on a non bedbug teeny red/lite brown spider that will bite..? And could potentially make bite area red and swollen? (I know not bedbugs)Thx
25.7.2024 23:00Comment on Know Your Little Red Mites: A Guide by CeeThese are actually the most helpful descriptions I’ve found trying to tell the difference between these little guys. I love it, thank you!
10.6.2024 23:18Comment on Know Your Little Red Mites: A Guide by AmandaThank you for the wonderful illustration!
25.5.2024 06:45Comment on Know Your Little Red Mites: A Guide by ItsyaplantguyThe reference, for those of you lucky enough not to recognize it. Recently I found a tiny four-legged running crab spider (family Philodromidae) in Trinity-Bellwoods and brought it home to keep temporarily until it grew its legs back. It was so small that I could keep it in a 45 mL plastic cup with a … Continue reading I Can Put My Leg Back On You Can’t: How Spiders Regrow Limbs
24.5.2024 22:01I Can Put My Leg Back On You Can’t: How Spiders Regrow LimbsEven after about ten years of spidering, every now and then I do come across arachnids that are totally new to me, or ones that I only see rarely. Here's some of the "lifers" and rarities I've come across this year so far.
15.5.2024 17:49Recent arachnid lifers & raritiesThank you for doing this. This was the only resource that I was able to find that identified my little sidewalk mite. Glad to know it’s not harmful!
In reply to <a href="https://nevillepark.ca/2019/09/17/cbc-radio-stream-urls/#comment-21157">David Pastl</a>. You're welcome! VLC even has an even more minimal mode, <code>cvlc</code>, which starts it without any interface at all. (I guess you just kill the process to quit it.)
4.5.2024 13:55Comment on CBC Radio Stream URLs by nevilleparkLately I’ve been trying to learn more about Bash and command-line tools like curl and jq. It’s just fiddling around, but it’s fun and surprisingly addictive. A few recent mini-projects: You can’t spell “Toronto City Council” without “TTY” 2mmis is a command-line interface for TMMIS, the Toronto City Council Meeting Management Information System. They revamped … Continue reading Fun With the Command Line
