Two months ago I switched from GUI tools to a terminal-first setup.
Last week I tried to go back.
I didn't even finish the setup before returning to tmux, SSH and containers.

Just tested OpenCode OpenRouter Kimi 2.7 Code.
Only a small task so far, but I really like the OpenCode TUI UX. The whole setup feels surprisingly responsive. Faster than I expected, and faster than Codex and Claude in this test.

Being an Apple user in the EU is like reading release notes with a firewall in front of them.

Moving my dev environment to a VPS might be one of the best upgrades this year.
Tailscale for access. Cloudflare tunnels for services.
Now my MacBook is mostly a terminal with a keyboard attached. The server does the work, AI agents keep running, and I can shut the laptop whenever I want.
The fun part is that I can also check on everything from my iPhone. SSH into a project, look at logs, restart services, or see what the AI is doing while standing in a queue for coffee.
48 GB RAM suddenly feels a bit excessive.
My battery is probably happier too. Instead of running containers, builds, databases, and AI tools all day, the laptop mostly renders text and sends keystrokes across the internet.

Anthropic just killed Claude Fable 5 worldwide. 3 days after launch. One US gov letter ordered it blocked for foreign nationals, so they shut it off for everyone.
If a single letter can delete a product overnight, what stops it hitting your stack next?

Everyone has a website for their tools, so do I!
Reintroducing dvm: disposable dev VMs that let you break everything without consequences.
No host mounts, no regrets.

Please stop producing new software that often!
I just finished migrating from the thing I switched to after migrating from the thing I switched to before that.
Herdr looks nice though... should I switch again?

Something happened to Codex. Since at least yesterday it's been doing things its own way and making up nonsense. It was good for a while and I even started using it more, but today I'm going back to Claude Code. 🤷♂️

Am I the only one who feels like this whole AI moment is a wild ride?
I like AI. I use it every day and I don't want to stop. But every company is now putting AI into everything, and nobody seems to care about security or privacy.
And more and more people give AI access to their whole life. It writes their blogs, makes their videos, builds their apps, talks for them, even thinks for them. And they just assume it's safe.
I'm not so sure.

I like how @northflank works. Not sure why I missed it earlier.
It feels somewhere between Render and the big clouds: more config than Render, but more power, and less complexity than AWS/Google Cloud.
With portable containers and standard services, the lock-in looks manageable too.
Much simpler than wiring everything myself with Terraform Ansible.

Alright. I'm setting up Forgejo on Hetzner for private projects.

Self-hosted #Git in 2026: #Forgejo, #Gitea or #SourceHut?
I value open-source governance, but I also care about polish, UX, Actions, OpenTofu state, security, and long-term maintenance.
Which would you choose for a small/private team, and why?

Follow-up on #Forgejo vs #Gitea:
I read more about the split, and I'm still not sure.
I understand the governance concerns around Gitea, and Forgejo’s FOSS/community direction is very appealing.
But #Gitea supports #OpenTofu state, which I need, and I don't think "open source paid hosting/support" is a bad model. Actually, it can be one of the healthier ways to fund development.
Maintainers should be paid. Good open-source tools need time, money, and boring long-term maintenance.
So I'm torn: #Forgejo feels better governance-wise, but #Gitea feels more practical for my needs today.

Forgejo is getting very tempting lately. Simple to self-host, has everything I actually use. A small Hetzner box behind a VPN would be enough.

Another npm supply chain compromise this month. A malicious postinstall hook runs with the privileges of the user running npm install. On a developer host, that means every cloned repo, every SSH key on the keyring, every token in the shell environment.

macOS only for now. Bash plus Lima YAML, small enough to audit in a single read. Feedback and pull requests welcome.
