This may sound terse, but I’m just trying to respect your time:

1. You don’t need a server to start using git
2. You don’t need a forge to host a git repository (gitweb works fine for indexing, reading, and cloning). Gitea, gitlab, forgejo, etc are all forges designed for full multiuser development with kaban boards, issue trackers, and CI pipelines.
3. If you aren’t publishing anything then just play around locally with an IDE plugin for git or one of the listed GUIs https://git-scm.com/tools/guis

If you ever do feel like publishing your work, it’s just a git remote add and git push away.

Yeah, wasn’t the security community just complaining about the number of CVEs published recently which were just unfiltered bug reports?

There are users that still swear by cron, but on modern systems a systemd timer is generally advised.

I remember Noita specifically had some odd behavior. Let me see if I can find that thread again.

Update: I didn’t leave a lot of information for myself. Just to install lib32-nvidia-utils if you are on arch. I think this was specifically due to the way they were doing particle effects though, so it’s probably unrelated.

This is one of the few conspiracy theories I have to back because it’s just so cool conceptually

Flit isn’t awful, but it’s still a little disappointing that it expects an explicit version string from the package and can’t take one from the pyproject.toml, but maybe that’s changed now

If the initramfs is using systemd, it’s actually able to look up the root (by label) and ESP partitions (by guid) automatically. GRUB can also detect the ESP and enumerate UKI images. There’s still some assumptions being made, but it’s cleaner than ever.
