I’ve posted photos daily for 2 years now and I’m getting reasonable levels of likes/reposts. Judging from the stuff I’ve heard from other folks, these levels have fallen a lot from the site’s heyday, but there’s still a whole bunch of users. Just a hunch, but I guess the Twitter/Facebook shenanigans probably drove more people back to Tumblr, too.

Well that’s the neat part, you don’t! If you post on Pixelfed you’re already on Mastodon.

…I suppose you can reshare it if you want. Me, I just point people to my Pixelfed account on my Mastodon profile and vice versa.

Yeah, I just tried upgrading my Gitea Windows instance to Forgejo via Docker, and it actually works pretty much as easily as it did before. Fantastic! Might just leave it here instead of shoving it all in the VM - I can always do that later if it’s necessary. Having a full VM does have upsides, but in this particular instance this is definitely good enough.

Heh, your comment actually made me finally go and resolve a problem I’ve had since I got this laptop in 2020. I didn’t have SVM virtualisation acceleration enabled because that made Windows unable to boot somehow. A bit of twiddling after, it finally did! VirtualBox runs! Docker runs!

…but why would I use Docker for something like this. Might as well blow the dust off of my FreeBSD virtual machine and run Forgejo there!

What’s the latest on Forgejo’s Windows builds? Last I checked there was no Windows build due to no volunteers for build/test - Gitea’s old build stuff should still be good.

Which is a mild shame because Gitea’s Windows version was an insanely simple way to run it if you are a solo dev on Windows and need a private Git site. Drop the binary on an USB hard drive, run it on terminal, boom, done.

(Currently contemplating just setting up a Raspberry Pi server.)
