SourceHut is actually from Amsterdam, and has both unlisted and private repo visibility.
It's also self hostable, but I'm on the $2 tier and damn is it good.

Take tools, there's a million different options, and I don't know how to choose between them. Or the general mentality of treating it as an assistant vs the pilot. Or the massive ecosystem of skills and MCP. It just feels like a massive unexplored ocean to me. But I guess I'm just getting analysis paralysis.
I've heard Claude Code alternatives can be better for non-claude models, but again, which ones? How can I tell if a tool is good or bad when everyone has the same LLM'd readme? How can I avoid security nightmares like OpenCode when they seem so popular?
As an undergrad, I hope schools move to educating students to use LLMs in a more responsible way. You can't put the genie back in the bottle, and resisting progress is futile, might as well use the tool we now have to help students learn even faster and better (e.g., making feedback instant and not answers, helping digest or split up material, checking answers).
I know opinions about AI at (not only at) my faculty are very mixed, but I think the answer is going to be in the rational mean, just like how technorealism reacted to the internet[0].
In our last program board sitting, some teachers said that they think programming as a job will be completely irrelevant in two years, while other pushed for more adoption. And meanwhile I know of some students that are basically only passing because of LLMs, and it's bad, like "leaving claude output in markdown files and finished source code on the faculty server in /tmp because opencode did so" bad. And our first year classes completely prohibit even sharing tests or talking about the solutions, which in my opinion a) makes people extremely asocial and atomized b) doesn't prepare students for real life c) promotes dishonesty.
Still, I think our university's thinking is in a stalemate, not wanting pure AI output and useless students, while also wanting to move with the times, and I doubt it's the only one.

How do you source materials? I'm usually very picky about the material, especially if it touches my skin, and usually the heavier the better. The best T-shirts I ever owned was a military surplus made from organic cotton, and was more than twice the weight of my other T-shirts, but I couldn't find anything like it anywhere.
Do you know any good first resources about this? I'd like to give it a try.
also I came back here after three days, how did this get 713 comments all of a sudden???
But I feel very disorganized when most of my attention is on distinct one-off side projects, I want to work on something novel and big. But thanks for your suggestions. It is true that most industries begin when passion oriented people finally meet money oriented people, but most time they are separate.

I do want something related to computers because that's where I'm skilled the most, but it being mixed with something else is fine (i.e., biohacking). But computers generally are becoming stale, considering how much money has been poured into everything digital, it's going to be hard to find something novel. Maybe the next frontier is becoming an electrician?
I like the idea of having all of those within the actual VCS, mostly because with Git you need centralized services like GitHub to provide that.
But I have to ask: Is it really a good idea? Seems like feature creep motivated by the wants of a single project (SQLite).
All of those could be (albeit awkwardly) backed with a git repo and a cron job. Wiki? Just make a repo with a bunch of Markdown or this-week's-favorate-markup-language files. Ticketing & bug tracking? Again, just a Markdown file for every ticket. Embedded documentation & technical notes? Those are just special wiki pages with different attributes. Forum and chat service? Do you want your VCS to do that? I get being able to hyperlink between files and conversations, but still.
Seriously, when your one large oreo shake has 2600 calories, no wonder your obesity rate is 35% and isn't slowing. Driving to the toilet instead of walking also doesn't help. Then your hospitals get overrun with preventable diseases and healthcare gets expensive. This isn't a 'caring' problem when getting fat is the only option for most people, the way most people life is specifically designed to make you obese.
It would have been caught because this API (setters) is impossible with Rust. At best, you'd have a .set_href(String).await, which would stop the thread until the location has been updated and therefore the value stabilized. At worst, you'd have a public .href variable, but because the setter pattern is impossible, you know there must be some process checking and scheduling updates.

Just thought about something:
There are a few sides to this. There is innovation that just makes things easier but doesn't amputate, like typing machines vs word (took me a while to come up with an example, essentially just evolution). Then there are things that are so old it's useless to know them. Like making butter, sure you can do it if you want to, might be fun, but in the grand scheme of things irrelevant. Then there's stuff that is in decline but needed anyway. Like being able to read a book.
Maybe you could express this as a 2D graph, where X is how much people know it and Y is how much people need to know it.
Also, we regard 'Ch' as its own letter. So yeah, try sorting alphabetically. I'll wait.

The only downside is that I now need to juggle between two git servers that don't make mirroring easy. But if (when) Microsoft decides to do something stupid, I at least have an escape hatch.
