  • I’ve been using Codeberg for a while now, however their servers are not always up to par. I’ve been in situations where it takes forever to load content of the code base via their website, pushing to a repo was also really slow, upwards of 30 seconds.

    I know they’ve been DDOS’d a while back, but this was about a week ago and lasted for few days.








  • Nice, used to love playing with p5 back in the day, good to have such tools for Lua which is often recommend as a beginner language.

    I wish the author did implement some built-in libraries like middleclass, that would allow people that don’t necessarily understand how metatables to fake classes in more elaborate ways than what’s showcased in the instances.lua example.




  • Most companies I’ve sent data deletion request just do it, but when they start to argue I just hit them with most ridiculous bullshit while acting like the most privileged removed until they do it my way.

    Try saying no, see what happens.
    Fearmongering, gaslighting, lawful threats, technical jargon and the word ‘rape’ are your friend.


    Just recently when requesting GDPR data deletion from UK-based company they also wanted to confirm my identity, hell they will.

    I hit them with the fact that a person controlling the e-mail address can use their ‘Forgot password’ feature to take control over the account and access my sensitive data they’re in possession of or steal my identity using their own services. I also not so kindly suggested that I’ll report them so their security practices are investigated for the safety of their customers.

    …they deleted the data without any further questions.

    PS. Not sure about UK laws, but for GDPR: Always request confirmation of the deletion and the detailed steps they’ve taken to ensuring your data has been properly erased. They’re obligated to tell you that upon request.
