I'm not a fan of SourceHut, in particluar their lack of https git push and Drew DeVault's general aggressiveness (his mastodon (over at cmpwn.com) used to have more rants and trolling but got nuked.)

But I wish them well in response to their news about their recent hardship. My preferences aside, things like DDoS or logistics nightmare is not something anyone should experience.

JsDelivr's 2024-05-02 outage mentioned GlobalPing, and I took a quick look at it.

It looked pretty nice, except after about a week of sporadic tests, most of the probes there seems to be AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, Vultr, and other datacenter network.

They do have an API that responds with a list of all available nodes, so let's do some calculation from this. (The full result made at 2024-05-10T09:19:46Z, and is recorded at P100.)

• datacenter-network: 832
• eyeball-network[^1]: 183
• total nodes: 1015

So, it looks like datacenter network is about 81.97% of the whole nodes, while the eyeball network is 18.03%. I wouldn't really consider 18% of nodes in regular residential/business network to be enough for measuring ordinary users' traffic.

I'm not really a big fan of arc, but I want to preserve 'one idea is one commit' method, and I don't want to install yet another server-side software (I mean, gerrit) and especially not surrender to GitHub/GitLab style of 'one idea is one branch' model, so I'm sort of stuck here with arc.

agit-workflow in forgejo looks better than GitHub/GitLab, but I'm yet to test them substantially.

I find it pretty hilarious to see US people making a fuss about the idea of former presidents standing in a criminal trials -- We've done this before, and we've delivered those criminals justice and sent them to jail. (Albeit wrong decision to pardon them has been made...)

Being an ex-president does not make you immune from your crimes, and it should not be made so.

I'd rather use Forgejo rather than GitLab. Take this for example - the feature GitLab charges for US$348 per year per person ¹ is... whopping free in forgejo.

해외 가면 집으로 편지 보내는 취미(?) 가 있는데, 설마 IC교통카드 되겠어~ 하고 마음의 준비를 하고 들어가는데... 교통카드가 된다? 일본이? 이걸...?

Because some people asked why I refuse to use any product [^1] utilizing UCEprotect (even the Lv.1):

I see their business strategy… not morally right. (Compilation and observation from 3rd party below included.)

Some people (mostly provider from EU [^1] where GDPR is their law) asks me to comply with GDPR in my services; while their law states their law extends to me for the reason that I may happen to handle EU person's data, that does not make sense to me because it is too wide of an extraterritorial application of law, and that I already have my own 'Personal Information Protection Act' in my country, since 2012.

Also, most of my service is generally targeted at Korean people, and rest of the World is accepted just because there are either Korean (either as a nationality, or as a spoken language) is present everywhere — and I also travel outside Korea. After all, EU has no means to force me to court in EU country and face penalty, other than by my voluntary submission.
