Me: I'd like to buy a vegetarian sausage. Any recommendations?
You: Have you considered raising your own pigs and learning how to butcher them?
Me: Errr⦠no. That's nothing like what I want. Anyway, how hard is it to keep pigs?
You: I don't know. I've never done it. But I found a forum post from 2014 which says its pretty easy.

Thinking of moving on from GitHub - I already have a GitLab and Codeberg presence.
But I find both of them dissatisfying for two reasons.
1. I can't host in my own domain. I don't want to run/maintain a git instance. But I'd like to use git.edent.tel - so I can keep the URL but swap provider if necessary.
2. Lack of community / discoverability. Both GL & CB let new users sign in with GH, but that's still a bit of a barrier.

Here's an interesting (to me) question about #GDPR.
I've asked BSky for a copy of all my Direct Messages. I assume they will provide everything I've sent as it is data I've generated.
What I'm less sure about is whether messages sent *to* me would be in scope of GDPR.
Any thoughts?
