PSA: Migrating the https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo to Codeberg, including:
- updating thousands of links in ~970 files (readme's, media, API docs/snippets in source files, examples, wiki etc.)
- updated 215 package short links to point to new locations on Codeberg
- re-configured & re-uploaded hundreds of megabytes of package API docs to https://docs.thi.ng/ (with new backlinks to Codeberg)Re: short links, for example http://thi.ng/wasm-api is an alias for the more unwieldly package homepage URL in the larger umbrella repo on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/thi.ng/umbrella/src/branch/develop/packages/wasm-api
Along with these changes, Codeberg is also the main/default remote for this project now. I will keep the Github repo (https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella) around for a bit longer, but will add a note in some places to say that this is only a passive mirror from now on...
This exercise has taken up most of my Sunday today, for a body of work which spans close to 10 years of my life... I had migrated this large repo already in 2024, but finally got around to "make the switch". Other thi.ng projects will be migrated over the coming weeks/months...
As always, a big thank you to all the people who've been supporting this work and its maintenance. Self-promotion is absolutely not my forte and I always have prioritized putting my energy into these projects instead. But if you in any way have benefited from these varied projects and/or want to support their ongoing development, I'd highly appreciate any donations/sponsoring via:

Up to know I have not seen any USB thumb drive which can write as fast as it reads in practicality
The 64 to 256 GB thumb drives that I work with, write at about 6 to 8 Mbps when they are in sync mode
In the beginning the drive seems to lie and shows speeds that are close to the absolute speed of the USB 3 Connection. In reality is not really a lie because the Linux Operating System loves to cache it's file systems, especially if they're native, like ext4
However the file system warns you never to remove the thumb drive until it's actually done writing. If you use something like Midnight Commander it will show you that the writing speed drops all the way down to six to eight megabytes a second!
That happens on both modern systems and on Old obsolete systems with just USB 2

Did you know that #Debian is still compiled for the armel platform? That's basically ARMv5 (no FPU), which is exactly what the #Allwinner F1C100s/F1C200s have.
So yes, you can run the latest Debian (at least the userland) on these SoCs.Too bad that even 64 megabytes of RAM (F1C200s) is not enough for an apt install...

Action puzzle game: Mirror 1.4
In "Mirror, the aim is to guide two robots, which are trapped in different areas of the screen, to the exit at the same time. Created with the "Redpill" construction kit, the game runs on any Amiga with at least one megabyte of RAM. -

Catch of the Day: The 1MB Wonder! 💥💾
Hey Retro Fans!
The highlights of the day:
🪶 Off By One Browser: An absolute legend of minimalism visited us today. The Off By One Browser for Windows consists of a single standalone executable and is a tiny 1 megabyte in size. No bloated frameworks, no plugins – just pure, fast web browsing. It aligns perfectly with our philosophy!
🐉 Konqueror: The classic KDE file manager and web browser for Linux also stopped by. Just a reminder: This browser's engine (KHTML) was so groundbreaking back in the day that Apple used it as the foundation for Safari!
Whether it's tiny browser oddities or massive Amiga traffic – the Frog pond is buzzing. Keep it up!

Baby food companies in the US are apparently legally obligated to test their foods for heavy metals content and to publish the lab results on their websites. I have a colleague who is looking to collect this data, so I started looking at the Gerber website.
Not only is the data not available in bulk, the website is *actively* hostile towards scraping. Standard cookie checks, etc... are bad enough. However, here, you have to retrieve data for each UPC/Batch pair one page at a time... and the actual lab results (for **one** UPC/Batch pair, and so about 20 integer values stored in a json blob)... come along with nearly **half-a megabyte** of interface goop.
Ugh.

#bzip3 continues to amaze me:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ~~~ ~~~ 100M Apr 1 2025 outbox.json $ simplify $(bzip3 < outbox.json |wc -c) 4.57 MiB $ simplify $(xz -9e < outbox.json |wc -c) 4.69 MiB $ simplify $(zstd --ultra -22 < outbox.json |wc -c) 5.06 MiB(I didn't time it, but it was much faster than the other two)
Also, just in case anyone's curious,
simplify(poor name pick, but I couldn't think of anything better) is just a bash function for converting byte counts to an SI unit:function simplify { #Reduces a big bytes count down to megabytes or whatnot local steps num [ $1 ] || ( warn "simplify() called without parameters\n (requires a number of bytes with no unit name)"; return 1 ) steps=0 num=$1 while [[ $(echo "$num > 1024" |bc) == 1 ]] #bc has to be used because num is a float do let steps++ num=$(echo "$num/1024" |bc -l) done #Cut off after two decimal place: num=$(echo "$num" |sed 's/\(\.[0-9][0-9]\)[0-9]*$/\1/') printf "$num " case $steps in 0) echo b;; 1) echo KiB;; 2) echo MiB;; 3) echo GiB;; 4) echo TiB;; 5) echo PiB;; 6) echo EiB;; 7) echo ZiB;; 8) echo YiB;; *) echo "1024 ^ $steps bytes";; esac } -

Thunderbird plans to launch open source alternatives to Gmail, Google Calendar and Office 365
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free and open source email client, calendar, and contact application that’s been available for more than two decades. It first launched at a time when Gmail wasn’t a thing and most web-based email service providers offered only a few megabytes of storage space. But the demand for desktop-only email applications has diminished in recent years. So now the Thunderbird […]

For Data Protection Day 2026, we're taking you from Ancient Rome to now.
Our rights expanded in the Information Age to include the electronic body. Data is our DNA.
But now protections are shrinking. All while surveillance becomes industrialised, AI outstrips regulation and our institutions fall under corporate capture.
We must learn from history and course correct now.

Latest discovery is that Samsung has a browser but I've only had it for almost 12 hours now and have barely used it, so can't give an informed comment beyond it having some anti-tracking protection.Oh, I forgot to say that the download is 100 megabytes which unpacks into just over 500 megabytes!

"Just use Postgres until it breaks."
https://topicpartition.io/blog/postgres-pubsub-queue-benchmarksWe are far from that – we use #postgres to power #CATMAID for #connectomics and so far so good.
"Donald Knuth warned us in 1974 - premature optimization is the root of all evil. ... The point of this article is to show you that this “small scale” number has grown further than what people remember it to be - it can comfortably mean many megabytes per second. We are in a Postgres Renaissance for a reason: Postgres is frequently good enough. Modern NVMEs and cheap RAM allow it to scale absurdly high."

Was going through old physical photos, weeding out all the old 'nameless landscape and mountain' shots, prints with people on them that I now have no recollection of.... etc, as one does at this time of year.
Found this interesting one - that's my desk at work back in '96. The IBM tower behind the desk was the TV station's web server. The hardware stack on top was the ISDN connection to our ISP. At that time, local ISP's didn't offer web hosting of the kind we wanted/needed.
If you want a giggle, check out the Wayback Machine snapshot of the site.

Also, the two, 2TB drives I ordered? With shipping, $45.
Y'all I remember saving up $200 to purchase a 1.2gig drive.
More than that, I remember a cousin who has 1 megabyte of storage and we were all like, "How will you ever fill that up?"

CW: experience with mobile carriers
We have five cellphones here at HyperTwin Manor -- four people and one spare phone.
Up until last year or so, we were using Republic Wireless because at the time we first signed up (2017) what they offered was pretty progressive. They're also based near us (Raleigh) which, although it doesn't exactly make them a "local business", nonetheless seemed like a plus. (I mean, why ship those wireless megabytes all the way across the country from Silicon Valley if I can get them from closer?*)
Then last year or so, they got bought up by Dish Network, and the enshittification process began. To start with, they dropped support for calls-over-wifi, giving the justification that most modern phones supported it in hardware -- which my main phone doesn't, and it immediately began to be difficult to send and receive texts from inside the office.
So I started looking around, and found Mint Mobile -- which offered (at the time) 4GB/mo instead of RW's 1GB for (effectively) $5 less per month ($15). They sent a spare "try out out" SIM with one of my original orders, and that became the spare phone.
After thinking it over for a bit, I started the process of switching our phones over -- but part of RW's Enshittification Process means that you can no longer get the PIN to transfer your number out by going to Republic's web site; you have to call them. (Can you say "customer lock-in", boys and girls?)
Folks, I have phone-phobia, so this was a BFD. I had the spoons to do it for my phone and (eventually) one of the kids' phones (the one who kept using up his 1GB accidentally), and then I ran out of steam.
...and then just this past month, Republic (and Dish? dunno) got bought up by Boost Mobile. We were sent new SIMs and told that the price would now be $25 (another $5 more, making it $10 more than Mint).
I have no real prior experience with Boost, and a vaguely negative impression of them, so my first thought was "okay, now we really need to move the last 2 phones over) -- but apparently the plan we're on is this new(?) service, Boost Infinite, which has "unlimited bandwidth"... which usually means "we don't cut you off completely after the limit, just throttle you down to liek a bad DSL connection in the rain", but I can find no indication that there's actually any limit.
So... even though it's an extra $20/mo, I'm willing to give it a try and see how the service is.
I figure there's got to be a catch somewhere. It does still allow the phones to be used as hotspots, but it's possible there's some kind of throttling on that ("unlimited" data plans tend to throttle hotspots or disallow them, in my experience). If there isn't, then we could in theory use a phone as a backup internet if Spectrum goes out (...so there's really got to be a catch, somewhere).

This is humor. It is permitted to giggle.

The "Astra Monitor" lightweight system resources monitoring #GNOMEShell extension is seriously awesome.
Very useful to keep an eye on my system (without having GNOME System Monitor running all the time) to catch any runaway process eating excessive amounts of CPU or RAM over long periods of uptime, or to remind myself that I really need to free disk space because I only have about 600 megabytes left out of 2 terabytes :blobsweats:
