FTR. The reports I have seen have always made it clear that Mullvad has two owners/founders/CEOs. And while the donations may be private, they obviously come from money earned as part of being one of the founder/owner/CEO of Mullvad and thus raises questions on corporate responsibility.

If you go to their release page, you will see two versions listed. The current stable release (13.0) and the explicitlly marked LTS version (11), both with clearly visible end of support dates. Not sure how much simpler it can get :)

I guess not, but I didn't take the time to go through teh key generation for my homelab.jhw domain just yet.

No. Both MacOS and iOS happily resolve and connect to the machines in my homelab.jhw domain. I did add the root cert of my CA (Certificate Authority) to the trust store on MacOS and iOS, so I can also enjoy TLS connections. Scroll to the "Add the certificate" part of https://jan.wildeboer.net/2025/08/Create-SMIME-Cert-stepca/ for the HOWTO that worked for me.

Author here. I used the homelab.jhw mainly as part of my tests and experiments with my own certificate authority and to avoid going into split horizon DNS setup.

Sure. Constructing the case to shoot yourself in the foot is not a big problem. But in reality things mostly just work. I’m happily running a bunch of services behind a (nginx) reverse proxy as rootless containers. Forgejo, the forgejo runner to build stuff, uptime-kuma and more on a bunch of RHEL10 machines with SELinux enabled.

FYI: Just last Friday there was a call/meeting to coordinate and build out the federation efforts in Forgejo. More work is coming and more help is appreciated! There will be a presentation at FOSDEM on this topic and there is a matrix room dedicated to Forgejo Federation.

After my struggles with trying to keep Gitlab CE (Community Edition) up and running (it needs a lot of CPU and memory) I switched to Forgejo and have not been disappointed. It runs as a rootless container and uses almost nothing, memory and CPU wise. Updating it has been a simple podman pull that JustWorks(tm).

It now also runs actions that keep my static websites updated by running Jekyll etc.

I really like it to have my own forge that can import repos, issues etc from other forges like GitHub, Gitlab etc. and I am looking forward to the upcoming ActivityPub based integration to the wider fediverse.

Having a decentralised, but connected approach to code hosting is what I always wanted to have and now it’s (almost) there.

Red Hatter speaking. You can be quite succesful with GPL licensed code. #justsayin

“Bad implementation of GDPRs information rights” would be the more correct but less clickbaity headline IMHO.

The funny twist being that these bad implementations are a GDPR violation too and can be punishable under GDPR.
