You can now find my hilaribad code at code.kevinflo.com
I realize that just switching your trust from one centralized authority (github) to another (gitlab) is not really a big win, but I still switched because:
- If gitlab does stuff I’m not down with I can just self-host
Side note: that’s also that’s why all my permalinks will be to code.kevinflo.com instead of directly to gitlab. Nginx also made it really easy to allow for code.kevinflo.com/twitchplayscrypto to point straight to that repo and so forth.

I wasn’t born yesterday. I don’t care about the friendly smiling man. Market forces are more powerful than intentions, and Microsoft gon Microsoft. Maybe not in the short term, but on the multi-decade timescale where we need a place to organize ourselves around code this almost certainly will go sour.
