Hello Codeberg

Good day and welcome!

I made some upgrades to this site:

• The primary color changed from browns to cyans
• Replaced material icons with SVG's
• Added a new client-side search
• Implemented a "News" layout (this article being the first to use it).
• Under the hood, stripped superfluous blank lines from the HTML.

I have also started the process of migrating my repos from GitHub to Codeberg.

The process involves taking stock in a spreadsheet, reconciling latest commits of all branches in each repo, to make sure I won't lose any data - some commits were made on other machines in the distant past. I will archive 9 of the 55 repos, to preserve outside links and possibly noting the move on those repos. Then I will migrate those projects deemed worthy to Codeberg.

Projects fit for public consumption will also be put on Itch.io.

Stay tuned.

This migration has been on my mind for a long time. I want to keep giving free software to the world, to the people of the world, but not to unsanctioned AI.

The prospect of any person finding anything I do useful, or a resource of learning, is exciting to me. The thought of any mega-corp taking hobbyist and/or labors of love from the masses for profit, without consent, feels wrong.

I realize everyone have different levels of investment in the projects they own or contribute to. Opinions will differ, and so will people's choices. I respect any person's decision regards to what they do with their code. As long as they have a choice!
