  I’ve been doing some C programming lately — not NetNewsWire, don’t worry! (it’s a personal project) — and just last night I learned about pthread_once and I’m over the moon. What a wonderful thing!

  (I used to use dispatch_once frequently in Objective-C code. I assume it uses pthread_once.)

  Just today I learned about Codeberg, “a non-profit, community-led effort that provides Git hosting and other services for free and open source projects.”

  I have open source projects, and plan to have more, and getting away from big-corporation-owned services is an extremely attractive idea. I also like, for obvious reasons these days, the “Hosted in Europe, we welcome the world” part.

  I hadn’t looked at my Safari Privacy Report in a while.

  Wow Google! Holding the top five spots. Amazing work!
