Small PSA: git.k1024.org turndown

Just a small thing: I’m going to turn down the very simple gitweb interface at https://git.k1024.org/. Way back, I thought I should have a backup for GitHub, but the decentralised Git model makes this not really needed, and gitweb is actually pretty heavy, even if it is really bare-bones.

Practically, as small as that site was, it was fine before the LLM era. Since then, I keep getting lots of traffic, as if these repositories which already exist on GitHub hold critical training information… Thus, I finally got the impetus to turn it down, for no actual loss. Keeping it would make sense only if I were to change it into a proper forge, but that’s a different beast, in which I have no interest (as a public service). So, down it goes.

I’ll probably replace all of it with a single static page, text-only even 😄

Next in terms of simplification will probably be removing series from this blog, since there’s not enough clear separation between tags and series. Or at least, I’m not consequent enough to write a very clean set of articles that can be ordered and numbered as a unit.
