Lorry :unverified:I figured it was time to write a weblog post breaking down the political and illogical farce of Trudeau's executive actions on firearms these last few years.

HaraldWhen you move, for example your software from Github to Codeberg, you should install a Nachsendeantrag (forwarding request).😜 Not the least because the old version persists in search engine results.I now did so on Github leading to my NFA/DFA software for Java: <a href="https://codeberg.org/harald/monqjfa" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://codeberg.org/harald/monqjfa</a>Which was previously hosted on <a href="https://nrw.social/tags/github" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#github</a>: <a href="https://github.com/HaraldKi/monqjfa" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/HaraldKi/monqjfa</a><a href="https://nrw.social/tags/codeberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#codeberg</a> <a href="https://nrw.social/tags/monqjfa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monqjfa</a> <a href="https://nrw.social/tags/nfa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nfa</a> <a href="https://nrw.social/tags/dfa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dfa</a>
