Search results for my username only turned up one entry where it was quoted in someone else's comment, and I didn't find a browse or search for posts made by a user.
So I cloned the archive, used ag to grep for
/Posted by .* on \d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d/and build a ~1gb text file where each line contains thread file name, comment author's username, and date posted.This allowed for subsequent processing to build an index for any username.
I let Claude make the Python script to process the 1gb file into markdown index file for a user.
It can create an index for every user, but probably not a good idea to create so many files.https://github.com/jason-s13r/ubuntuforums-by-user/blob/main/by-user/m/master5o1.md
I was certainly a dip shit at times.

Minimum remote for git is a directory, possibly accessible via ssh.
ie: git+ssh://192.168.1.10/path/to/repo.git
A remote can even be a directory on the same machine. I did both of these recently to easily move code between my IDE projects dirs to something's plugins dir for a couple of things I was working on.
Git doesn't require any third party code hosting services to operate or exchange source code.
These services provide a (hopefully reliable) storage location and a web ui for the managing access & review, among other things.
