Someone tries to make this plea in every thread, but it's bunk and shows an ignorance of history, an ignorance of the concrete figures actually at play, and it helps perpetuate the image of a frail non-profit that Mozilla really rides

Last summer I tried untangling the OStatus/pump.io/ActivityPub/ActivityStreams nest hoping to piece together a big picture mental image based mostly on what Wikipedia has to say, and found it mostly frustrating. For anyone wh

I don't know what this comment contributes to the conversation besides being vaguely condescending. I didn't ask why an AV product would be re-using 7-zip code.

For anyone running this, can you comment? For example, one recurring criticism, before GitLab and the community managed to stamp out the expectation that it would be feasible, was that people were trying to self host a GitLab instance on a

It's funny that you mention buffer overflows. An interesting thing to point out—and I'm not sure if anyone has; I've looked before—is that if you follow Meredith Patterson's line of reasoning about langsec for protocols

Logan, I just went through the process to create an account. The signup page has a few employment related fields that are required to create an account. They probably shouldn't be. EDIT: There's also this[1] alignment issue in t

If you're creating multiple sockpuppets, then you're violating the GitHub TOS. If you're using a single sockpuppet with the intention of busting up the ability to link your activity, you're limited to a single repo, and

This is cool. I've been looking for an "open relay" to help with collaborating on GitHub-hosted projects that's easier than doing account resets.[1] I'll check it out later. Side note: the Git project is enforcing

You focused on the word "game", but the key to the thought lies in the word "opaque".

Sourcegraph is also working on a similar service. Also: unless you've okayed the name with the Git folks, you're going to need to change the name. Git is trademarked, and they are no longer allowing just anyone to use the mark wi

Partial commits through piecemeal staging is great as a poweruser's tool, like rebase. But it's beyond weird that anyone thought it was a good idea to make people deal with staging for every commit. It doesn't even have to g
