Bitcoin is a block-tree as well, you can have diverging branches. It's just that branches are usually very short-lived due to the incentives designed into the system.

Don't enable unattended updates for GitLab. The migrations don't always work and sometimes need manual work. (This is rarely the case, but can happen.) (Also, when upgrading GitLab, make sure to upgrade version-by-version and alwa

Performance is terrible in their cloud offering, but actually pretty OK in the on prem version. Guess which one of those two they're sunsetting...

by dbrgn 4y ago
Yeah, on prem is not affected. But they're discontinuing on prem, making customers even more dependent on their hosted services. Bravo! (My employer will switch away from Atlassian products once they don't offer on prem anymore.)

If you'd actually read the article, you'd see that the problem isn't merged /usr. Other distros moved to merged /usr just fine. Also, the decision to move Debian to merged /usr wasn't done by Poettering, i

Does Gitea support some kind of federation / cross-instance PRs? That's the main thing I'd miss from a self-hosted instance, the ease of getting contributions. After all, you don't even need Gitea for pure Git hosting. I

I didn't plant them, they grow like crazy and destroy the grass :D I don't know what they're called, but I could try one of those plant identification apps. Check back in a few days, I'll try to post a comment if I find

This is also about developer frustration, but not only. Over the years, I've used various alarm clock apps. There were some Huawei phones where it was literally impossible to get those alarm clock apps to work, because even if you a

I rent, but the homeowner doesn't care. We're three parties in the house, one neighbour doesn't care either, and the other neighbour's wife is sad if we cut the flowers :)

I don't have any clover here, but lots of flowers. We usually wait with the first cut in spring until the flowers are mostly gone. They displace grass unfortunately, but look very nice, and insects love them. https://i.imgur

As far as I understand it, Taler is not made for person-to-person payments, but for person-to-service-provider payments. The idea of taxability is that the person sending the money (the customer) is anonymous, while the recipient of the mon

Could Taler be used in a smaller scope already? For example, could it be used as an "account system" inside an association (like a hackerspace), where members can charge their accounts with Talers and then use these to pay drinks

This will probably break many other use cases as well (e.g. services that allow pasting formatted text and will convert it to unformatted text, or pages like GitHub where you can paste an image into the edit area).
