So I've started to use it since that's the way things are going. It's pretty drop-in compatible with how I used to use Github contributions for Gentoo. There are currently 2 downsides I'm facing: - It's slow for git

Yeah, it’s true though. The most annoying outages we’ve had are when poles get damaged and need a full replacement. A couple years ago we had a black locust tree split and break the T on the top of telephone pole across street. It didn’t ta
