No matter how distributed your tool is (like git), it's usually nice to have stable servers being part of the network (i suppose your laptop is not serving git repos for others to clone from). Torrents are distributed and yet i'm

Well i do agree that the title they choose for this project is kinda stupid. But with some argumentative charity we can do better: this is a TUI for managing git repos, kinda like a TUI for gitolite+cgit. And it's a server-side program

My personal go-to for solo discovery online (ie not counting chatting) is the reverse directory lookup in soundcloud: the "in playlists" link (also $TRACK_URL/sets) which lists all the playlists some track appears in. There u

Well then TIL that my moka is not a standard one... It was bought recently tho (like ~5 years ago), so perhaps it's gone standard to put some ferrous thing at the bottom, idk.
