I've lost my laptops SSD (as in: no longer mountable, only got data out of it with some rescue tools) at some point between 2017 and 2020, don't remember when exactly. I've also had a weird experience where a btrfs filesystem

A good package manager, e.g. GNU Guix, let's you define a reproducible environment of all of your dependencies. This accounts for all of those external headers and shared libraries, which will be made available in an isolated build env

As well as the toolchain used to compile your toolchain, through multiple levels, and all compiler flags along the path, and so on, down to some "seed" from which everything is build. Guix' full-source bootstrap is pretty enl

I responded to that comment, but it does not address why you think Forgejo is lacking development power. IMO it rather shows a lack of understanding on your part of what Forgejo is today. It no longer is a superset of Gitea since the hard f

Arguably the OG workflow to submit your code is `git send-email`, and that also doesn't require an additional third clone on the same hosting platform as the target repository. All those workflows are just as valid as the others, I was

To my knowledge git-lfs is only really designed to store your large files on a central server. I think it also uses its own out-of-band (from the perspective of git) protocol and connection to talk to that server. So it doesn't work wi

Requiring a fork to open pull requests as an outsider to a project is in itself a idiosyncrasy of GitHub that could be done without. Gitea and Forgejo for example support AGit: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user&

IMO "Advent of Code" only determines the timeframe in which it happens, not the amount of puzzles it must contain. It could just as well be four puzzles, one for each sunday of the advent, or any other amount, as long as they are

My Sony a7iii can definitely upload to FTP by itself, JPEG and RAW. That is my primary means of getting images off of it. I would have appreciated if it did WebDAV though, then I could make it push to Nextcloud directly...

/s, right? Since the path of earth's orbit around the sun lies on a plane your decision to make the normal vector point in the same general direction of "north" seems arbitrary too. You could just as well call the negati

But if you define "up" as the direction opposite to where gravity pulls things (which very much makes sense) then there is no possible situation in which north being up would be correct either. A compass needle never points up. Yo

I don't think it uses some special type in any way. Rather, if you use sxml to build html in scheme and have a node in there that is a string, then the natural way to serialize this sxml into html will be to safely quote the string. Af

Yes it does, but I don't think the special remote supports the importtree feature, which would be necessary for this.

In an ideal world the rclone special remote would support git-annex' importtree feature. Then you could periodically run `git annex import <branch>:<subdir> --from <sharepoint/dropbox-remote>` to "pull"

Depends on the cloud storage provider, I think. The best chances are with those that support the more standard protocols like S3, webdav, sftp, etc.. A relatively new development is the special remote built into rclone, which should be bett

I had tested a git-annex repository with about 1.5M files and it got pretty slow as well. The plain git repo size grew to multiple GiB and plain git operations were super slow, so I think this was mostly a git limitation. DataLad's app

Well, it is more than a handful, that was the only point. You seem to be conflating Anaconda with the conda ecosystem. This package is from conda-forge, which is a community project sponsored by Anaconda but otherwise unrelated to it. I cou

Hadn't heard about that before, looks interesting. But AFAICS mise focuses on installing tools, not actually all dependencies. It integrates with the languages dependency management tools, which doesn't help you if the language do

What does it change? Conda-forge users are users of the conda ecosystem. You suggested there is only a handful of those that use it not for python, I provided a counter point. Or did I misunderstand you and what you meant with "conda&q

A single one of the gfortran packages released about 20 hours ago already has 362 downloads, so I think it is safe to say that the non-python users of conda-forge are more than just a handful. If you don't need it that's fine, no

So with a fresh installation of one of those alternative conda clients and no user intervention it won't happen, right? On top of that you can block access on the network level as well. Sure, when your employees are outside of the corp

Do you have an example for a package on conda-forge that actually does this? I can only find a vague announcement from 2021 that the "defaults channel is now dropped when building conda-forge packages", as well as statements that

Worse, Xerox scanners specifically meant for digitizing documents have changed text for a long time. The compression algorithm they used (I think even in the default settings) sometimes replaced e.g. 6 with 8, and similar things. See: http

Opinions differ, I guess. Ansible can't declare a desired state of anything at all and apply it, so I don't see much of a point in it over shell-scripts-over-ssh, other than maybe making decisions based on its fact gathering (but
