If the quality of HN is a metric, HN is horribly, horribly broken. The quality has been steadily declining until a few months ago when it bottomed out somewhere around the quality of r/atheism. Take the top voted item from any time maybe 6-

So now i need to add $$ to my monthly expenses even though i'm already paying for a VPS that i host my git projects on? I also disagree that it's hard to go any other route. Gitweb works great (the interface is better than github's imho) an

Thanks for this! I was hoping pg would fix his own site, but since he won't i guess the community will have to.

If you have an average consumer box and leave this running during the day, a few USD a year at current exchange rates.

Nice to see mainstream articles on Dropbox's lies. I was starting to think they'd get away with their stupidity.

I meant literally the word "shit". Your point is completely valid.

Diaspora is already dead. The masses won't use it because they already use Facebook, which fits their needs perfectly. Diaspora tried to appeal to the tech crowd, but they failed miserably with that by not having any idea what they're doing
