Not just the Wiki and Issues, but also more things like release artifacts can be (optionally) sync'd and are part of the repository (as "unversioned content"). There's also a Forum included, and as with the rest those m

Fossil keeps them in the same repo but as a separate kind of object.

Yeah, WebSockets would also work here -- I would need to invent an ad-hoc protocol for making the resource requests, and it would be similar to a mini HTTP/1.1 Pipelining in spirit. The project needs some other work, since it looks lik

I built a server-side mouse tracking over HTTP application that used HTTP/1.1 Pipelining to increase precision [0], back when web browsers supported HTTP/1.1 Pipelining, that is. [0] https://github.com/rkeene/

These days it's still possible to patch and have a high kernel uptime due to in-kernel Kernel Live Patching (KLP) support. I've written a few KLP patches to solve kernel bugs without rebooting just because rebooting every system

It is often less verbose than a man page so can be seen entirely without a pager, which is often all you need when you are looking for a reminder of that periodically used option. Certainly having both options (man page and inline help) is

Can you do something like `pip install --no-binary :all:` (or equivalent pip.conf entry) ?

From what I understand about TCP BBR from reading about it the past few minutes, it would compute a new link speed as a result of impacts from WRED and then use that for the connection baseline speed. TCP BBR would still rely on RED/WR

FWIW, the reason nodes typically don't get to 100% is due to something called WRED (Weighted Random Early Detection). As the outbound/inbound queue on your "node" approaches fullness, it randomly selects packets to drop

This is why my build systems will only use release tarballs that can be cached. I built HashCache [0][1] to handle caching of these tarballs by their SHA-256, then the build system can fetch from there first to ensure a local mirror is ava

In Fossil it's all just part of the repository :-)

The ability to clone the entire repository, not just the code base portion of it -- and thus make it available somewhere else with low effort. So all the issues, wiki articles, release artifacts could be re-homed (or even have multiple sim

With GitHub, you are only cloning part of the repository -- you are missing the Wiki (which is a separate repository), Issues, Milestones, Release Artifacts, etc

Fossil [0] makes this situation a bit better since you can always clone the entire repository. It wouldn't help with authoritative URLs to resources if the host went away, though -- that kind of infrastructure would still need to be p

https://webpass.rkeene.org/ is also similar, but a single JavaScript file which you can host yourself. It also supports syncing, but for this it needs to reach out to a server. It doesn't store the data on the server

The actual mechanism your User Agent tells the server which languages you are interested in is even more robust [0] ! It is a weighted list of preferences. The reasons I've heard from web developers on why they don't use this is

TIP 302 has been open to fix this in Tcl 8.7+, and there is atleast one implementation of the fix. I looked at addressing TIP 302, but it was complicated since Tcl virtualizes the clock (like it does the filesystem).
