The Linux kernel is not particularly big by comparison. Although I suppose you could argue the cause is the choice of keeping so much in a single repo (I certainly would).

Kinda... they completely lost any kind of user-lookup or CCs or versions or any other data... but yeah sure they moved comments I guess that's everything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What you're saying is that a complex tool requires learning to understand it. Of course it does. Does that make the less complex tool better? No, in fact usually it only makes it better for the occasional user - at the expense of the a

They make money off the code hosted on Github, which is by-and-large open source. Github makes money off of open source software whether they themselves run open source software (almost certainly yes) or not.

Why do you need multiple keys for "a few consulting clients" to begin with? Yubikey's have a limited number of slots for GPG keys by the way... I'm curious to know how you stuffed as many subkeys as you want into the sin

Then why are you so worried about people clicking spam? If they want to read your email, they're not going to mark your email as spam.

The theory is that they might have already generated the list of subscribers when they wrote up the email days earlier, or be working off some mirror of the data, etc. It's a really dumb theory and the real reason is "because we c

There's also a reason that they and every other provider give/gave free "unlimited" storage. And a reason they're all cracking down.

The zero sum property also makes it really easy to just add up along (any subset of) each column and find most errors. Not so important now when everything's stored in a computerized database anyway, but a lot more relevant to actual

I'm sure the hosting costs are a rounding error for Gitlab for the vast majority of ("cloud") customers. Knowing how big some repos are, storage is probably their biggest cost... and, coincidentally enough, they charge for th

It doesn't even matter if you self-host or not. It's the same price either way. I have the same question as you.

90% of the "efficiency" and "surplus" is the fact that no one can effectively compete. Which is why it's anti-competitive.
