"For a random user, there’s no shame in being unable to use ed. I’m not qualified to become a Navy SEAL. I’m not even qualified to become the kind of seal that lies on a beach and barks. That’s okay. The world is full of computers. If you cannot handle the undiluted glory that is ed, use one of those friendly pointy-clicky systems."

Learning about #Unix is a joy anyways, but sprinkle some Michael Lucas banter in there and you know you're in for a good time

Guten Morgen,

Ich bin der Thore und auf der Suche nach einem Aushilfsjob in einem IT Umfeld! Ob Programmieren oder “Hilfe mein Drucker geht nicht mehr!” bin ich für vieles offen und vor allem bereit zum Lernen! Wer ich bin, was ich kann und was ich erwarte erfahrt ihr unter: kurzgedanke.me/wer-bin-ich

Das ganze am besten im Umkreises des Ruhrgebiets! 😊

Ein Boost wäre sehr lieb. Vielen dank!

the single most important criteria when replacing Github
joeyh.name/blog/entry/the_sing

Consider all the data that's used to provide the value-added features on top of git. Issue tracking, wikis, notes in commits, lists of forks, pull requests, access controls, hooks, other configuration, etc.

Is that data stored in a git repository?

#github

JWZ on the Github->Microsoft deal:

"So MICROS~1 bought Github and everybody's freaking out right now trying to re-host their projects on someone else's service.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STORE YOUR DATA IN THE CLOWN.

The Clown is just someone else's computer and they can and will fuck you. If it's not on your computer, it's not under your control. Why do you all keep doing this to yourselves??

Stop hitting yourself. Seriously, stop it."

Hm, now I’m wondering whether #fossil is something I might want to use. It was tickets and source code. I dislike the database stuff but SQLite has a good reputation and at the end of the day all the .git directories are gobbledygook to me anyway. fossil-scm.org

Hey all. oksh, my portable #OpenBSD ksh(1), just gained AIX support (and possibly HPUX and Solaris support too, if someone wants to test).

Und eventuell mache ich eine Suppenküche speziell für Admins in einer Hafengegend auf, und nenne sie dann Soupport.

This is a note to people moving their repositories blindly to Gitlab.org: do you know Google is actually a huge investor in Gitlab?

The issue is not about Microsoft buying Github. The issue is about centralization and silos.

You do not solve that by moving your data from one silo to another.

You solve that by relying on small providers you can trust, or by becoming a provider yourself.

Wegen des Kaufs von Github durch Microsoft auf eine eigene Gitlab-Instanz umsiedeln. Betrieben in der Amazon Cloud. Genau mein Humor.

Nice: DNS-Lookup from inside Firefox:

URL "about:networking" , select "DNS Lookup" and fire a DNS query

Tested with firefox 60

Also works with DNS-over-HTTPS (Doh)
