Self-host your data. I like Immich for personal photos: https://immich.app. And VisualDrive Server in corporate environment as a self-hosted replacement for cloud-based OneDrive: https://www.axiorema.com/visualdrive-server/.

Oh, an actual "modern engineering marvel". What a novelty, what a discovery!

Your point is quite good. I like it!

Oh, now HN is discussing a meaningless copy-pasted self promotion blog post. I guess this says something about the current state of the HN community.

So how do I call Word now? Microsoft Copilot app Word?

You wanna let them inhale mercurial?

This “ironic” and “humorous” style of errors and UI captions is the actual new corporate speak. I’d prefer dumb error messages rather than some shit someone over the ocean thinks is smart and humorous. And it’s not funny at all when it’s a global outage impacting my business and my $$$.

Yes yes. Pushing and pulling all the day. Modern day sisiphus.

The new command is named “sudo” because customer feedback and because MUSCLE MEMORY:

I hear you! We thought about some of the options you’re calling out here. A lot of customers voiced having the muscle memory of doing similar flows on various operating systems was more important to them and that’s where we landed. I totally understand your perspective and I do really appreciate the feedback. I’m always trying to learn from people like you so I can help to build things that will make your life better.

My first thought was that this article is about Obsidian Entertainment (videogame development company).

Or in serverless mode without any server at all. Just open the repository via file://.

No, this isn’t true. You can deploy your SVN server with ‘svnserve’ in just a few minutes.

> A github server is much easier to set up than a subversion server.

Oh here we go again. You are wrong my friend. Firing up a basic SVN server is a matter of minutes. You just need to run several simple commands.

Besides running Windows 11 VM, I use UTM to run Windows 98 on ARM-based MacBook. Great for playing old games on modern Mac devices.

This has happened only in BG3 with GFN for me. All other titles run perfectly or OK-ish.

It appears that there is some problem with BG3 on GFN. The game’s launcher constantly complains about “corrupt data files” and cloud saves take some time to sync from and to Steam.

I think it’s fun to use names or captions of UI elements as a display name / username. Look at mine.

> recommended for beginners

This is fabulous. They even draw a "learning path" from beginner to expert (sorry, who?). It looks almost natural for inexperienced users.

This whole "home antivirus" business reminds me of SoftRAM. It's just a few steps away from being a scam.

So? You've just described exactly the what's achievable with Subversion. The only missing part is adding remote repositories.

> You don't have to set up a database for Git, either, and it works entirely locally.

What database? Subversion doesn't need any special database to work. Just the repository and its working copy. Both can be local and can be created with two commands.

Subversion's CLI is actually sane and much easier compared to the abomination provided by Git. Additionally, Subversion can be used entirely locally, without the need to deploy and configure any server application.

It seems that you are comparing apples to oranges. Building your own SVN server from the ground up can indeed require some effort. Doing the same for Git demands more or less the same level of effort on your part. So, I believe you are comparing building an SVN server from the ground up to something like installing Gitea or GitLab, or using Git locally.

Again, you don’t have to install an SVN server. Just run `svnadmin create REPONAME` and use the `svn` client to import your data into the repository.

How’s your experience with Subversion? What kind of content do store in SVN, BTW?

I don't understand how Rider is superior to VSCode. I tried Rider a while ago and switched back to VSCode because it gave me the impression that I was acting as a beta tester. There were, or still are, silly bugs that forced me to reinstall it completely several times. You just can't have such bugs in your software product if its codebase is covered with tests and if there is a dedicated team of software testers. Additionally, it costs $149 for the first year. However, I should note that I'm not a power user, so perhaps Rider's built-in Resharper is actually a must-have feature for someone.

Yes, AFAIK there is Bottles and Lutris, but I’m struggling with staring games through them. Perhaps it’s just me though.

> I use Windows to play games, but it truly feels like a trash party most of the time.

Use Linux + Proton. It’s fascinating how Linux became a decent replacement for Windows for video games. (Thanks, Valve!)

> Gmail works perfectly

Is this a joke? Gmail now is an awful email client. E.g., now you just can’t compose a rich text email when you need to copy paste lists from other emails. In certain cases, you can’t correctly format an email if you copy paste without formatting or plain text. And there is a lot of such annoying stuff, that makes my life painful.

Perhaps, searching my mailbox with gmail is OK, but the part of composing emails is in bad state.

They are writing:

> There are still a bunch of smaller reasons, but we could write a book on this, and probably no one would want to read it.

I’d read a book about Zippyshare, its history and about all those smaller reasons why they are closing.

1. Subversion lets you configure granular permissions.

2. Subversion lets you check out portions of your repository.

3. Subversion working copy does not have all regions history. Just a snapshot of the checked out revision.

So at least Subversion would have allowed them to limit the amount of leaked data + no revision history leaked.

> I'm surprised to some degree that it's still running 13 years later when nobody is really facing that issue anymore.

It's still running because Subversion has better CLI.

PS The joke is not that funny when it lasts for 13 years. Ha-ha, how funny (not).

GitHub is based on a decentralised version-control system, so this is not a problem. Right? ;)

What about SVN?

Besides other features, Subversion supports representation sharing. So adding new textual or binary files with identical data won’t increase the size of your repository.

I’m not familiar with ML data sets, but it seems that SVN may work great with them. It already works great for huge and small game dev projects.

What I actually meant was “corporate culture”. Culture != race.

Thanks for reviewing my comments, though.
