You're not paying for the traffic load though, Microsoft does. I think it's unfair to compare a forge run by a giant and one run by a tiny company, or for that matter, self hosting users.

Yeah I wanted to do the same thing and self host my repos but that will have to wait now until this issue is fixed, it looks like...

Could you tell me more about what tool you used to host the repos? And I assume you noticed the traffic in your web logs?

I know there's scalable bloom filters, but are there any alternative data structure like bloom/cuckoo filters that allows for dynamic growth of inserted elements? Ie, I would like to add hundreds of new elements every day and let the filter grow it's capacity automagically.

Migadu do have calendar/contacts but it's a bit tricky setting up, FYI.

Edit: For example, take a look at https://www.migadu.com/guides/thunderbird/ and at the end of that page there's some instructions for setting up calendar.

Pretty sure there's an old movie with Keanu Reeves using some sort of power glove to "browse the net", cyberpunk style.

Edit: Oh yeah it was Johnny Mnemonic https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0113481/

Ugh no... No idea how I've missed that.

Thanks!

An official RSS/Atom feed would be great too.

This is interesting. I would like to mention: don't forget students in your future subscription model!

As a new (but middle aged) CS student I think this could be a fun way to encourage my fellow students and myself to exercise more between study sessions.

I concur! Please share some wisdom.

Yeah from that page I picked a refurbished Thinkpad x270 as my new daily drive and set up FreeBSD on it, works perfectly!

Not to poop on your parade, but there's been a bunch of security updates you might want to get?

Github's flavour is based on Commonmark, with just some extensions on top FYI.

"GFM is a strict superset of CommonMark.", https://github.github.com/gfm/#introduction, third paragraph.

I've encountered https://github.com/utterance/utterances, which relies on github issues for providing a blog comments system of a sort.

Alternatively there's https://github.com/giscus/giscus, which instead uses github discussions.

Haven't used either so can't comment (heh) on their "performance".

I've been thinking of making Yet Another Git Repo Browser™ from scratch these last couple of years, with features I've been missing in gitweb and with a cleaner/more familiar UI. Maybe it's time to revive that old prototype.

What issues did you have with gitweb? And what stuff did you patch up?

Aww man thanks a lot for your story! Kindness is really the only way to treat people, including yourself. And you totally owned it!

Yap and that's when you start feeling that OSS burnout creeping up on you.

Thank you for all of these tips!

I've lately been feeling bad, and thinking I must look like an ungrateful asshat, about closing lower quality PRs (IMHO) with valid bugfixes but which introduces some new, possibly subtle, bug instead. Or having to close abandoned PRs because the submitter gave up before that last polishing to match the standard of my own repo. :(

Now I feel better knowing that I can do that final polish myself, while keeping the submitters original contrib!

Oh wow never realised that was possible! Thank you!

That will save so much time and energy having to deal with back-and-forths or abandoned PRs

> Talking to the NPCs at the store was also very interesting, you actually had to talk, using the chat...

Yep I remember people would form orderly queues in the shops, waiting for their turn to talk with the NPC. Not sure what happened with line cutters, but I assumed they got hunted down afterwards.

Thank you for your service, little big rover, you did great. Still miss you!

The whole Bobiverse series is built around this concept of one guy's brain scan and him embracing his new existence.

By the way, do you have the title of the book you mentioned?

I personally find it easier to remember what I've read, compared to what podcast/audio book I played while in bed.

It's also, curiosly, easier for me to follow written instructions, compared to spoken (at work for example).

Yeah if you got the first two, I automatically assume DMARC is used too. But am not familiar with "UCE"?

Also did you have to research your IP/domain that your VPS sits behind? Domain blacklists, and avoiding them, seems pretty straightforward. But I've heard mixed things about VPS ips, some mail services could block whole networks from VPS providers while others don't care as long as you don't spam?

That's too bad :( Haven't done any research on proton yet, so I know nothing about them besides their own claims. You got any references to share?

I've never had the need to protect my mail (using PGP for example) as I don't send mails that's sensitive enough for it or are forced to message with tech illiterate people (sorry) that can't use it.

I just want a privacy friendly service that won't give up my data to uninvolved 3rd parties :(

Huh that's all that's required to stay out of gmail's junk folders? DKIM and SPF?

Could had sworn there were a lot more work/tech required, a couple of years ago.

Been a happy Fastmail customer for years now and it's been smooth sailing the whole time (using custom domains and everything). No issues whatssoever.

But yeah, Australia is not... Optimal, privacy wise. Poor data laws and member of the Five Eyes network will probably force me, finally, to switch to a new service (probably Proton mail) at the end of the next yearly renewal :(

Edit: just remembered there's been a couple of incidents with poor security practices, in the past, with fastmail (easy to google) that doesn't look flattering.

And I think (?) there's been some issues with spoofed email going around/originated within fastmail's internal network:

"Fastmail domains have a DMARC policy of none, which means recipient mail servers should report whether the message passes or not, but not change deliverability. This allows users to send mail using our domains from anywhere, for legacy reasons."

From the final section on https://www.fastmail.com/help/technical/senderauthentication.... I think this was abused?

Yeah same for me. Seen it being used for npm and friends and been wanting some for Go too, for a long time now! I love graphs and dependency monitoring!

Huh had to check and realized Sweden is still running it too:

SVT https://www.svt.se/text-tv/100

What's the more common name of it? Most of europe seems to call it Text TV instead of Teletext?

Wow that was a dystopic and horrifying image you painted.

Yeah same here, literally started to run it localy this morning. What's that psychological effect called when you suddenly see a thing everywhere?
