Good to know!

I did not know the internals of said stack. The ML thread is amusing though:

I’m even tired that whenever people add new repositories to api.gentoo.org, I have to go through that idiotic GitHub clickety-click UI to stop receiving notifications for everything that happens in these repositories.

I genuinely wonder why the Gentoo dev team even uses Microsoft GitHub for managing its infrastructure. Well, I wonder what will happen after the shutdown.

Darcs would not solve the problem in question, Portage does not support it either.

Technically true, but has that ever been a problem you actually had? I strongly believe that most people won’t ever need most features offered by many contemporary VCSs.

SVN certainly has its charm. However, I don’t need branches for a few ebuilds, and I generally tend to use the most efficient tool for a task, not necessarily the most popular one.

I didn’t feel like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut (or using a VCS optimised for millions of users rather than four files).

In my defence: the documentation states I’m allowed to use CVS. :-(

The con beats all pros.

Contributions welcome! :-)

Gimp just isn’t great though. Luckily, the Affinity Suite exists.

My own link collector, mostly.

I wonder if it will run on the Hurd.

Also, Honk.

It’s quite possible these days, actually. But never change a running system!

I see. Is self-hosting an option for you?

Why did you choose that provider?

In my tests over the years, it has always been annoyingly slow with random GUI issues, GnuPG crashed a lot, and mail server communication left room for improvement. It might have a sufficient number of features, that’s granted, but honestly, after my experiences with it, I’d usually recommend Sylpheed instead (if free software is mandatory).

If only Thunderbird was better.

Or (like in old games) large folders are “heavy”, same size, but needs more hits.

Blocks for folders need one hit per containing file. That’s already in the game. I should probably add a different colour for those though. I’ll choose blue.

Block color could indicate type of file and they could be differently sized as well.

I have thought about that, but if you delout todo.txt large-folder, the large-folder would probably be too easy to hit. ;-)

More ideas: Infected files that spread the virus, if you don’t kill it fast enough next to it.

That’s for the Halloween Edition of the game… (no, I probably won’t do that.)

I have some concerns if the programmer did a mistake and something important gets deleted. So be careful playing with fire.

I have absolutely made several mistakes. :-)
