  • Both features are important IMO, reproducibility is for being able to define certain aspects of your machine in a way that you can nuke it and, as long as you have its configuration (declarative for Nix, other implementations might have it as imperative), bring it back just how it was set up, without differences or breakages; while immutability is for being always confident that whatever* you do to your machine, you won’t be able to break it because the root, which holds the functioning core of your system, can’t be messed around with, NixOS has both I believe.

    *not really “whatever”, because there are still some ways to break, but you have to be very deliberate in doing it (think rm -rf /*), but in normal operation you won’t just somehow install something or upgrade your packages and be left with an unusable system

    How about you let me save the application data for myself and keep it secure on my equipment first, Google? Uff, going through the salvaging process of the data on my near-broken phone is being the most excruciating thing I’ve done recently because they just won’t let you access and save it unless you rely on their cloud… which I might eventually just do, just wished it’d at least be a 100% safe way to get everything, but no, they had to put the decision to be backed up into the applications’ hands ;-;







  • Any more git bundles you should care about?

    That’s a pretty decent list, I actually can’t remember many more, maybe I’d add Onedev, but I’ve been skeptical about it since it’s gone more corporate, so idk.

    Actually, are these 2 forks of another, when?

    To be fair, the meme isn’t exactly accurate, because the forking relationship is this:

    Gogs
    └ Gitea
        └ Forgejo
    

    But the colors just fit too good not to use this meme, so there you go lol


  • uninformed comment

    That’s fine in and of itself, but, personally, I could never bring myself to use a forge which isn’t fully featured and easy to use.

    (rant)

    Sourcehut is just so counterintuitive to me and I shrug every time I see a project actually using it, I feel like many wouldn’t even consider making contributions unless they were very motivated. To the average person, it just looks like an unwelcoming experience, especially for the email centric focus, like, why should I switch to another application just to open an issue? At least integrate it with the the web UI, like idk, make it a specialized email client for the platform, so I don’t have to juggle multiple things.


    Don’t get me wrong tho, it’s the closest we have to the bare git workflow of the “before times” with a bit more accessibility on top, it’s not bad, but in a way these new web forges have spoiled us devs into relying on cohesive web services which happen to have vendor lock-in, but that can change and it is slowly doing so


    edit: deleted for inaccurate info, don’t consider my dumb rant O.o

    I found it unfamiliar in the few times I saw it, but maybe it’s worth giving a try
