Amazon's AI crawler is making my git server unstable

End of the day someone still has to pay for those requests

Honestly, for the first year or two after learning about it (which is the only time where it's really relevant) that's exactly what I did. Spend 30 seconds, derive something that's definitely correct, and never worry again about your memory randomly failing you

The classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day

"Glazing" is slang for over-complimenting, often to an obsessive degree

Run info info

Texinfo pages were originally meant to be a longer alternative to manpages that had support for featureful navigation (links, indexes, etc). They're nice and I can see a world where they did catch on, but the standard viewer is always a little bit of a shock to jump in to (being based off Emacs and all)

Lmao. They couldn't even copy code from a random MIT licensed project? Sometimes I think these scammers aren't even trying

You could try making enabling git's rerere functionality, which stands for "reuse recorded resolution"

Arch does tend to keep packages as close to upstream as possible, which can be both a good and bad thing. Sway not binding to graphical-session.target by default is a little strange for example. Other distros also save a first-time user a great deal of configuration for things they probably don't care about as well. Going through Fedora's install and finding out that disk encryption and SELinux were configured OOTB was very nice to see personally. On the other hand Arch's installation (w/o archinstall) has you choosing a bootloader, audio server, display manager, etc. Nothing arduous and I like it, but definitely not for everyone

This is all eliminated by spinoffs of course, but even there users have the option to run random scripts/AUR packages without vetting them. Also doesn't help that the most popular Arch-based distro for a while (Manjaro) was pretty flaky and generally incompatible with the AUR (despite saying otherwise), leading to many people saying "that's just Arch" and swearing off the parent project as well

I switched to (Doom)-Emacs from a ~7yr old homegrown Vim config last week and honestly the configuration is less bad than it seems. If you're mainly writing markdown you'll probably get 99% of the way there by just enabling the dedicated module

Depends

Clannad? Valid

After-Story?

The back end is open source, but sometimes they've lagged years behind releasing the source code.

I think this is the more worrying part if true. The backend is licensed under the AGPL, so this would technically be a violation of their terms

Edit: For anyone else reading I looked into it a bit more and looks like the issue came to a head around 3 years ago, with this comment being made after a year of missing source code. The public repo has been pretty active since then, so the issue seems to be resolved

Additionally if you're looking for it to start on boot without logging in, you might find the loginctl enable-linger command to be of use. Maybe along with a Restart=on-failure policy in the service file if this is for a headless unit or something

The name was used casually before, but he officially changed it in 2021

Wouldn't call it trash but personally after trying it a couple times it seemed like it took as long to config as neovim while also not being nearly as hackable (probably is more extensible though being a GUI). For that amount of time I'd rather use something with larger benefits like an IDE

I suppose it's to stop a critical mass of promoters commenting "and my axe" among themselves? I agree though it doesn't really feel right to encourage more low effort posts

PRE-SUBMISSION EDIT: This is a long-winded reply and goes increasingly off-topic as it progresses, sorry. TLDR I agree

Anecdotally, I've also noticed a rapid change in the last decade or so as politicians become emboldened by Trump's success. For example, the premier of a major Canadian province has done the following:

• Took on some of Trump's advisors who claimed the COVID vaccines were a bioweapon
• Denied aspects of the well-documented cultural genocide occuring in Canada's residential schools
• Claimed that people who took a COVID vaccine would have been Nazi sympathizers
• Stated that the first three stages of cancer are "completely within your control", advocating for neuropathy
• Claimed in 2003 that smoking can reduce the risk of disease

She was previously head of the (now defunct) Wildrose party before defecting and indirectly leading to the historic 2015 election, which marked the first time a left-wing party formed a majority government in almost 80 years.

But even then the most controversial thing she said (publicly) was that 'the science on climate change "wasn't settled"', still inane but a far cry from what was to come after her return to power in 2022

Who said it was the US government? Additionally I'd wager that the people who vote both vote independent and browse these sorts of forums are people who would otherwise vote democrat. Note that there are currently many interested parties that would benefit from a republican win at this moment

Yup. If Steam wasn't around I'd have the joy of choosing between Epic, Origin, GOG (actually not bad but no official Linux client can be annoying), or GFWL (which would probably still be around in this situation)

Probably operates closer to corporate software licensing deals, i.e. "we might not catch you but if we do it's over"

If it's an external SSD I could see it being useful in order to keep native compatibility with Windows and MacOS (IIRC their other option would be FAT32 but I don't use a Windows machine so who knows)
