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.
