Oh. Thanks for the tip. This might make me finally embrace powershell. I’ve been using WSL+zsh+fzf as a Windows CLI for continuity with day job Mac tools, but git CLI performance is only usable inside the WSL file system.
Happy to note after a couple years using S-Gear that I tinker with it less than I expected and haven't been seriously tempted to buy an amp. I think having the option to try all the presets is satisfying enough, whereas with amps I would always wonder if just one more pedal purchase would find the magic tone. I still need more guitars, though.
It’s a little heavy, but I can say it runs fine in a 1 GB VPS, with the addition of a 1 GB swap file to compile the front end during installation and upgrade.
Yep. There are even settings to require a login to view any content, designed for private instances such as for classrooms, which effectively locks down the instance. That’s how I use it for my family.
Ah, they have a card in progress for a one-click Digital Ocean install [1]. Fantastic! This is an incredible open source project to watch, not your typical library or system service, but a real, polished app.
Polls functionality is in master, just waiting for release. My kids are going to love this.
I set up a private Mastodon server for my family several weeks ago and we're loving it. It's a mighty impressive Rails/React app, very well designed and implemented. I have a few minor UI quibbles based on experience with twitter, but the design is really good, responsive, and snappy.
The kids run Fedilab on hand-me-down, wifi-only Android phones and just go to town with emojis, gifs, and photos. The parents share more of their days with the kids rather than only texting each other.
The setup guide is great--I followed it on a 1GB Vultr VPS and was up and running easily, except for one maddening hurdle, which is that on 1GB server you do need a swap file to successfully precompile JS assets. See [1] for the workaround. I guess this is just normal in 2019. Otherwise all the services run fine with 1GB once compiled.
I wish it supported locking down public posts at the admin level, but that's just my use case. The login system blocks most access, and public posts can be blocked with nginx authentication and tweaking the list of streams flagged public in the streaming service.
I spent some time recently cleaning up my Putty sessions. My goal was to control all colors in the Putty settings and have everything look good with tmux, bash, and emacs out of the box. The result was basically what the OP arrived at. It works well as long as the Putty and tmux terminal types match (e.g. putty-256color and tmux-256color, respectively) with the exception of emacs isearch highlighting, which has bad contrasting defaults that also obscure the foreground text of the current match (why do we even bother with cyan and magenta?).
I think you're right. That sounds exactly like something amazon would do and how people would respond. I must have turned those emails off, which makes seeing the answers utterly stupefying.
It is absurd how people actually do this all the time in Amazon product questions. Will it work with my Samsung phone? "I don't know." Does it come with batteries? "I think it did."
It is good to see the support here. I am unpleasantly surprised at the comments admonishing her for not lawyering up, though. She bothered to write publicly, which is more than anyone outside the situation could rightly ask. She wrote very well on painful, personal events and I think can be proud of how she handled it. It opens the door for others, and Uber management is going to have to deal with it one way or another this week.
This cannot be overstated. I think many of us see the mortgage, taxes, and insurance are less than rent and call it a win. We are vaguely aware of the money pit and getting out issues but they are hard to predict and easier to sweep under the rug. This conversation should always be accompanied with, "Assume $5k per year for maintenance," or some related concrete number based on condition and size, so we force ourselves to deal with a number instead of brushing it off. Also, real numbers for seller's closing costs.
Still, I think for most markets in the US anyway, buying does make economic sense if you plan to stay in it for several years and enjoy or don't mind taking care of a building, to use peer's phrase.
An offline cheat sheet of those git commands comes in hand occasionally, too.
