Re:Git at Any Scale

Fantastic write up, but I still have doubts. As the author states: Serving git at scale is hard. I can only concur.
I feel like the article is a bit light on the design of the WAL and maintenance operations, but maybe it's me.
Anyway, I'd love to have a friendly chat with the author.

Exactly. I would love to see that design work, but it doesn't for any realistic workload.

If the developer can have a local copy of the monorepo it's not a "large" codebase.
Re:Project Glasswing: Securing critical software for the AI era

The interesting selling point about this, if the claims are substantial, is that nobody will be able to produce secure software without access to one of these models. Good for them $$$ ^^
Re:Fossil versus Git
on Monday January 12, 2026 @08:00AM (#46587839)
Fossil has some really nice ideas (although I don't like the feature bloat), but when I tried to use it I ran into so many issues and/or bugs. With git on the other hand I can't remember ever hitting a bug in decades.
I don't really like git that much, but it works pretty well most of the time.

on Thursday December 04, 2025 @06:10AM (#46146244)
This is a cool tool, I like the idea. But the way `uc machine init` works under the hood is really scary. Lot's of `curl | bash` run as root.
While I would love to test this tool, this is not something I would run on any machine :/

Same here. Pretty amazing. Almost every game in my (large) Steam libarary runs out of the box. Performance is on par with Windows. This finally allowed me to ditch Windows.
And no, I don't bother with crap that needs a kernel level anti-cheat. Simply not for me.
Re:Go is still not good
on Friday August 22, 2025 @07:34AM (#44983241)
If you don't like Go, then just let go. I hope nobody forces you to use it.
Some critique is definitely valid, but some of it just sounds like they didn't take the time to grasp the language. It's trade offs all the way. For example there is a lot I like about Rust, but still no my favorite language.

I think all of those are using git and many Gerrit as well.

That depends on your VCS. Some systems don't even allow you to "clone" anything. And yes, some of them enforce all kinds of ACLs.

Thank you for reposting. I don't want to start bashing XZ, but I honestly wonder why it's been picked up so much despite the valid criticism.
As if the compression rate increase at medium levels were so significant over bzip2 or grip.

Plenty of good choices.

Why did people think that using a cloud based password manager (or for that matter: a closed source one) was ever a good idea?

Same here. In fact I've built a very similar tool because sed/awk/grep/find didn't quite cut it and it did help a me lot to get sh* done.

Packfiles give me PTSD. They are so notoriously hard to maintain on the large scale server side.
I really wish git wasn't using them.
Re:A toolbox for a secure software supply chain
on Friday August 26, 2022 @08:22AM (#32606433)
I disagree. All the examples you mention are part of the software supply chain.
To me it doesn't matter if code comes in through a vendor, a dependency or is written in house.
It's all well within the responsibility of the organization owning and deploying the artifacts.

Welcome to dependency hell.
But then many packages are so trivial that they shouldn't even require a license.
Same goes for abandoned projects.

This serves as another example to me that governance and conflict resolution in the Debian project is really poor.
Maintainers are free to do whatever they want, even if it doesn't make any sense at all.
