I’m not OP but, I run a Gitea instance for myself but still use GitHub because of things like both collaborating with others on their stuff and for others to be able to discover my stuff.

Besides, I don’t know that either GitLab nor Gitea has the kind of feature with profile README that is mentioned in the submitted link.


What type of collaboration can you do on GitHub that you can't get with Gitea or GitLab?


Open source projects are most commonly found on github.


For me, I’m the only user on my Gitea and there are millions more on Github. I mirror most of my repos to Github and that’s pretty much the only place people contribute (with issues or PRs).


The issue tracker isn't distributed.


Wouldn’t you run arm64 Debian rather than armhf Debian on the RPi 4? I haven’t used the RPi 4 in a long while so I don’t remember. But it seems weird to me that what you said would be the case.

https://www.debian.org/ports/#portlist-released


32bit armhf is still the “supported” way of running Raspberry Pi OS. I believe the 64bit build is on the horizon, but still considered beta.

If the consensus is its stable enough to give it a go though, I’ll give it a go.


I have definitely used software where it started lagging behind significantly while I was typing. That kind of stuff is absolutely infuriating.


That’s a very different problem than the 15-30ms latency discussed in the link above.


> I see a similar sentiment all the time where people say things along the lines of "Nobody really feels like an adult, we are all just muddling through" etc etc.

To me, when I used to feel like this a few years ago, it was not about the fact that I didn’t have my stuff sorted (which is also true that I hadn’t), but rather that it turned out that what I thought adult life was about when I was little turned out to not be true.

Since then I have been able to reconcile that, and to work out a direction that I am pursuing.

One footnote to that though, is that I am still not an adult in the traditional sense of having financial security and a spouse. But I am working towards that.


The graphical user interface components of macOS are proprietary software, as are a bunch of other libraries included in macOS that software packaged for macOS is likely to use.

So if this was a goal of PureDarwin then they’d have a lot of work ahead of them in order to implement those APIs.

This wiki page on the repository seems to indicate that they are not intending to do that:

https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin/wiki/Graphics

> While Darwin is the operating system underlying Mac OS X, the graphical environments of PureDarwin and Mac OS X are very different. This is because most graphical aspects of Mac OS X (especially Quartz and Aqua) are proprietary, closed-source software and are not available for PureDarwin. Hence, PureDarwin uses a more traditional UNIX-like graphics system (X server), waiting a better alternative.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNUstep may help with some of this, but it is hard to keep up with a moving target.


There’s a Coronus Goblin there, posted Dec 18 2018.

Maybe the Corona virus did not start with bat soup in China after all :O


There's also apparently a beer by the same name, from 1925.


It is known :p

But Goblins, Wikipedia says, “are almost always small and grotesque, mischievous or outright malicious”. Thus support is found for a connection between Coronus Goblin and COVID-19.


Have you ever seen people after lots of beer? :P


Haha, touché :)


And how about the psychological effects on these people of being bullied by a large group of people online?

I don’t know what I’d do if it happened to me, but I know it would leave me in an even worse state mentally than I am in, because I know how it feels like to feel that other people don’t want you around.


I agree that online bullying of individuals is bad.


Writing a book is not just adding pages, it’s also revisiting and revising what you’ve already written.

So it’s entirely possible that at some point the author ends up capturing what they wanted to capture and the total number of pages then is lower than they are today even.


Email is a dumpster fire. I run my own mail server and I don’t have any spam filtering. My inbox is full of spam and “helpful tips” and other garbage. Because of this I rarely read my email.

I would set up spam filtering but I don’t trust SpamAssasin to actually be useful rather than just another headache, because last time I was on a system where it was in use it routinely marked non-spam things as spam while simultaneously letting through a whole lot of spam. Admittedly this was years ago.

I did find Paul Graham’s essay on spam filtering inspiring and thought about doing something like that for myself. But although I have a huge corpus of spam, I don’t have a whole lot of non-spam because I don’t receive a lot of non-spam.

Spam is also annoying and uninspiring to do anything about because it is just yet another of the billions of problems that we have that were caused by other people being inconsiderate dicks :(

It currently feels like almost all problems that I could work on should not have existed in the first place and are only there because of us all being the way that we are.


The event test at the end seemed to target people older than someone in their early thirties at least. So I don’t know that this article would have anything with being in their thirties to do?

Also, I’m about to hit 30 this year so there’s that.

And also also, when I got to the question about Jurassic Park, my immediate thought was 1993. But then I became unsure whether that was for the first or the second movie so I guessed that the first one actually came out in 1984 or something. Shouldn’t have second guessed myself on that one, d’oh!

But that kind of underlines the point about age, and what they were saying also. If I were older I probably would’ve seen it in the cinema when it first came out and I’d be like “oh yeah, I remember when I went and saw that movie that was the same year that I did such and such so it must have been then”.
