Yes, this maximal decentralized usage where everybody has their own copy but can collaborate and pick and choose from other copies was a central idea in the creation of git. Ultimately it was made for Linux Kernel development and that is how that works over there.

You do not even need to use git specific protocols. One can simply import patch sets and mail them to each other.

Git was made to work decentralized and repositories are trivial to mirror.

I am using eternity. There, it’s just a link but every word is surrounded by ~.

Unfortunately, I don’t think lemmy.world is authoritative in regards to formatting and Lemmy itself – iirc – does not suggest formatting guidelines.

Spoiler formatting is also a pain because of that :/

Why all the tilde symbols? That’s what makes it quite distracting and hard to read for me tbh.

Not to mention there are so many more ways to fuck up security when configuring it all on your own outside a container.

Edit: of course one can also fuck up security with a container

There is a reason for that. PDFs de facto “standard” is complex and documentation is sparse. PDFs were also designed to be static and uneditable which makes a lot of simple edits more complex to implement than people think.

The poor kid

I don’t see why an nfs setup wouldn’t work but it could generate a lot of network traffic.

In the end test for yourself if the performance is acceptable and keep a backup

Beets is great. I’ve used it for years now

I was wondering what’s up with the comments but then I realized the main feed sent me to .ml.

I was curious not knowing that evince is getting retired and looked into this It seems there was a problem even for established contributors which is why it was eventually forked. This Blogpost goes into detail.

It seems the main maintainer had very little time for the project. I don’t know if that was the case 4 years ago but if it was it would explain some things.

No thanks. I don’t want nor need to be in the club. Nor will I ever go out of my way to show people that I’m “worth having around” in my free time. I don’t think that’s healthy.

If they don’t see my worth or I am actually worthless to have around I’ll search for someplace else. Like I said already: I have never had that problem in any other project.

Also I don’t feel entitled to have my patches merged. I can maintain them myself if necessary.

Yes which is why I never said the whole of gnome is like that but what my experience was and why I suggested investigating if the claim has merit.

Admittedly I was completely ignorant of this before but if they switched (back?) to flac then it seems they at least listen to criticism, no?

Or what did they handle poorly? I was thinking of getting tidal but at the moment I am still content with my offline library.

Great attitude! I was the issue all along. Who would’ve thought.

Strange that I didn’t have that problem almost anywhere else where I contributed.

Edit: you do see how your comment matches my experience that it feels more like a closed club of elites right?

Yea I think there is a misunderstanding. My first question was not rhetorical. I was just expressing that my personal experience matches the one described above.

With that both statements could have some truth: 5/6 MRs could be merged and it could still be that they dislike external contributions.

I will not file a complaint or anything like that. It was not that I was insulted nor assaulted just they gave me the vibe that external contribution was not very welcome. While frustrating that is ok, even if it could’ve been better communicated. Also it was like 4 years ago.

MRs from who? Because in my experience it often feels like a closed club in gnome land.

I’ve had experience trying to contribute to evince the gnome PDF viewer. It was so frustrating and I was immediately and repeatedly confronted with negativity and distrust that I quit. That was the only time I did that after making a serious effort.

If you scare away anyone else it’s no wonder that it seems like there is no problem.

Hold your horses. An RC is not a release. I don’t trust it.

MQA?
