Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve “federation” by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn’t suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it’s distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.

Depends how they define robust. MySQL has a myriad of features SLQite doesn’t have and won’t ever have. If they mean something like user configuration then SQLite is just out by default.

(Coming from a SQLite fan.)

Honestly, this is always more effective than a comment in the config because it can get removed. All it would take is a popular guide having the config with that option on and the comment gone.

I think the ZIP standard has something similar and it causes similar problems.

Git is already a distributed version control system.

Yeah I am very annoyed there aren’t many (or any?) very compact adapters.

The problem is that getting a new standard is gonna just mean more of the same shit with like a good ten years of swapping because USB is so widely used. USB ain’t perfect, I dislike a lot of things about it, but starting from scratch isn’t gonna improve things.

If it was the sort of magical scenario where everyone swapped overnight, hell yeah.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.

The majority of it is indeed harmless fun, but I personally know someone who believes they don’t mesh well with specific signs. So much so that once they learn someone has that sign their opinion sours.

Like the old USB micros sort of?

You end with

The “fistful of different cables to keep track of” is only getting worse as we head into the USB4 era and it needs to be kicked in the head and replaced entirely.

But started with

need an entirely unrelated team to invent something entirely new to replace it

You want more cables?

HDMI does not have screws.

It does do some static stuff but I don’t know if you’d be able to feel that from another room.

CRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It’s somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.

It’s so infuriating to me that there isn’t a way to just encrypt traffic without verifying it’s part of a chain. By all means, give a nag warning in browsers, but ugh, I think that ship has long since sailed. Plus, realistically, you’d need just as many scary warnings to deter the average user that they might be getting MITMed.

Can you not issue your own certificate? I guess it depends on how many devices and what types of devices need to connect. It’s be a one time effort per device (importing your own self signed cert) versus one time effort per service per X days.

Last time I checked it out there was a lot of racist spam. It seems better now. Maybe it was one bad actor or the spam filter is better.

“I didn’t steal and distribute your work, I just made a machine distill it down and able to copy everything meaningful about it!”

“Hello, this brand of tools that was specifically made for people to learn about? Yes, you’re no longer allowed to attempt to understand how they work.”

How exactly are you getting these in the first place? I just tried to share the url but it didn’t do anything odd.
