The author knew it was a bad idea

This is a joke, right? OneFlow isn’t trunk-based development and is actually gitflow with different steps. I have yet to see any org actually use trunk-based development mostly because I’ve not seen cherry-picking from the trunk adopted at any large scale.

For those that don’t know, he ultimately backed EME which was dumb.

I don’t think you understand what the tool is

Please don’t take me as a GH shill because I’m not. I’m not sure we read the same email given your projects. Actions on GH runners are dropping in cost and there’s a new fractional cost for self-hosted. For the average user, especially those on GH runners, costs are going down. Looking at your repo, you haven’t run anything since July. Your workflow files use GH runners. Nothing in your history suggests you’re leaving the free tier so I don’t get this FUD at all. General Microsoft hate? Fuck yeah. Shitty GH service? Fuck yeah. Plenty of reasons to dunk but this was not one of them. M

I’m incredibly skeptical of the self-hosting email server claims. With the past 30 years of spam, most of the majors make it nigh impossible to do so. I know there are diehards out there that make it happen; it’s not as easy as it was 20 years ago though.

Edit: Very useful HN thread with multiple perspectives (not just my doom and gloom)

The big given example was gigabit throughput. Most consumers in the US, businesses included, don’t have access to internet infrastructure capable of multigig because of regulatory capture. Those that do are already using multigig hardware which, unsurprisingly, hasn’t really changed much.

The current administration believes the same stuff. She left with the admin change yet agrees with things like the current admin’s approach to AI regulation.

My initial take on the sticker was the whole “fire exit git commit git push;” I do see this other perspective now

We’re just quitting without writing? Living very dangerously aren’t we?

It’s still just another type of ID so you can do lookups on it. Nothing would change. UUIDs are used all the time.

Note that the linked article answers your FOSS question.

I assume this is Poe’s Law in action. Elon historically doesn’t understand shit about tech so the commenter is just highlighting something that’s been GA for other tools for years.

This isn’t recent. This has been an ongoing thing for at least 20 years (if not longer; that’s just the earliest I remember having this convo). Yes, it cleans the wound by killing things but it also fucks up the healthy tissue around the wound (see other comments for a more scientific explanation). Having some in a medical kit is useful for other activities such as diluting with water for an ear rinse, diluting with water for various mouth stuff (rinse not swallow), and some skin treatments (again, diluting first).

Strange; the page is shilling for a product that doesn’t use raw HTML for its site.

This is just distributed functions, right? This has been a thing for years. AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP Cloud Functions, and so on. Not everything that uses these is built on a distributed functions model but a fuck ton of enterprises have been doing this for years.

There are an unsurprisingly large number of Ubuntu 16 boxes in the clouds. A quick google even shows a Spring 2024 course from a major US university recommending 32-bit Ubuntu 16.

And as long as you don’t need simple access to most features such as volumes. The podman implementation on not Linux leaves quite a bit to be desired for anyone trying to do more than just run a binary wrapped in a container. I’m not throwing shade because it’s FOSS and anything is better than Docker. Only Docker will work for a production-capable dev environment on not Linux unless podman’s development has exponentially increased in the last year since I tried to move a shop to podman on not Linux.

As long as you’re on Linux, podman is superior and will do all of the things you’re asking about. If you need to also support Windows or Mac, Docker is the only thing that will work (although people have told me Rancher isn’t bad now for a couple of years).
