@kyhwana I don't mind paying, as long as my money isn't then going to directly fund fascism.

OK, Bitwarden, I better not find out about any shady payments in support of fascists, because moving password managers is a pain in the ass.

Carney on what he'd say to Putin at the G20: "Get out of Ukraine. Give back all of Ukraine to Ukraine. End this war."

I miss the old-fashioned FOSS drama, where if you knew someone’s three-letter initials and they were an asshole, you just called them an asshole or ignored them, and didn’t worry that (1) they were a vengeful billionaire and/or (2) that they represented the pending downfall of democracy

HELP NEEDED! PLEASE RT

My Husband has just been made redundant.

He was the Art director on Disney Dreamlight Valley who actually turned the project around from yet another mobile game, to the multiplatform, biggest success Gameloft has ever had with a game.

He was also supporting mine and our daughter's disabled asses. We now have no private insurance and have come up against brick walls in the Quebec public health system.

We basically need him employed ASAP in the Montreal. Please RT!

Reposting because I didn't take privacy off

@ArcanaShadow Ha, yes, but the whole "taking his wife to New York" kinda goes against this being in ancient times. ;)

Man, the Chinese course on Duolingo really is choke-full of AI-generated content. I just had one of those "someone calls Lily" lessons and I'm pretty sure it's voiced by elevenlabs. Annoyingly, it's a cutesy kid's voice, but it's talking about taking his wife to visit New York. blobcatgooglytableflip

That feeling when you were using 1Password because it's Canadian, but we have fascists, too.

@Spider the bundles are fully set up now, so if you set transfer.bundleURI=true, then you will immediately benefit from them, plus any local CDN caching.

@rpardini shipping tarballs of a git tree is perfectly reasonable for infrastructure you trust. blobcatthumbsup

I've considered publishing something like this for others as well, but I wouldn't honestly recommend grabbing a tarball of a git tree from somewhere and running commands inside it (git implicitly trusts the hooks) -- so the potential for abuse was too great.

Got git bundle clones working reliably. This is a feature in newer git versions that allows offloading downloads to a CDN. But:

a) it's not currently very useful without redoing how we generate bundles -- we first made it work for Android's "repo" tool, which is very blunt in how it works.
b) it must be enabled in the client (set transfer.bundleURI=true) to even trigger -- it's not on by default.

I'll play with bundle generation next, especially for stable.git -- maybe we can prebuild bundles for specific branches.

Ratko Mladić would like to let Putin know that, if he's afraid of being hanged by his own troops, there's a very safe cell in Hague where he can live out the rest of his life, and die an old man.

Thank you for your kind offer, but a solution where we have to send all of our traffic through a third-party entity is a non-starter.

A bunch of handmade paracord dog collars ready for the scout fundraiser. It's the first year I'm making these, so I'm keeping the number deliberately low since I have no idea how much demand there will be.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs.

Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too.

Luckily, I have a guide for that.

This seems to be a popular question, but I really just used matplotlib's builtin "funky xkcd-like graphs" feature:

Reply to @forst@mastodon.social
@forst shallow clones require us to gather about 1GB of random objects, compress them on the fly, then keep that pack in RAM as the client that requested the shallow clone downloads them. If someone does this occasionally, it's no big deal. However, as you can imagine, having 20 or so systems do this all at once (as is common for CI farms), this is super CPU and RAM heavy.
