I think they did that because of old disks, avoid fragmentation and if one partitions is corrupted you can always recover the important files on /home and things like that, not sure neither. 🫤

As far as I know, Linus don’t like numbers larger than 20. 😟

We need still to get into 19.x before changing its name.

Soon 7.X!

Isn’t the video saying that they are “toxic” because noobs asks questions without providing info? And that wastes their time? And if they don’t want to spend some time finding out by reading wiki + providing a full post of what they tried, the logs and info, those experts on Arch Linux aren’t going to lose time with them as they didn’t spend any time resolving or explaining their own issue… I think it’s pretty clear what the video says, if you don’t want to learn and be “independent” just keep with Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

ARM laptops cost $2000

“Mx Max” already costs $3000, right? $2000 is still cheaper compared to the “MAX” version.

Yes, I need to check it again! 🙂

it also wont benefit from updated dependency packages

If they maintain the binary properly, could cause less issues with dependencies compatibility, so it’s less pain for the DevOps team, like a container image, just pull the new image and done.

Well, this way they could install dependencies anyway just automatically, so you don’t see them unless you read before accepting the installation. I still can read this:

Install and configure the necessary dependencies
sudo yum install -y curl policycoreutils-python openssh-server perl

And then:

Add the GitLab package repository and install the package
curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

So they do some magic here, the script just installs the repository, so I can’t see exactly any dependency they are currently using.

Forgejo can use PostgreSQL perfectly → https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/installation/#postgresql-database

Looking at it, I see the following…

GitLab’s deps:

sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev libpcre2-dev build-essential git-core

Forgejo deps:

apt install git git-lfs

I am missing something?

Microsoft? I mean GitLab employees, they were just linking me and showing me their CI/CD examples that I already knew… was a bit of waste of time the meeting I did with them…

I had bad experience with GitLab people, they were saying things that I already knew and was at their documentation, so I felt like losing time with them.

Now that you both mentioned yeah, thanks for mentioning it, I want to try this again.

I heard Gitea planned to do ActivityPub too, but I didn’t like their application, and also I didn’t like Woodpicker-CI which was very limited some years ago, I lost much time learning and trying to do the same as I do with GitLab-CI and couldn’t. But, I need to try Woodpicker-CI again to see if I can do it now.

I didn’t know about Forgejo, thanks to mention it, I’m sure I will try it very soon, and Woodpicker-CI. 😆

Actually, I also got back to GitLab when I read this: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/activitypub/

Usage of ActivityPub in GitLab is governed by the GitLab Testing Agreement.

The goal of those documents is to provide an implementation path for adding Fediverse capabilities to GitLab.

I think this is the way, while using Codeberg would mean storing my code and my stuff on someone else computer, I trust them, but I just want to have it by myself.

EDIT: Ok, people already told me Codeberg uses a fork called Forgejo and I can host it myself, which sounds super cool.

I tried Codeberg, but I dislike a lot the Woodpecker-CI (a fork from Drone-CI) and I had issues as when I tried it (a year ago) it was still on beta and on development while GitLab had a very powerful and robust CI, which is what made me quit Codeberg and get back to GitLab. 🥲

Yeah right, it’s worth to learn regex for those moments when you need to rename many files with weird and unstructured names.

It’s worth to read the post just to discover this. 😆 Explainshell look good enough to be used not only by newbies, very good hints and explanation with manpages.

That’s a cool website, but maybe more for programmers or hackers (I don’t mean evil people, just people that likes to use scripts).
