Haha that’s awesome. Thanks for the bit of local lore!

Sounds honestly like it’d be a bit of a spooky spot secluded in the middle of the night. Frisky teens do be pretty crazy brave. <_<

As was watching the submarine races

… This sounds like a euphemism uh… Beyond my depth.

Puns aside: …Wat? Lol

This perfectly explains where we got retail management hierarchy from.

This was really informative, thank you so much for taking the time! Definitely bookmarking this. :)

I was looking up further why you’d use a bare repo over a standard one. Somebody said for just sharing a repo between users, “snapshots just take up unnecessary space.”

…But would that mean you can’t roll back history? Maybe I’m ignorant on the term snapshot in Git context lol.

But yeah, I really appreciate the post and I think that’ll get me on the right foot, to actually developing games instead of setting up yet another tool and procrastinating what I want to actually be doing anyway. 😂

Glad my instinct was correct about not using Syncthing for this purpose. XD

That’s some really helpful advice, thank you! 😃 I actually didn’t know you could just make any local folder a repo like that.

Would a Forgejo instance still be helpful if I wanted to have “one point of truth” between multiple machines even if I’m the only dev? I already use Syncthing, but for some reason I feel like there’d be a lot of sync conflicts and stuff.

The other main reason for wanting to learn Git, of course, is because it’s otherwise more difficult to try out changes to scripts and experiment, without finding yourself lost in the weeds and forgetting what worked last.

My current “version control” is “copy the entire project folder before you do anything major.” 😂

I remember this confusion a LOT back when main-branch Blender had its own game engine built in.

Forums were full of people saying crap like :

“Don’t use that, because since you used Blender which is GPL it means you have to provide the source code to your incredible GOTY contender and then everybody will beat you at life!!!”

There was a lot of trepidation about this, but for the first few years they not only kept their promise about supporting FOSS, but actually made it better by allowing small private repos to get many of the services that were previously gated for open FOSS or paid repos.

• They embraced! :D
• They extended! :D
• . . .aw, shit. :/

I’ve only a basic understanding of using Git myself, but I think I’m gonna learn it with a self-hosted Forgejo for my Godot projects too.

Then for the parts that don’t have feature parity, I won’t know what I’m missing, and I have no need for “iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD LeAdiNg oPtiMiZeD sYnErGyStiC wOrKfLoWs” or whatever hahaha.

It does definitely present a conundrum if you want people to see your open source software though. Damn network effect. =\

Definitely not because its bite is plush and soft, like a mouth full of cotton. That’d be a dangerous assumption one could make. 😬

And even then, mainly aimed and enterprise customers, right?

“We’ve detected viruses heading for your computer!”

“Who’s your favorite cooling brand? Corsair? BeQuiet? Noctua?”

“…Lasko.”

HD is premium tier :(

Have you heard about the recent fuckups of fedora? fedora is a shitshow.

Oh really? I guess I haven’t. 😬

Yeah it was late here so I think I was poorly mushing two separate thoughts together there. I meant I was thinking of moving to a distro that isn’t as bleeding-edge for the laptop I’m not updating every single day…But also I should find something that still has a nice large software variety so I stay off AUR.

OpenSUSE has the “Open Build System” which I’ve used for like one package. So that’s pretty neat.

This is really tough because I have two gamers in the family using Nvidia cards I want to help move off of Windows, but I don’t want them running into having to roll back as often as I have or fiddle too much, but I feel like Mint is a little too far behind.

So I was considering the KDE spin of Fedora for them…But yeah, the answer isn’t so easy anymore lol.

Whelp…I’ve REALLY loved EndeavourOS for my laptop, especially because I felt I could mess around with stuff, but maybe this is my call to use something like Fedora or a OpenSUSE variant (I love Tumbleweed dearly).

Nothing against the incredible Arch, but I’m deffos that user who does

ENTER.

I want to learn, but also I’m a bit of a danger to myself if this malware threat is this broad.

When that forum is a reddit thread:

“I got it working on my end.”

“How did you solve the problem?”

“This message has been script deleted because reddit was stupid salmon truck cantaloupe spezsucks”

“Wow, that fixed it! Thanks! I have no problems with it now at all!”

Yeah don’t mess with the Debian gang. They’ll take forever to reach you but when they eventually do, they’ll be ready. XD

Haha, I’m seriously wondering if there’s not some kind of script we’re supposed to run first that’s like “Okay, new stable release now. Fetch and replace the latest repos!” Maybe in the desktop environment?

At least like with most things, Linux Mint I remember being so easy to upgrade to a whole new release right there in that universal update program. I don’t have to worry about that tangling up anyone I set up with it. It actually feels exciting hahaha.

All that being said: Rolling or point release or whatever – SET UP SNAPSHOTS. YOU’RE WELCOME. o_o hahaha

Haha Debian is really cool and I’m glad it’s there! Definitely rock solid! Don’t wanna throw any shade at their very important work. :)

…I’m just too goofy to update it properly sometimes. 😅 Skill issue lol.

I’m probably a big newb, but on my headless Debian machines, major updates screw me up sometimes too.

• “Ah! All my updates can’t be found on the server? Oh we’re done with “Bo-Peep” and moving to “PotatoHead” now? Maybe I should be on the newsletter or something…”
• Change some sources in that one text file I gotta look up every time…
• apt update && apt dist-upgrade “Oh, that’s a lot of errors…”

I’m sure it’s not that bad and I’m being dramatic but I do kinda appreciate my rolling OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for this reason lol. I feel like newbies would struggle with that major release upgrade process…
