  • On a more serious note, how the hell do people use GitHub? I was the Gitlab admin at my prior employer (and self-host my own instance) and now I am just a user of GitHub in my new role and jesus does it lack any organization whatsoever, it's actions are crap compared to Gitlab CI/CD, and it's projects are a flaming pile or garbage



  • Not having an insta isn't weird or what turned her off - being fucking creepy and weird about it then lying is what turned her off… Jesus

    Being active on a social network is not the same as having a social life - meet people, make friends, and make an effort to reach out to them. THAT's having a social life



  • After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role… Holy shit does GitHub suck. It's organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don't know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.

    Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github


  • No idea why you are getting down voted for asking a question especially as it brings up something important around the DSA and it's highest profile members. I will look for the article but saw that the national DSA org came out saying the event was not planned (or supported? trying to remember how strong the language was) by the national org but rather the NY chapter. It will be interesting to see the fallout and whether that changes the power balance within org leadership



  • It's funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They're past their series F - they've got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it's been downhill since.

    Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)


  • Which I get - I'm starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue



  • APC is nice in an enterprise-like setup and the management software is really mature. That said, you don't get much for your money and for a homelab, I've been happy with my Tripplite UPS which was about half the cost. I got the expansion battery as well and the whole setup cost me less than $700
