Maybe you could go to:
Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Tokens (Classic)
And then create a new token there.
Then you should be able to clone a private repo as long as you have git installed.
When you git clone your private repo, git will ask for your username, enter that. Then it’s gonna ask for your password. Don’t enter your GitHub password. Enter your token.
Clone should work.
Ah, right. Thank you for your service. 🫡
It’s been pretty painless to switch to https://www.waterfox.net/ on desktop. There’s also a Waterfox app for Android.
yaysimplifies the AUR installation
Simple to me means not having to install some random extra tool and just using pacman like normal. That’s why I grumble.
I like package managers just fine. I don’t want to have to have a plurality of software management tools.
Same. I grumble when I have to install things through the AUR. I’d prefer if it was in the official repos.
can continue to blissfully ignore
That’s what I’ve been doing. I haven’t run into a situation where I’ve needed to mess with Flatpak. 🤷 Curious to hear other folk’s experiences though.
Also for your consideration, Flatpak seems to be mainly used for desktop GUI apps. You’ll still need your regular package manager to install CLIs. So… if you wanna keep your software management tools to a minimum…
TIL about user lingering. Interesting.
Quick review after using JOSM for 2 days:
It’s not so bad. It takes a little bit of effort to learn, but definitely has more powerful features. Also, it does feel faster to navigate around the map compared to the web versions. 👍
The intro page was actually helpful to get me started: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Introduction
Apparently, Floorp is another Firefox fork. Has anyone tried this?
OK! You’ve had 1 hour to check them out. :D What’s the difference between the two? They’re both Firefox forks, right?
Quick review after installing JOSM.
Wow. OK. I can totally see why only 6.9% of users use JOSM for making edits. It’s clunky, hard to use, and absolutely daunting for new users. For people making their first contributions, the browser editors are way more user friendly.
That being said, the other half of that statistic is interesting.
In 2024 it was used by 6.9% users, but they made 59.1% of all edits.
All right. JOSM seems to have some pretty passionate users. Thank you for your service. 🫡
I’ll take some time to learn it.
the keyboard failed multiple times, as well as one of the fans and eventually one thunderbolt port
Aw, dang. That sucks.
I’m typing this on a 2020 9310 and fortunately it’s been pretty solid for me. Everything still works great. If anything, the palm rests are a little worn now, but that’s about it. I also have an older XPS 9370 from 2018 that I keep as a spare and that’s still working fine as well.
I haven’t had to open up this laptop yet, but good to know there are service manuals. Thanks!
put up a fight against management 3 layers above me
Eh, yeah. I’ve been in that kind of situation before. Sucks.
Still, you should try to go rogue where you can. Not for the company, fuck the company, do it to protect yourself. Like, maybe you could create your own git repo and push the changes there yourself. Don’t tell anyone else, just do it privately. You don’t need to use GitHub, you could push to a local folder on your computer or a USB drive.
Usually projects (especially large projects) are kept in a version control system like git. This is a prime reason why. With version control, it wouldn’t have mattered if you deleted the docker compose file, you could just bring it back. Also, usually every change has to go through version control, this way you always have a backup of the latest version of the file.
Wow! These are great, thanks!
Oooooh, interesting. I didn’t know about these other options. I need to learn more about these. I will happily drop Rapid for anything else.
I’m not familiar with plugins… have any favorite resources or videos I could watch to learn more?
I’ve been using Rapid to add buildings to my hometown. Seems like this would be basically impossible with native editor on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ ?? Well, technically not impossible, just it would take a reeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy long time and would hurt my wrist a lot more?
I do hate it’s made by Facebook though… https://github.com/facebook/Rapid
Yeah! It’s been great for me. No detection issues or weird bugs. The mobile and TV apps are also great!
My top pick for a Linux laptop would be the Dell XPS 13 9310. It’s old I guess, from 2020. But the build quality and Linux support is excellent. You could get a used one from eBay for around 400USD.
Alternatively, maybe you could look for a used Thinkpad X1 Carbon. I’ve purchased several of those in the past and have had really good experiences with them. The hardware is great and the software support is excellent.
I would avoid Framework. I actually just switched back to the Dell XPS 13 9310 after a year of using the Framework. Linux support on the Framework is just not as good as some other laptops. The biggest con of Framework is the HiDPI display. You will never get the display to look good. You’ll have to do a ton of tweaking and debugging—and you’ll still have some apps that are blurry or have weirdly sized icons or text. See: https://lemmy.today/post/22761155/13770242
Would this cause a problem? I’m assuming this would be deserialized to the same value, no?
