Once they told me I could write embedded code and drivers with it and a modern package system they had me hook line and sinker. Learning the borrow checker was easier to me than C and makefiles lol

and selling those pros that people care about seems a better tactic to me. May not always be the most affective, but I think it's the best way to go about it in the long run, and always sits better with me.

I think sites like those will attract who they attract and want those features. I think there's probably a bit the "good ol boy system", people who know people. But I personally think there are better more open alternatives out there that have features and reasons to sell besides "xyz sucks"..

Personal opinion and all that. I would probably tell my friends or acquaintances about my concerns with it. Personal opinion pt 2 as someone working on alternatives. I think W gets a lot of press, but i think there are others that are more successful and hitting goals.

Boox has always been the goat of modern day eink devices imo. Touch has always been good, and the displays are quick/good quality, and most if not all always have android. 🫣 I just ordered one, so I guess we'll see.

looking like it is a esp32 device and may even be using CrossPoint as a base www.reddit.com/r/XTEINK/com...

(This isn't about jj, I know I was tweeting about it last night and don't want confusion there. It's very obvious that it's not just smoke and is generally being a better product for most and it's not them selling people on it by saying xyz sucks)

I personally don't think you can sell people on a product/project by saying "xyz sucks, use mine."

all click for me and are easy, or I at least know a route to what i want. but I am re loading up some videos and going try jj again. Thanks for sharing!

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 4h
before me and it like adds something on the same file I'm working on and there's a conflict rebase clicks for me that I am kind of pretending like the new change they did came in before I did my work and I have to make those changes. Moving commits around, squashing, rebasing...
110
Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 4h
All good! Got excited about it, and the way everyone is excited about jj is what keeps bringing me back to wanting to try it. The biggest thing for me is my brain just kind of works with git. Source of the work comes from a commit/physical date. So I know I'm appending to that, if someoen merges..

That's a great question. I have no clue lol First time I had them was in NYC at a pretty fancy place so no idea what those were but they were great More recently has been in like freezer packs but in the refrigeration section. Like skillet stir fry meals and those may have been frozen at one point

Also doesn't help that it's VCS and more or a means to an end for me so really hard to trade in a tool I know perfectly for one that is supposed to be 1:1, but easier to use. Most of the breakdown for me is working with remotes. Simple stuff like new branches, rebasing changes from main, etc
120
Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 13h
I think for me it mostly boils down to I know how to do everything I need to or want with git and after that I personally never felt like I needed an improvement in it It's hard to go from knowing exactly what to do to a new tool that is supposed to do the same stuff better, but I don't know it.

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 13h
Maybe one day soon, I got a bit too much work I want to power through in the next week or two and idk if I got learning a new VCS in the middle of that 😅

PDS Gatekeeper still supports captcha's on account signups so may still want to keep it around if you are using it to stop bot spam but have an open PDS.

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 17h
If you have watchtower enable most PDSs auto update at midnight, will want to run docker compose pull or pull the :latest docker image on how you have it setup Also if you are just using PDS Gatekeeper only for 2FA on a small PDS can just remove it and the endpoint proxies and return on 2FA in app

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 17h
New Gatekeeper update! If you are updating to the new ref PDS version 0.4.5036 you will want to get this update as well, if not and you have 2FA turned on via Gatekeeper may not be able to login with password sessions. If you are a larger PDS operator running gatekeeper may check the PR notes

Migration to the ref PDS's 2FA #20
As of PDS version 0.4.5036 the ref PDS now has 2FA 🥳 (thanks emelia!) - Fixes a bug where PDS Gatekeeper would have worked just fine till a migration pr, but we forwarded the 2fa token on pds gatekee...

We had some brief down time about 15 mins ago and expecting some more in roughly 45mins that should not last longer than about 10 minutes. This will be around 21:30 UTC, after this it should be smooth sailing and you can login till your heart's content again

Aldi's is the only place I know where you can get frozen sushi and apple frangipane tarts in the same place.

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 21h
If you're using gatekeeper just for 2FA and not anything else like captcha, you should be able to just drop it and the reverse proxy endpoints in caddy and should still have 2FA working once you turn it back on

If you are using PDS Gatekeeper on your PDS you may want to hold off a bit before updating to the latest release (0.4.5036). Will have another post out once tested and verified it's working
