I'm a marine electronics engineer and I work on fishing vessels to ferries and I have seen certain led lighting kill VHF and WiFi signals before.

Also have you tried changing if possible the channel of your WiFi in case the one you're on is congested ?CC: @ryanc@infosec.exchange

There is nothing wrong with self promotion and after all people that don't know about your blog might never discover you.

I'm after some advice from folk that use #Git . I have my own self hosted Git server and I have one repository that I'd like to empty of all content and history. I know I can just delete the remote repository and recreate it again starting a fresh. But would using git push --force <remote> <branch> not just do the same by overwriting the remote repository with the locals contents ? Or could I end up with files in the remote that are not in my local ???I should also say that I am the only person that pushes to this remote repo too. Any help or advice is very much appreciated and thank you.

Thank you, So would you recommend that way or just delete the repo and start afresh ?

So I'm guessing that I could do the following from within the remote Git repository to delete it's history and contents, Allowing me to start a fresh by pushing new files from the local repo ???git branch -D mastergit checkout --orphan mastergit rm -rf *

Still trying to work out what's best. So I have a Git repo that is full of dotfiles and I wish to use this repo. Only thing is I setup my computer again and I do not want to clone the contents to my computer as I have remade most files with loads of fixes which were never committed to any repo. So I want to start adding them back to the remote repo but I know it will complain.Is this what I'd use git push --force origin <branch-name> for to allow me to push my newer local changes to the remote thereby overwriting the matching files if they already exist in the remote Git repo ?

I think I'm a little confused here so I'll try explain. I have a remote Git repo with dotfiles in it. I have setup a new computer and made my home directory the repo like so.https://justine.smithies.me.uk/dotfiles.htmlI have changed so much locally on my computer that I do not want to lose any changes that I have made locally at all. I do not care about history on the remote but I'd like to be able to add back or overwrite what is on the remote with the copies in my local ( computers ) repo .Does that make sense as in my head it does ????

Yes agreed but once I setup my home dir as a git repo that has no history and try committing say a file like .kshrc then pushing it to the remote then isn't Git going to complain about the differences and there being no matching history locally ? How do I overcome that as I cannot do git clone or pull as that will mess up my working local files.

Sorry I know I like to make things difficult for myself rather than taking the easy route and starting afresh but I can't help myself. Thank you for your help though. 😉
