@threed ah, your first toot was kind of ambiguous. this one makes sense.well, if you wanted to judge a product by the choice of service providers they use to host their services, then you shouldn't be using a lot of other software either. I know #GitLab is hosted on #Azure as well. I can speculate that #GitHub and #npm might move from #AWS to #Azure in the coming future too.If you code in #JavaScript and push to GitHub, are you going to stop? That's a very silly argument to make @yisraeldov@yarmo

@yisraeldov also then, you shouldn't use #LinkedIn or #SlideShare either. They're owned by #Microsoft too, on a nested level like #Github and #npm.but that's not the topic of discussion here. we're talking about how the term "open source" is being (ab)used by mis-interpreting its meaning by releasing code with a read-only license.@threed @yarmo

@kev I was about to say that too, but then I thought it was too obvious that other people might have already asked for it πhere's my question : why is it only $56,000? why isn't it $175bn ( or how much ever the company is actually worth )?wait, I know, maybe, it should be as much as it's share price ( whenever the TLD was allocated ). wait, was the share price of GOOGL at $56,000 when the TLD was allocated? π€¨π³π€@amolith

@amolith that would be my ideal default environment if #JavaScript did not exist. Thanks to it existing, and some websites that I absolutely can't say "No" to, I need a #DesktopEnvironment.

@amolith I know. But I was saying that's how I'd prefer to work on my machine by default even after installation. Alas, #JavaScript ruined that experience for me. And I was blaming it for making me install a #DesktopEnvironment at all.

#TIL you can't have 'gitlab', 'wordpress' or 'ghost' in top-level domain names because they are protected trademarks.It is strictly prohibited by #GitLab and #WordPress; but unclear whether it applies to sub-domains as well.sources :- GitLab : https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/growth-marketing/brand-and-digital-design/brand-guidelines/#trademark- WordPress : http://wordpressfoundation.org/trademark-policy/- Ghost : https://ghost.org/trademark/ > Automatic Restriction.

@selea @hackerncoder in that case here's a new idea for a service to host for the world - #GNUSocial I had the domain in my sights earlier. I was surprised no one had got it earlier. But I didn't want to commit to hosting GNU Social without enough time.I couldn't think of anything better to host on the domain other than GNU Social.I'm happy to know that it is someone I know ( on the internet ) who got it after all.

I was researching on system load averages and came across this blog post : http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-08-08/linux-load-averages.htmlI was surprised with the dedication that this person went ( literally ) digging into archives from 24 years to find the source of one particular change - why #linux factors disk usage ( or any TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE process ) into the system load equation.( thread )

> I dumped "git log -p" for the entire Linux github repository, which was 4 Gbytes of text, and began reading it backwards to see when the code first appeared. This, too, was a dead end. The oldest change in the entire Linux repo dates back to 2005, when Linus imported Linux 2.6.12-rc2, and this change predates that.

> Trying to discover, at least, when this change occurred, I searched tarballs on kernel.org and found that it had changed by 0.99.15, and not by 0.99.13 β however, the tarball for 0.99.14 was missing. I found it elsewhere, and confirmed that the change was in Linux 0.99 patchlevel 14, Nov 1993. I was hoping that the release description for 0.99.14 by Linus would explain the change, but that too, was a dead end:

> My search was starting to feel cursed. Thankfully, I found some older linux-devel mailing list archives, rescued from server backups, often stored as tarballs of digests. I searched over 6,000 digests containing over 98,000 emails, 30,000 of which were from 1993. But it was somehow missing from all of them. It really looked as if the original patch description might be lost forever, and the "why" would remain a mystery.

@selea I have been putting off setting up #OpenDMARC by #TrustedDomainProject for so long now.Now, I think that was for the best π

@selea I was implying laziness without saying it π I didn't even _start_ trying to set-up #OpenDMARC Β―\_(γ)_/Β―.

@selea did you mean the server room?I've spent many nights in the 'coldest place on the planet' ( according to co-workers who were curious as to what I was doing going in and coming out of an obscure door in the wall ) π

@selea did you need downtime that you needed to stay overnight? if it was 'very little maintenance', then couldn't you do it during work-hours?

I recall seeing a #CSS project that was inspired by the CSS of #SourceHut.Someone extracted all the CSS niceties of sourcehut and made it a standalone project. But I can't seem to find it now. Maybe my search skills are poor. But I've spent at least 30 minutes searching for it though.My memory is very vague, but I think it was on GitHub. I faintly recall thinking about the irony. I wonder if the project still exists. Does someone know about it?
