  • isn’t the better solution not to accept PRs from unknown / untrusted sources

    I think that’s partly the point of this exercise - if they find a meow they now know this is an untrusted source.

    Because it’s pretty easy to say ‘ignore untrusted sources’ but when you’re maintaining an open source repo (especially if it’s still pretty small/new) this detection is part of the cognitive burden. Almost every contribution will technically be from an unknown source for a long time, until, if you’re lucky, some drive-by contributors turn regular.

    I think that’s the perfect choice of distinguishing phrases.

    KDE is very customizable (perhaps too much for more casual users) while Gnome is hackable with the extension system - but it will always feel a little more tacked on, be a little less stable, prone to upgrade breakage, etc.

    As a corollary to OPs argument, there’s also a reason Niri and Cosmos didn’t stay Gnome extensions.

    (But at the end of the day, if the Gnome experience niche works for you, more power to you.)

    Can you expand on your ways of rectifying this divide? How do you prioritise, how do you keep this from pulling apart (or put it back together again after)?

    I ask because your description speaks quite deeply to me and it’s a recognition I had for a couple years but still no real solutions discovered.

    As a very concrete example, my partner loves to do the typical weekend pub/bar night, or turn a beer after work into a long evening; every now and again go to a club, concert, even a play or just coffee with others. I want to support them, and often find myself enjoying the activities too. But the days afterwards I am just destroyed with no capacity for creative output. Creative output is the only thing that relaxes and helps me recuperate from social outings. So every time after we do something I’m just a solitary wreck for like a week after. And I don’t really know how to break this cycle yet, without giving up the kind of activities my partner (and frankly, I) enjoy doing together for a long time in between.

    Hold on, I’m a little confused. Are you talking about paperless the document management software (and it’s ng/ngx forks) or a different software with the same name?

    Because you can set up mail inbox processing in that software but I’m not sure how that connects to forwarding to multiple different mailboxes, or vice versa profit from merging multiple forwards.


  • I’m not so sure.

    The right wing would be instantly defederated from the rest while the left wing builds three identical versions that all say they wanna go forward while pulling the plane in different directions.

    Everybody hates the huge central fuselage but can’t disconnect from it without falling from the sky.

    Most of the discussion focuses on snide comments between the slightly different wing designs while all the critical tail components are held together by 3 single selfhosting admins. Then one of them goes on holiday and the tail fin just disappears.






  • I am one of those happy taskwarrior users. For more advanced recurrence syntax in taskwarrior there’s also the relatively new nautical extension. It essentially splits recurrence into things that recur based on calendar/clock events (e.g. every first workday of the month, every second Sunday, etc.) or based on previous completions (e.g. do something 3 days after last time, or every x hours after last doing it).

    It’s pretty neat and functional but, fair warning, also early on in development and changing quite radically through its versions still.
