Gitlab of course. It's mature.

Used and using Gitlab with success in all of my companies. It is maybe a bit boring and a little bit slow, but it is enterprise and has everything you need. Included time on the market..

Looking forward to 13! Debian 12 in combination with Pipewire is my go to daily use professional audio workstation for 2 years. Coming from Windows, there are no more forced updates anymore preventing me from doing my job. This is a releave. It works so good! Linux for professional audio is really an option now! Most high-end converters are connected via MADI or ADAT anyway, so there is no driver problem existent. Drivers are a consumer grade discussion..

I don't get it. You still have to sync the state one way or another, network latency is still there.
Aldipower · 18 days ago
Me neither. Considered we are talking about collaborative network applications, you are loosing the single-source-of-thruth (the server database) with the local first approach. And it just adds so much more complexity. Also, as your app grows, you probably end up to implement the business logic twice. On the server and locally. I really do not get it.

Does that mean people with a minor vocabulary probably speak faster?

This is totally doable! It can be done with static sites + rss (and optionally email).

For example, I do this with my website. I receive comments via email (with the sender’s addresses hashed). Each page/comment-list/comment has its own rss feed that people can “subscribe” to. This allows you to get notified when someone responds to a comment you left, or comments on a page. But all notifications are opt-in and require no login because your rss reader is fetching the updates.

Since I’m the moderator of my site, I subscribe to the “all-comments” feed and get notified upon every submission. I then go review the comment and then the site rebuilds. There’s no logins or sign ups. Commenting is just pushing and notifications just pulling.

example https://spenc.es/updates/posts/4513EBDF/

I plan on open sourcing the commenting aspect of this (it’s called https://r3ply.com) so this doesn’t have to be reinvented for each website, but comments are just one part of the whole system:

The web is the platform. RSS provides notifications (pull). Emailing provides a way to post (push) - and moderate - content. Links are for sharing and are always static (never change or break).

The one missing thing is like a “pending comments” cache, for when you occasionally get HN like traffic and need comments to be temporarily displayed immediately. I’m building this now but it’s really optional and would be the only thing in this system that even requires JS or SSR.

Your comment system is fantastic. Looking for something like this literally for decades. Hope you will open source it soon. I would like to use it with my blog.
Aldipower commented on Modern Debian-based Window Maker distribution   wmlive.sourceforge.net/... · Posted by u/Aldipower

Window Maker looks alien to me as a Unix user. CDE is good, but I like TWM which is the default window manager in Slackware (if you want someting more Windows-like, you can switch to MWM).
Aldipower · a month ago
NextStep, where WindowMaker derivated, is also a Unix-like OS. For me it perfectly fits to Unix. But yeah, this a a matter of taste of course. :-)

I wonder how well WindowMaker integrates with modern applications, I've always wanted to give it a try but was worried about this. Does anyone use it as their daily driver?
Aldipower · a month ago
Yes, I use it daily and heavily in a professional audio studio. It runs perfectly with Reaper and Bitwig (both DAWs), both in window or fullscreen mode. The great thing is also the quick switching between the multiple virtual desktops to the signal routing and level applications, like hdspemix and so on. It is such a distract free environment.
