If you suddenly needed £5000 cash could you get it? (let's say within 24 hours).

Yes easily:27
Yes with some difficulty:20
Maybe but I doubt it:8
No definitely not:13

    Banks are weird about cash actually. So even if you have it in the bank it might take more than 24 hours these days! But let's assume the bank isn't an arse about it

      @AlienJay they are weird about how much you can take at once, ostensibly because of scams but I think it's also about money laundering, tax fraud etc etc etc. I don't even know if banks have vaults anymore

        @Tattooed_Mummy Wow. So my money is regularly on my bank account. Nothing hidden. And they asking me questions because I wanna have my own money? That’s crazy.
        Here in Germany they ask you questions in case you want to pay in on your bank account in cash and it’s over 10000€. This is because of money laundry and it’s understandable.
        But I can just walk in, get out 10000€ from my account and walk out of the bank without being questioned about my own money.

          @AlienJay yes they do that here when you pay in large amounts too. I had a quick Google and different banks have different rules, my own bank lets you withdraw any money you want assuming they have it in the bank. But some banks have limits.

                                            I'm currently working on a new project: a personalized local that first looks at your (with auto-tagging feature via a small embedded ML model, that does not work 100% well with real cases (works pretty well with my test content, tough :p)) and then tries to fetch results from other search engines, à la seeks/searx/searxng.

                                            This is based on an idea/software by @technomancy@hey.hagelb.org: https://search.technomancy.us/. Follow the links at the bottom of the page for nice articles detailing his motivations and reasoning,

                                            There's still lots of work but i'm pretty proud of my UI (i'm still quite a noob with CSS, so when i do something a bit coherent i'm happy) and tag searching works honestly great for now. I'll need to see in the future what happens when the bookmark collection grows.

                                            I'm happy!

                                                        Abbaye 0.8.0 is now out!

                                                        Abbaye is a Static Site Generator () for your releases, for those of us who can't or won't use a full-featured software forge.

                                                        Big release!

                                                        Some refactoring to make the code easier to maintain, some small bugfixes (mainly introduced by the new features :p).

                                                        But the star features of this release are:

                                                        • Artifact categories and naming: artifacts are now categorized and named consistently, making it easier to understand what each artifact is for, if you choose to do so. It is done via the new [[builder]] category, name and comment keys in the configuration file.
                                                        • Add multi-format support. It's still in the early stages but it's functional and supports HTML or Gemtext (for all my folks out there).
                                                        • Add support for non-interactive terminals, as in the case of a CI/CD pipeline. You'll still see progress via some log messages and not be stuck on a black screen without any information! (note: this requires the use of abbaye --verbose)
                                                        On the more technical side, we now build and packages. Grab them while they're hot. You can also use abbaye self-update to get the latest version.

                                                        Here's Abbaye's 0.8.0 page, as built with Abbaye itself: https://vit.am/~ololduck/abbaye/0.8.0/

                                                          Abbaye is a Static Site Generator () for your releases, for those of us who can't or won't use a full-featured software forge.

                                                          This release simply fixes some minor issues and introduces branch/tag inclusion/exclusion when building the browsable repository as well as the https-cloneable one.

                                                          I had some work-in-progress branches on another project and wanted to publish a release for a small fix, and i saw that my work branches were still there, so… there you have it.

                                                          This release also includes an package but shhhhh! it's not 100% ready yet :D

                                                          Anyway, enjoy this release with abbaye self-update!

                                                          Here's Abbaye's 0.7.1 page, as built with Abbaye itself: https://vit.am/~ololduck/abbaye/0.7.1/

                                                          For the next release, i plan to add artifact categories so we can present artifacts in a more structured way. If you look at the "downloads" section, you'll see it's starting to be a bit crowded and unclear what does what.

Pas que les chambres d'écho n'existent pas, mais parce que ça idéalise le monde d'avant, vu comme un paradis citoyen où tout le monde partageait les mêmes références. Il y avait autant d'isolement dans les chambres d'écho avant, mais les intellectuels qui réduisaient le monde à leur bulle ne le voyaient pas. Les réseaux sociaux rendent ce problème explicite.

Neither one of them is very enjoyable in 80x25, but on a larger (in particular, wider) terminal they are very usable. I use ediff routinely for this. This is easier from vc or magic (Emacs git modes), but can be done with readily-available scripts from outside Emacs. Git has direct support for vimdiff as a merge tool.

                                                                                                      I sense that you're looking for a standalone tool equivalent to meld or similar; I don't know of one of those.

                                                                                                                          @b0rk I'm sure you've gotten a ton of answers, and this has probably been said, but the answer to complex merges is not to have them.

                                                                                                                          I know that sounds arrogant, but as a rough metaphor, I firmly believe that merge difficult is at least quadratic in the size of the diff, so it's far less work to do smaller merges more frequently, and to be clear, I don't mean just merging the main branch into your branch, but making sure your ongoing changes, to the extent possible, are also in the main branch. You don't have to be *done* with those changes, but if they aren't visible to others, you'll inevitably get more and more and more complicated conflicts.

                                                                                                                          What does frequently mean: well, two weeks is *way* too long, a few days is pretty good and although I never personally worked in a true continuous integration model, I am pretty sure that merges should become mostly a non-issue.

                                                                                                                          Regarding specific tooling, my experience is dated, but as an emacs user I agree the magit is simply the best tool I worked with for manipulating diffs. In particular, the ability the *split* individual diff hunks into smaller pieces, and then apply those incrementally really helps pick away at the "edges" of the change that area easier, leaving you with less in the way of the harder choices and often making them clearer.

                                                                                                                          Again emacs specific, but `diff-mode` supports this sort of diff editing as well, without having to buy into all of magit.

                                                                                                                                              Abbaye is a Static Site Generator (SSG) for your software releases, for those of us who can't or won't use a full-featured software forge.

                                                                                                                                              Phew, this version has been in the works for a while, and I'm glad to finally release it.

                                                                                                                                              The big highlight of this release is a brand new repository browser that allows you to look at the code of what you would (maybe) download. That's something that was missing compared to most other software release browsers.

                                                                                                                                              You can now browse:

                                                                                                                                              Note: The code browser is only generated for branch "tips" (i.e. the latest commit on the branch) and for tags (i.e. the latest commit on the tag).

                                                                                                                                              All of this still as html files without any javascript.

                                                                                                                                              And with the addition of the updater in the last release, all of this is a simple abbaye self-update away!

Pour ma part, c'est beaucoup moins sophistiqué que toi 😅 j'ai un template sur mon nextcloud, que je remplis au fur et à mesure de mes découvertes. Ça commence d'ailleurs souvent le lundi matin avec le Khrys'presso de Framasoft. Après, mes prises de notes sont rarement à chaud, mais si je m'interromps pour me souvenir, je note juste le truc et une phrase genre "podcast N : sympa et rigolo" et plus tard je reviens dessus pour en dire un peu plus. 1/2

I've been really tempted by , but 's easy install & general simplicity made me take the plunge.

The docs are nice, it seems quite feature-complete, but there's a big red "THIS IS IN BETA!!!!" warning that made me worry a bit about breaking changes.

                                                                                                                                                              Anyway. Having multiple light(er) Fediverse software is not really an issue, as long as they speak the same language behind the scenes.
