Exactly! This is a complaint of a problem that doesn't (in my opinion) exist!

What do you mean by that?
Git normally assumes that everybody has their own clone (or more than one), but there is a
core.sharedRepositoryoption in case you need to set up one checkout to be modified under multiple user accounts.And Github definitely allows allowing multiple user accounts to manipulate a repository. What else do you want?

See, and I thought my solution of setting up an Outlook rule to wait for messages with a .torrent file or magnet: uri in them, which would trigger a batch script to start a SSH shell to launch a python script to talk to the deluge API to add the torrent was complicated.
Actually sounds like a nice hack, as long as you do authentication.

@Tsaukpaetra said in WTF Bites:
Sure, sure. But, how often is this a problem that it needs to be solved, really? If you're constantly "discovering" things to download while at work... Well, I'll not continue that train of thought.
Is it possible that it didn't cross your mind that perhaps my colleagues at work might recommend something to watch during a watercooler chat, coffee break or over lunch?
And you're so immediately enamoured that watching MUST. NOT. WAIT? Whatever floats your boat.
Personally, I write it down. Get home. Start download. Wait a few days hoping there's still seeders, then abandon it. I guess you have more better luck than I, but I've never been in such dire straights to watch something that I needed instant gratification like that.
And can't be solved by remoting into a home machine.
Of course, but allowing remote access to whole machine vs web UI of a single program? Also, you can access web UI from a phone and remoting to PC, although it can be done from the phone, is rather awkward.
You're talking to someone who spent a few days coding off their phone at native 1080 resolution on a five inch screen. I'll admit I have no sympathy or pity. Perhaps that's a character flaw, but you are the one putting roadblocks in your way.

Not what I meant. I mean, I'm trying to commit as x-user but whoops, I forgot to change my identity and so I committed as y-user. Didn't notice until I pushed and now I have an even bigger problem because rewriting commits is spaghetti.
And since git doesn't support different identities without trickery, GitHub Desktop also falls in line, so now I need to remember to log out and back in to the other account or risk having to dance again because natch, committed under the wrong identity!
How is this not hostile?

Please turn your "but why would you need X" mode off
why? in this case it's a legit question. why would you want to potentially expose your workplace to liability for piracy, because even the perceived liability from looking at your torrent box to see "ooh! Batman_Superman_Hot_Loving_times_XXX.avi has finished downloading! time to cue up Joker_gives_Batman_it_straight_up_the_Ass_XXX.avi!" would be enough to seriously jeopardize your employment....
your Jeff impersonation isn't that funny...

Are you using two different identities in the same git repository? Because that would be a bit odd...
However, if you want to then you can configure the identity used when committing for each git clone on your disk separately. I use this to keep the sources of some of my hobby projects close by on my work's laptop, but the username and email address is configured differently from the one I use as the global "default" on that machine. It's just a matter of running these commands for each working copy on your disk where you want non-default credentials:
$ git config --local user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --local user.email johndoe@example.comIf you want two identities in the same repo then you might be out of luck with this technique - far better to have two working copies then with their own
.gitfolder and respective config file.If on the other hand this WTF bite was about pushing to Github as a certain user then you might need different tricks. If the repo is public and pushing happens over HTTPS then you could try putting your username in the github repository URL. If you're using SSH then things become even muddier: Github's SSH setup is special because it uses a single username
gitand recognizes you by your RSA key. This needs more workarounds then to make SSH use the right one for each repository...

Yeah, that's pain, I know.
@Tsaukpaetra said in WTF Bites:
And since git doesn't support different identities without trickery
Trickery? You can set identity per repository, per directory and override it per shell. Repository options always take precedence over global ones and all options can be set at either level, so that's not a trickery. And for per-directory there is a special
[includeIf "gitdir:prefix/"]section in global config, which is a bit advanced, but it is documented.And you can override either from shell by setting the environment variables (
GIT_{AUTHOR,COMMITTER}_{NAME,EMAIL}).@Tsaukpaetra said in WTF Bites:
so now I need to remember to log out and back in to the other account or risk having to dance again because natch, committed under the wrong identity!
How is this not hostile?I've never ever once relied on git getting the identity from the standard login environment, actually. That one is always wrong.
But you are right, trying to guess is hostile. It should just ask. Some time ago I even had the git repository set up to check that the email has a domain with at least one dot and the name is at least two words to prevent the incorrect guesses (
username <username@hostname>, basically) from getting through.

From the Order of the Stick frontpage:
By now, those of you who frequent our forums will have noticed that they've been shut down for a few days. You may have also noticed the weeks (months?) of persistent slowdowns and time-outs that preceded this, in which case you were paying more attention than I was; I had been deliberately avoiding the site while I took my hiatus to focus on plotting the upcoming story arc and failed to notice the problem until this past week. Sorry about that. At any rate, I talked a little bit about what's going on in my Twitter feed, but I thought I should reiterate and expand upon that here.
I asked my technical guru (you may know him as Rawhide from his forum name) to take a look at what was causing the problem. He turned off the forum and ran some diagnostics, then came back to tell me that it was definitely the forum causing the problem (rather than the comic). The database of all the posts built up over the years had simply gotten too large for the server on which the site is currently hosted to process quickly. But worse than that, if he turned the forum back on, it would immediately grind the entire website to a halt—making it impossible to access the comic, or even to turn the forum back off again. The only viable solution would be to move the forum to a hosting situation with more memory, an endeavor that would be neither quick nor free.
So that's what we're doing. The forums will be shut down for a bit while we work behind the scenes to move them to a big shiny new server. The comic (as well as this News page) mostly won't be affected during this transition, and the new OOTS comic scheduled to arrive this upcoming Monday should post as planned. I also would like to reassure everyone that no content from the forums has been lost, and the forum isn't going away, either. If you were playing a play-by-post game or posting your creative work to the forum, it will all still be there after the move. The only open questions are how long the process will take and how much it will cost. We should have more information on how we plan to address at least one of those topics on Monday.

My main hard disk got completely filled up. So I find some big compressible files (a VM that is almost never used), I right click, advanced attributes, compress files. Great, this will free a tiny bit of space. Except it fails. There's not enough space to compress the files in order to save space. Of course.
I delete some other files to make some buffer space. I go back to the VM files, right click, compress... wait, the box is already checked? The files got marked as compressed without actually getting compressed (I know they didn't get compressed because that takes a long time).
Only solution I can think of: I'll "decompress" them, and re-compress them, this time for real. I uncheck the box and click apply...
And then I got a progress dialog that said "Applying file operations, 35 minutes remaining". WTF was Windows even doing there? Was it compressing the files so it could decompress them?
After 5 minutes I clicked "cancel". It finished almost instantly (which doesn't happen when it's doing an uninterruptible operation) and now the files are marked as uncompressed as they should.

for me not to need/have/use remote access based on his own way of doing things, and in his last post he even went as far as to call me impatient if not outright desperate in a roundabout way for wanting to continue having a convenience which I already had before with the old NAS.It is obvious you suffer from reading comprehension then. But that's fine, you're demonstrated such in the past so it's not surprising.

In July 2019, Workplace announced new account plans and, in October, announced that there were three million paid users. CERN was then given a choice of either paying to continue with the initially free set-up or downgrading to a free version that would remove administrative rights and CERN single sign-on access and send all data to Facebook. Losing control of our data was unacceptable, as was paying for a tool that was not part of our core offering for the CERN community; therefore, we will end the trial of this platform.
Good!
To replace key Workplace functionalities, a suite of alternative solutions are available to the CERN community. Mattermost instant messaging and real-time communications can already be used to replace Workplace private or public groups. Discourse can also help exchange information that can be referenced in the future, and is already used by many, including the CERN market and the ROOT community, as a questions and answers platform.
...Oh.
