Working at the Mind Chess Café is an interesting job.

Nextcloud does not provide hosting, only 3rd level support. So any commercial hosting of Nextcloud will be done by other companies. There are many companies to choose from.

Personally, I would only choose companies that are listed as a partner because then I can see what level of support they buy from Nextcloud.

Do you have a reference for that number?

It's hard to get numbers on what countries pay to Microsoft. The Dutch parliament has repeatedly asked and has not gotten numbers even though there is a whole agency since 2014 (https://www.digitaleoverheid.nl/overzicht-van-alle-onderwerp...) specifically for giving Microsoft preferential treatment in procurement.

You can use your own Woodpecker instance with Codeberg. I do this at work and privately and it works great and is much faster than the free CI that Codeberg can afford.

There is no place called 'Udem' in Germany. There is a place called Uden in the Netherlands. Close to it is the military Volkel Air Base. It has fighter jets and nuclear bombs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkel_Air_Base

That's a great suggestion for .rgignore and ~/.rgignore.

No, amazingly (to me) on the repo in question, `git grep` is twice as fast as `ripgrep -w.` or the custom `rgg` function.

All are less than 100ms, so fast enough.

The point is to search hidden files that are tracked by git. An example is CI scripts which are stored in places like .woodpecker, .forgejo, .gitlab-ci-yml.

A checkout of my repository [0] with many pdf and audio files (20GB) is slow with -u. These data files are normally ignored because 1) they are in .gitignore and 2) they are binary.

The repository contains CI files in .woodpecker. These are scripts that I'd normally expect to be searching in. Until a week ago I used -uu to do so, but that made rg take over 4 seconds for a search. Using -. brings the search time down to 24ms.

    git ls-files -z | time xargs -0 rg -w e23
    40ms

    rg -w. e23
    24ms

    rgg -w e23
    16ms

    rg -wuu e23
    2754ms

To reproduce this with the given repository, fill it with 20GB of binary files.

The -. flag makes this point moot though.

After writing this comment, I read the man page again and found the -. flag which can be used instead of -uu.

Searching in hidden files tracked by git would be great but the overhead of querying git to list all tracked files is probably significant even in Rust.

This week I wrote a small bash function that run ripgrep only on the files that are tracked by git:

    rgg() {
        readarray -d '' -t FILES < <(git ls-files -z)
        rg "${@}" "${FILES[@]}"
    }

It speeds up a lot on directories with many binary files and committed dot files. To search the dot files, -uu is needed, but that also tells ripgrep to search the binary files.

On repositories with hundreds of files, the git ls-files overhead a bit large.
