The interesting selling point about this, if the claims are substantial, is that nobody will be able to produce secure software without access to one of these models. Good for them $$$ ^^

New comment by tex0 in "Fossil versus Git"

tex0 — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 13:00:01 +0000

Fossil has some really nice ideas (although I don't like the feature bloat), but when I tried to use it I ran into so many issues and/or bugs. With git on the other hand I can't remember ever hitting a bug in decades.

I don't really like git that much, but it works pretty well most of the time.

This is a cool tool, I like the idea. But the way `uc machine init` works under the hood is really scary. Lot's of `curl | bash` run as root.

While I would love to test this tool, this is not something I would run on any machine :/

Same here. Pretty amazing. Almost every game in my (large) Steam libarary runs out of the box. Performance is on par with Windows. This finally allowed me to ditch Windows.

And no, I don't bother with crap that needs a kernel level anti-cheat. Simply not for me.

If you don't like Go, then just let go. I hope nobody forces you to use it.

Some critique is definitely valid, but some of it just sounds like they didn't take the time to grasp the language. It's trade offs all the way. For example there is a lot I like about Rust, but still no my favorite language.

I think all of those are using git and many Gerrit as well.

Maybe they need perforce support instead :P

Gerrit can do some of that.

That depends on your VCS. Some systems don't even allow you to "clone" anything. And yes, some of them enforce all kinds of ACLs.

That is pretty much what I'm doing with Steam, Proton and my Game Library. 99% the time it works just great.

Probably zero. And strike the non-SWE part. gpg isn't really easy to use.

Maybe git is just too complicated for average users (myself included).

The new GitHub CS is pretty great indeed. Still not on par with it's role model, but getting closer.

Thank you for reposting. I don't want to start bashing XZ, but I honestly wonder why it's been picked up so much despite the valid criticism.

As if the compression rate increase at medium levels were so significant over bzip2 or grip.

Yes, it comes pretty close. Well done!

Is the source code of the service behind proxy.golang.org actually open-source?

KeePass(X), Password Store/Gopass, pwSafe, ...

Plenty of good choices.

Why did people think that using a cloud based password manager (or for that matter: a closed source one) was ever a good idea?

Same here. In fact I've built a very similar tool because sed/awk/grep/find didn't quite cut it and it did help a me lot to get sh* done.
