'Too much git cleaning'

🦴 Version control is great, but sometimes it can trip you up! In this post I recount my rather stupid mistake of using when I shouldn't have, and how I got out of it. ---

@zkamvar ooooh! That's a whole other level! Good on you for.keeping your wits about you. I'm not sure I would have 😅 My brain left the building, and without @maelle I'd likely have lost much more. 🫠

@lars @nicole I just bought some lovely decaf beans and grind them for my morning coffee. I need to keep away from stimulants a while, but I've been missing my coffee. These are such a great roast and so yummy. I'm so happy to get a good cup of Joe in the morning without a racing heart.

Copyright folks: I scraped (tbh downloaded the pages) of an official government website, where each page represents publicly available information (due to transparency laws). However, the site has been shut down for some financial reason. This is a public record that is now gone.

My question is:
What is the copyright law on html? Because the contents being presented is public domain, so it’s only the html (I didn’t fetch the css or js). Can I republish all these pages to make the info available again? I’d make some new CSS and possibly tweak the html, but is there copyright on page layout? If so, I need to figure out who has those rights, I’m hoping it’s the government agency (and not the private contractor), but tbh I don’t know how they rig their contracts.

@pygy @Patricia id second this. if you can with little effort tur content into md, then it would be fairly easy to get some pages rendering it. But, that might as well be just as much work as changing the html, which you weren't too keen on doing. 🤷

what would you call a git commit that can no longer be reached from any branch or reference (for example because you ran git commit --amend or git rebase), but that you can still get to from git reflog?

I've considered "orphan", "dangling", and "unreachable" but none of these seem right:

  • orphan has another meaning in git
  • dangling only refers to the "tip" commits
  • "unreachable" means that you can't reach it at all

would love a term that's already used, I don't like inventing terms

what's your favourite way to simplify your life with git? mostly interested in slightly unusual tricks to reduce the number of git features you're using, like:

  • never using the stash, just creating temporary branches instead
  • deleting your main branch so that you can never accidentally commit to it

@Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

@b0rk I don't know if it's just normal git works but I've become more and more reliant on checkout to also just remove work I want to abandon. I used to only use it to create and start new branches, but find it such a nice cleanup tool

I'm glad to see some personal growth in myself.

I just got the first funding proposal I was principal on rejected by CZI EOSS, and I'm fine. I get it. My project was smallish, and that there are larger more impactful projects to fund makes sense.

Am I sad? Sure, it would have been awesome to get funding to take the project to the next level. But all in good time.

Drmowinckels,
@Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

I got to sit down and reflect around my project, what I wanted it to develop into and how to do that. And I got to get excited about it.

I will continue to pursue funding, and work on it when time and work allows.

@maelle you sure have a long term perspective on your codebase 😅

Drmowinckels,
@Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

@maelle ah no, I was thinking more in terms of how many generations from now (of humans) you expect to still be looking into your codebase.

I'm not sure mine will even outlive me 😅🤪

Just learned a man 3 years my junior, we used to be closer in our Uni days, died because of a ruptured aorta while on a walk with a friend.

That is way too young 💔

@Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

@yabellini @chiasm i feel like were too young to have friends die of such things spontaneously. I know thats maybe strange to think, but if it was an accident or something it would make more 'sense' somehow.

    we live in a world of e-waste and related refuse, from batteries to electronics to fluorescent lights, and yet no where, afaict, has incorporated e-waste pickup into their waste management processes, nor are there widespread e-waste dropoff points

    Drmowinckels,
    @Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

    @beka_valentine In Norway, any place that sells electronics are obligated to also receive the same category electronics in return for proper disposal. Meaning, even a grocer who sells batteries has to be able to do it. And the local waste stations will accept electronics (batteries, lightbulbs etc included) without charge. All toxic waste can be disposed at waste stations for free, while other waste is subject to fees.

    Drmowinckels,
    @Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

    @beka_valentine then I am entirely missing the point too, I'm afraid. Care to help me understand?

    Drmowinckels,
    @Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

    @beka_valentine thank you for taking the time to write and explain. I understand better what you are after now. Our household does not produce so much that we've need curb-side pickup. They'd pick up maybe once a year? But that could be a good option. I find taking batteries and small electronics with me when I go shopping to be an easy enough solution.

    Drmowinckels,
    @Drmowinckels@fosstodon.org avatar

    @beka_valentine and for larger things (dishwasher etc) I'd usually also pay the extra 10 dollars (equivalent) needed for the delivery guys to take the defect product I'm replacing with them for disposal.
