I guess linux has more docummentation

“More documentation” is a double-edged sword. Under the BSDs, the documentation is shorter, but better; and much of it is also much less complicated, so you don’t even have to look at it all the time.

is performace on bsd better than linux?

It depends.

Depending on what games you play, I warmly recommend “a BSD”, like FreeBSD, which supports both Linux (in the kernel) and Windows (via Wine) emulation.

You can’t deny love!

It sure does, and I am mentally prepared to move over to Hugo. I just haven’t had the inner calmness needed to do so just yet, and I probably won’t in the near future. At least I could still use WordTsar for it!

There is an impressive array of reasons to dislike Automattic and their software. My introduction was meant to avoid a lengthy discussion about those, because it would exceed the scope of my post. Alas, I failed.

If you prefer Rust, yaydl (disclosure: I wrote it) would be an alternative to yt-dlp. (Patches welcome - right now, I much depend on Invidious to get YouTube contents.)

+1 for Beets - awesome software!

That’s mostly because using inferior software causes stress and stress is unhealthy.

Maybe there were days when all Usenet servers had all hierarchies. I’m probably too young.

In a way, Lemmy is essentially a reimplementation of Usenet. Decentralized, federated forums.

Usenet was never really “federated”. All servers mirror slightly different hierarchies (with the free ones usually focusing on text and the commercial ones focusing on binary files).

What server do you use?

I’ve been a happy user of Eternal September (the name alone was awesome enough!) for quite some time now.

I still use it as forums. That’s what it can do best.

I wish Usenet wasn‘t misunderstood as a file sharing network anymore.

Depends on the task. SVN or Fossil (if you need a web interface) for cathedral-style, Mercurial for bazaar-style, I’d say. Especially because of their easy to understand UX.

1. Git is for bazaar-style development. However, most of my own projects are cathedral-style.
2. Git’s default user experience (CLI command syntax, for example) is weird. There are reasons why Git GUIs are popular and (e.g.) SVN GUIs never were.
3. Git is rather spammy in terms of hard disk usage.

There are better backends though.

Both suck

I am one of those weirdos who prefer the best tool for a job, not the most popular one. And Git is - for me and my projects with exactly one branch (“trunk”) and three or four other contributors, with me being the BDFL - the worst choice.

It sure is! Glad I’m not alone. :-)

Makes sense.

Which VCS capabilities make Git stand out in comparison to all other DVCSs if you don’t need a web UI?
