God people are cautious these days. 15yrs ago in soviet russia we used plain cat5 for 30+ meter links between 20 storey buildings. Sun, rain, snow, wind, birds, whatever - it worked for years.
The worst problem were some nylon clamps which attached utp to the metal string broke over time. But I bet it could live fine even without being attached to the string:)

What's with z-fighting on plants?
@fdroidorg
It says it tracks and reports my activity. Wasn't it possible to disable this functionality before adding it to the repository?
SourceForge is making the most fun of migration from #GitHub. The stuff most important to them is listed right in their site header: "Cloud Storage", "Business VoIP"... Then a nice set of social media buttons: twitter, facebook, google, linkedin. And right below that, a "Migrate from GitHub to SourceForge" banner, welcoming people who run from "proprietary" GitHub.
Not getting any new issues or pull requests on GH for more than a day depresses me.

@Aethero
the part about software is not true at all, see https://repology.org/ - #FreeBSD and #Debian are generally on par.
@ragazzonoioso
TIL there are graphs of projects migrating from #GitHub to #GitLab:

I myself am still boycotting any source code hosting facility apart from the most popular one. We'll see if that one changes over time.
I find all the floating cookie-"agree to me" messages annoying.
What's good:
They mostly don't ever pop up if you use the tor browser and disable javascript.
I hope the #gdpr will kill such messages. I believe most of them are not#gdpr compliant anyway, because they usually lack a "no, thanks, I want to surf your site without you collecting any personal data about me" button.
And no one can tell me that it is impossible to display a web page without collecting personal data.
@brainblasted
A pity because it's detached hosting with no functionality and no userbase, which makes it harder for users and contributors to interact with the project, and no clean takedown policy, which lessens trust to it. And it was probably down for noticeable time so I've considered it dead.
@brainblasted I thought notabug was dead. What a pity.
#FreeBSD 11.1 is prone to sendfile related panics, even under moderate load. Had to disable sendfile for nginx and uwsgi for the host serving repology.org after 3 panics in 2 weeks.
Thankfully, it's fixed in 11.2.
@dvl
Is it expected to provide any noticeable change in single process workload?
Interested in PostgreSQL on FreeBSD? Try this OS patch which gives a substantial improvement in number of operations per second. Let us know how that works out for you. https://reviews.freebsd.org/D15430
@brnrd comments on the way I convey my point of view are as unnecessary
@brnrd
You must be kidding. I'm missing a sane maintainership approach where patches are applied before everything is broken by the update.
@brnrd
I'm after working setup with up to date protocol support primarily
I thought that #FreeBSD 12.0 is comming next year. Nice surprise: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/schedule.html
@brnrd I'm no longer sure if using it was really smart. With 2.7 some ports fail to build (at least security/py-cryptography@py36), and I expect TLS 1.3 to be available in openssl much sooner.
@bcallah
Every 2-3 hours currently. Ports tree INDEX which Repology uses is also generated with delay, and these sum up.
