Pleased to see this pissed HN off. How you know you're onto something.

mastadon needs either throttling of notification bleeps, or it needs to use them to play 8-bit chiptunes. Just saying.

the single most important criteria when replacing Github
https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/the_single_most_important_criteria_when_replacing_Github/

Consider all the data that's used to provide the value-added features on top of git. Issue tracking, wikis, notes in commits, lists of forks, pull requests, access controls, hooks, other configuration, etc.

Is that data stored in a git repository?

#github

course, the features you get access to by meeting those criteria are also not free software due to the Open Core, so..

"Open source projects: any project that uses a standard open source license and is non-commercial. It should not have paid support or paid contributors."

-- gitlab demonstrates ... something ... about their understanding of free software.

After someone stole money out of my Wells Fargo account, it fell below the minimum balance.

So, Well Fargo charged it a service fee. Two months in a row. After the fradulent transactions had already been reversed.

The second service fee was because the first service fee caused the account to fall below minumum balance again. Third service fee expected..

Obviously, I'm closing the account, it was only open in a failed attempt to get my Liberapay income transferred.

Given #Github's success at embracing and extending git, and Microsoft's well-documented E&E aspirations, I wonder to what extent this is a talent aquisition?

So, it's now possible to create a legitimate git repository that Github will refuse to let be pushed to it. The repository is completely safe as long as users are keeping current with security fixes.

This seems to have some interesting applications on the "no I don't accept the Github TOS" front.

pondering putting a 1-wire temp sensor in my cold brew tea. I may have too many 1-wire temp sensors available.

I think it's safe to say I have a smart ffridge now, just look at the thing:

controller[2228]: OverallStatus: [Sunny,InverterStatus (SetTo (PowerSetting True)),FridgeStatus NotKnown,FridgeThoughts "Motor is too warm, not starting! Otherwise, would be: banking cold on a sunny day (battery is not full yet, but should be soon) (+1.69C from freezing): Nothing"]

Wells Fargo bank can only accept transfers of USD to their SWIFT.

To transfer Euro to them, it has to go via an intermediary bank (Deutschebank), with the beneficiary bank and their SWIFT, and my account name and account number all included in the transfer instructions.

I also tried Transferwise; to send Euros to my account there, the transfer has to include a reference number that they provide.

No way to do any of that with the #Liberapay form, so my EUR is stuck currently.

My fridge control software now includes "Banana.split". It must be perfect now.

Yes @joeyh it would be. Christ.

Update on this, I tried the withdrawal to Wells Fargo's SWIFT; it was rejected with "please contact our Finance Team", which sounds like a Wells Fargo kind of thing to say, so I think that @Liberapay's changes are working to some extent.

Still yet to see the money. I'll go talk to the Wells Fargo international transfers division now, ugh.

@liw do you have any advice for machine-parsable error messages?
