From CVS to Git, thirty years of source control

I have been using GitHub (https://github.com/steinbring) for a long time, and I have been seeing a lot of people dunking on it lately (e.g., https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github) because of its many failings. I don't think that something like Codeberg (https://codeberg.org) or Bitbucket (https://bitbucket.org) is the answer because there is still a central point of failure and hosting bills to pay. I like the fact that things like ForgeFed (https://forgefed.org) and tangled (https://tangled.org) exist to at least federate comms.
I really don't know what the answer is.

So. Why doesn’t XCode allow me to remote to a self-hosted generic git server? Why is it forcing me to subscribe to something-or-other?

PS. Here’s where to go: @Codeberg

In my first few weeks at my new employer, my code contributions have added 218 lines of code, deleted 2,663. Only one of my PRs has resulted in a net increase in the size of their codebases (by two lines).
I need to pick up the pace if I'm going to reach the ultimate goal of deleting ALL of the code within my lifetime. (That's the ultimate aim, right?)

Note to future self: when you want git to tell you all the files you've modified, but not those you've deleted (e.g. to pipe through xargs and feed to your linter for bulk-linting), the command you're looking for is -
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=M

Any alternative recommendations for free Git hosting? Does Github still work with ICE? Is GitLab any better? Am I asking too much and should just self-host? Is it feasible to stand up a git server at home and expose it to the outside world if I don't have a static ip address? What's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Spent yesterday afternoon fixing an issue with #aquaplane controls, somehow messed up a source control merge, decided to start again ...then realised I hadn't committed my changes for a while so had to do the work on that branch again. #gamedev #indiedev #love2d #sourcecontrol

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look at `jj` (Jujutsu), an interesting distributed version control system that intends to be more user-friendly than Git while having even more advanced features.
Can `jj` be a good replacement for Git in the long term? Let's find out!

Last year, a colleague introduced me to lazygit, a TUI git client with a wealth of value-added features.
Somehow, though, my favourite feature is the animation you see if you nuke the working tree. 😘 Excellent.

Good Morning SARS2PAians!!
I apologize for not typing up a thing for you all on Friday, I got caught up in family stuff. I hope you had a GREAT and SAFE weekend!!
:canparrot:__________
VOCsNationally, JN.1 still at a solid >40% of randomly sequenced samples.: https://ibb.co/s9rZzPq
KP.2 is the next variant to watch and has already had some FAST gains in the past few days.
in PA, both JN.1.16 and KP.2 have already been sequenced here. Control the spread of these potentiall troublesome two mutations by employing SOME form of source control!: https://ibb.co/rtKWn48
in NY/NJ, JN.1 and JN.1.4 at the top as usual but KP.2 already at 1.31% of random sequencing.: https://ibb.co/XDTdCJ8
__________
Lineage NewsWhile other lineages with lab-estimated growth did not seem to contribute to the leaderboard as much as JN.1 continues to do that, its descendant KP.2 is showing extremely fast growth both in lab estimates (with a high confidence level, so this lab data will probably translate more readily into real-world trouble) AND in actual numbers of sequences found.: https://ibb.co/3kyD7Bc
It still has a bonkers high growth advantage rate considering genetics alone and has moved quickly up a couple ranks in actual practice, on the sequencing leaderboard already.
It'll definitely be one to watch.
__________
WastewaterNationally, COVID levels continue to decline in wastewater. This will only get better once these cold snaps are done! We're still at a point where we're very high compared to previous years, though.: https://ibb.co/DY8LNMB
Previous years comparison: https://ibb.co/pw8WLjH
Regionally, all regions are declining in found SARS2 material in wastewater. We are still at the highest concentration in the Northeast compared to everyone else, though.: https://ibb.co/8sj4BpS
In PA, Chester Co. is SMASHING IT and levels are absolutely tanking for now! But Bucks, Luzerne, and Lackawanna's levels are still a bit above naitonal averages. Use source control to improve this data point!: https://ibb.co/s65h3yG
__________
CDCThe New Hospital Admits map is showing significant increases in Juniata Co. curving down to Somerset Co and Bedford Co., and also over in Lawrence Co. The rest of the map is pretty good, with overwhelmingly reductions in hospital admits in most counties!: https://ibb.co/sKnLV5X
Staffed Inpatient Beds are showing significant increases in Juniata, Mifflin, Huntingdon and Elk Cos with the rest of our counties stable or slightly decreasing.: https://ibb.co/Yyj4MRr
Quite a lot of ICU bed use increases. From Greene at the southweasternmost corner, all the way diagonally up to Bradford and Susquehanna Cos, increasing levels all the way. Don't be this statistic, folks. Get those XBB/flu/etc. shots.: https://ibb.co/LYkXcKJ
Sadly there have been 1,064 COVID deaths in PA in the last three months and while this number has gone down a bit since last time I posted this, our state remains in the highest category of the 3 month data cycle.: https://ibb.co/8m5SDBY
__________
Non-SARS2 PathogensWell, if you want to stick around to read this, I'll post this part up last.
While SARS2/COVID continues to steadily decline, the one pathogen that's still at quite a staggeringly high rate is Norovirus, the "24-hour stomach bug".
Levels of this are still EXTREMELY high, and are slow to start going down, as they had around this time last year.: https://ibb.co/Kqny3QJ
PLEASE WASH HANDS with soap and water. Hand sanitizer is not enough. Norovirus is extremely resistant to alcohol and heat sterilization due to a tough "shell" surrounding the virions.
You MUST wah hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds to actively contribute to controlling Norovirus.
Wash fruits and veg before you eat them, even if you don't eat the peel (example: clementines, oranges, and grapefruit.)
Don't serve or prepare food if you are sick!
This thing is just gross. 🤢 Make sure everything's clean before you sit down to eat!
Using source control will make numbers for ALL pathogens go downward so we have a healthy (and not gross) Spring! 💐💐💐

Good Afternoon SARS2PAians!!
I hope your stuff stayed in place with all that wind out there!
There's no new wastewater data today.
Lineage News
JN.1.x.y continues to dominate the national leaderboard.
There are a few variants to watch for future activity, including KQ.1, KP.2, KP.1.1 and KR.1, all grandchildren of JN.1.: https://ibb.co/j800SF3
JN.1.16 is also proving pretty darn fast. Pennsylvania already has had samples of JN.1.16 submitted.: https://ibb.co/qdDB3qF
Some of them have already gotten "above the fold" nationally. KP.2 and KP.1.1 are already in the top half of variants. JN.1.11.1 is still around at sizeable levels.: https://ibb.co/zSnSp9N
XDP is a recombination of JN.1.4 and FL.15 (descendant of XBB.1.9.1).
__________
CDCIn spite of lower infection numbers, there seems to have been a lot of emergency cases filtering through the medical system since last update.
New Hospital Admits substantially increased in Central PA from Lycoming Co. aaaaall the way over to Venango Co., and also from York on the southern border to Fulton Co.: https://ibb.co/FqJQtfS

Non-SARS2 stuffSARS2 has actually been downgraded on WastewaterSCAN to "medium" spread!: https://ibb.co/Cz4PQmk
NonSARS2 pathogens are still just demolishing us.
Most respiratory stuff is still high except COVID/SARS2. RSV, FluA, FluB, are all HIGH still. Parainfluenza is now HIGH.
The gastro stuff, Norovirus and Rotavirus, is still crazy HIGH. Noro is still rising in Chester Co.
:ms_arrow_right: Noro is very resistant to heat and hand sanitizer! You MUST wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds to reduce your chances of spreading noro! :catjam:
That's all I have for this week, PA. Keep close watch of that air quality and wash hands so we can have an AWESOME and healthy Spring! 💐💐💐

I hope your stuff stayed in place with all that wind out there!
There's no new wastewater data today.

JN.1.x.y continues to dominate the national leaderboard.
There are a few variants to watch for future activity, including KQ.1, KP.2, KP.1.1 and KR.1, all grandchildren of JN.1.: https://ibb.co/j800SF3
JN.1.16 is also proving pretty darn fast. Pennsylvania already has had samples of JN.1.16 submitted.: https://ibb.co/qdDB3qF
Some of them have already gotten "above the fold" nationally. KP.2 and KP.1.1 are already in the top half of variants. JN.1.11.1 is still around at sizeable levels.: https://ibb.co/zSnSp9N
XDP is a recombination of JN.1.4 and FL.15 (descendant of XBB.1.9.1).

Update for 3/8/2024!
Good Morning SARS2PAiains!!
I hope you're ready for that time change on Sunday! 🕐🕐🕐
This is a wonderfully short update. I mean, it doesn't look short, but it kinda is. 🤪
There's no new CDC stuff.
There are no new wastewater updates and we are continuing to approach lower levels of previous years as spring gets closer.: https://ibb.co/QfPr8NJ
__________
Lineage NewsThere's no new immediate variant news as JN.1 is still the only thing all over the place so far.
There are some new varaints being watched as JN.1 (and specifically JN.1.11) seems really capable of producing descendants that worry virologists:
❗️JN.1.16: Concerningly infectious even over very wide areas in China; Lots of this currently being uploaded from what I gather in USA too, already in 9 states.
❗KP.1.1 (which is JN.1.11.1.1.1): this has a potential nuts-level of growth rate going by genetics alone.
❗KP.2 (which is JN.1.11.1.2): seems closely related to JN.1.16 that I was, in my very very unprofessional opinion, concerned about last update.
❗KP.2.1: widespread already in East Asia.
KP.x.y has an extraordinary growth rate only considering mutations but we'll see how any of this checks out in actual biological results.
__________
NON SARS PATHOGENSThere is still a very high amount of total pathogens all around.: https://ibb.co/3sxWQ3C
Respiratory pathogens are still high according to WastewaterSCAN:
❗SARS2
❗RSV
❗Flu A
❗Flu B
❗Parainfluenza, which has been upgraded to HIGH since last update.
Gastro stuff is still very high too!:
❗Norovirus
❗Rotavirus
Noro is thankfully declining at UPark but still in the very high range.: https://ibb.co/CMSGsjg
If we keep using common sense ways to control it, it prevents DAYS of learning/financial loss and potential hospital visits for dehydration. And...it's just gross to deal with. 🤢
Fpr respiratory illnesses, wear a quality respirator, be aware of social contacts, mask/respirator up in crowds and in low ventilation areas (low ceilings, restrooms, elevators, etc.), keep the air clean, get those COVID and flu shots, and STAY HOME if you are sick!
For the gastro stuff, don't prepare food when sick. Don't depend on gloves for sanitizing either! Wash fruits and veg before you eat them.
Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
❗Hand sanitizer and heat does not work well against Norovirus because the individual virions are very very tough to kill. You MUST wash hands with soap and water.
For all pathogens, cover coughs and sneezes in the elbow crease and not your hands.
We're almost there! :canparrot:
It's Goose flyover season! :cangoose:
We're gonna have a great Spring, and simple, common sense consideration and source control is how we get there! 💐💐💐

Update for 3/4/2024!
Good Morning SARS2PAians! ☀️
I'm sure everyone excited to be leaping forward next week!
So far, there are no new variants that have proven to catch up to JN.1 yet. Yes, potentially troublesome variants like JN.1.11.1 etc. is still being closely watched.
This is another short update as there's not much new SARS2 stuff out there. (Good.)
__________
WastewaterNational wastewater continues to decline in SARS2 material (with the exception of the Midwest)!: https://ibb.co/Mn0VzgD
We are approaching the lower levels of SARS2 transmission of previous years.: https://ibb.co/vzz8rwC
That's all. This is Very Good.
__________
CDCThe new hospital admits map has greatly improved. Most counties are showing stable or lowering levels, but levels are still HIGH in Lancaster, Lawrence, Tioga, Lackawanna, and Wayne Cos.: https://ibb.co/JsnYNFz
Staffed Inpatient Bed use is stable or lowering in all counties except Berks, Lackawanna, and Wayne Cos.: https://ibb.co/mbB5RQf
ICU beds are stable or lowering in all counties except around Wayne Co, Forest Co and west of there, and in Lancaster Co. Levels have increased significantly in Berks and Pike.: https://ibb.co/h8730Kr
Sadly we are still experiencing over 300 COVID deaths a month. There have been 1,118 COVID deaths in the past 3 months.: https://ibb.co/HChgb85
__________
ResearchHome test kits are STILL on the whole holding up rather well against newest variants.: https://ibb.co/1fX3n3n
(Be sure to test more than once during your illness just for safety's sake tho.)
This graphic of an ideal home test kit with all major highly transmittable pathogens on it SHOULD be what we're working toward in home testing: https://ibb.co/hFqnwzP
and something like it is already available in Europe.: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/rapid-tests-covid-rsv-flu-are-available-europe-stopping-us-rcna64470
Vaccines PROTECT significantly against heart issues and Long COVID.: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/new-large-study-indicates-vaccines-protective-against-long-covid
If you think vaccines cause the vast majority of heart issues, there's reeeeeeally bad news concerning what the actual pathogen will do to you. Please get those vaccinations!
Men and women on average experience Long COVID differently: https://ibb.co/1fX3n3n
...probably due to hormone regulation.: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.29.24303568v1
__________
Non-SARS2 PathogensWe're drowning in non-SARS2 pathogens.
On WastewaterSCAN, all the following respiratory pathogens are considered at HIGH levels: https://ibb.co/1rfZkTz
SARS2
RSV
Flu A
Flu B
Parainfluenza (HPIV) is considered at MEDIUM levels, up from LOW.
Also, gastro pathogens like Norovirus are increasing daily.: https://ibb.co/pxJGmTV
Rotavirus, which is currently hitting the Harrisburg area hard.: https://ibb.co/qDX7Xrj
For the respiratory pathogens, WEAR A QUALITY RESPIRATOR if you are around crowds. Be aware of social contacts. Keep the air clean.
For the gastro stuff, WASH HANDS, wash fruits and veg you eat, and do not prepare food when feeling unwell.
If we all do some smart, common-sense source control, we can have all these pathogens wrangled intime for 💐SPRING!💐
Have a great week, PA!

Non-SARS2 PathogensWe're drowning in non-SARS2 pathogens.
On WastewaterSCAN, all the following respiratory pathogens are considered at HIGH levels: https://ibb.co/1rfZkTz
SARS2
RSV
Flu A
Flu B
Parainfluenza (HPIV) is considered at MEDIUM levels, up from LOW.
Also, gastro pathogens like Norovirus are increasing daily.: https://ibb.co/pxJGmTV
Rotavirus, which is currently hitting the Harrisburg area hard.: https://ibb.co/qDX7Xrj
For the respiratory pathogens, WEAR A QUALITY RESPIRATOR if you are around crowds. Be aware of social contacts. Keep the air clean.
For the gastro stuff, WASH HANDS, wash fruits and veg you eat, and do not prepare food when feeling unwell.
If we all do some smart, common-sense source control, we can have all these pathogens wrangled intime for 💐SPRING!💐
Have a great week, PA!

Update for 3/4/2024!
Good Morning SARS2PAians! ☀️
I'm sure everyone excited to be leaping forward next week!
So far, there are no new variants that have proven to catch up to JN.1 yet. Yes, potentially troublesome variants like JN.1.11.1 etc. is still being closely watched.
This is another short update as there's not much new SARS2 stuff out there. (Good.)

Update for 3/1/2024!
Good Morning SARS2PAians! ❄️
Welcome to March, after Leap Day 🐇🐏🐸!
There's no new CDC stuff today.
__________
VOCsNothing currently new with VOCs, JN.1 all over the place nationally: https://ibb.co/GncBGTR
and in PA of course.: https://ibb.co/yS1wq0c
Scientists are still watching JN.1.11, and even though it's sort of fizzled out itself, its children are now moving progressively faster as it develops.
Faster than its parent, JN.1.11.1 is moving along and is being found in most new sampling.
Along with it, JN.1.11.1.1, which is shortened to KP.1, has great potential to make a dent in its grandparent's leaderboard status.
I'm also seeing a LOT of JN.1.16 both here in Canada by the latest sequencing experts. I'm just going to make a mental note of JN.1.16 because it and also JN.1.11.1 are both moving sorta quickly through Canada and are also found in the NY/NJ area.: https://ibb.co/R3Tmstt
None of these are "major eathshaking variants" but to have something faster NOW will bump numbers back up for Spring and we DO NOT want that!
Nothing all that significant in PA yet. No JN.1.16, JN.1.11, JN.1.11.1, or KP.1.
__________
WastewaterNationally, SARS2 material found in wastewater is DROPPING again!: https://ibb.co/3RM4DDk
This is great. We are starting to approach the lower levels of previous years.: https://ibb.co/pbHnDDJ
Regionally, all regions are down except for the Midwest which is bumping upwards.: https://ibb.co/MhJmxX4
In PA, all 5 sheds that report to Biobot are droping significantly!!: https://ibb.co/tPhVHWJ
And so are the Harrisburg and UPark areas which report to WastewaterSCAN. This is great for still having winter weather. We're handling it. We're doing something right!: https://ibb.co/5cWQDHh
The State PA Wastewater Dashboard now has many sheds, especially in the East, in the blue, SARS concentration lessening.: https://ibb.co/Wx2Pf2J
__________
Non-SARS2 WastewaterOK, now for the not-so-great wastewater news: we're getting smashed by non-SARS pathogens like FluA, FluB, and Norovirus (which is the "24-hr stomach bug").
Numbers of FluA and FluB are rising significantly in all sheds that report to WastewaterSCAN.
FluA: https://ibb.co/Xkn6xYL
FluB: https://ibb.co/84wfBH9Especially in UPark with FluB, yikes. Please wear a quality respirator to control this. Not doing so means more learning loss!
UPark is getting hit hard with Norovirus, which is already at HIGH levels and is going vertical there.: https://ibb.co/svpJB1t
C'mon, UPark, get a hold of this so your Spring won't be a mess! 💐
:ms_arrow_right: WASH hands, WASH food you eat and don't prepare food if you are sick to prevent the spread of Noro. It's just gross. Don't spread it!
It's still going to take a bit of work but if we do, we'll be more prepared for a healthier Spring.
And that in both scenarios: if we have a relatively calm COVID Spring with no new crazyfast variant (less likely), and also we won't be fighting pathogens on many different fronts if we DO have a crazyfast variant (more likely).
Stay healthy and have a great March! ❄️💐❄️
