   There is a seam in my fat bike rim. Not sure what it is called officially. My front wheel is holding air fine. The back wheel is not. Is the fact that the air is coming from the seam a sign that the tape job is not correct? #cycling

   This training says ssh is the most-used git protocol. That can't possibly be true, can it? Maybe on a per-server basis and thus gitlab and github only get counted once?

    One of our consultants actually wrote a migration tool (which happens to be open source), but the last commit on it was in something like 2011. You needed old versions of our Perl API and probably Perl. It was a mess. I don't know what ended up happening with that. I think I lost the case over Thanksgiving or Christmas.
    
    Of course, Perl on Windows is just kinda a mess in general.

    VSS may well have issues, but not really my point.
    
    This is my point: The last release of Visual SourceSafe was in 2005. In 2019 this customer thought it would be a good idea to switch.
    
    I guess if it works it works, but good luck if something breaks.

    I would say moving from git to p4 is a pretty well understood. I always say p4 because Perforce actually has p4 and Surround SCM, and some git tooling.
    
    I had thought svn to git was fairly well understood, but it probably depends on what you want the history to look like.
    
    I was working with a customer a few months ago trying to move off of...
    
    
    ...Visual Source Safe.

    marginally relevant to this thread, but we decided in standup today to figure out if there was anything we could do. We've got an #OpenVPN article coming out to help companies struggling with remote work, but it is hard to image the business case for doing something with Folding@Home or BOINC.
    
    I guess I get to play biologist in the meeting. I quite the microbiology lab in 2006, lol.

    The last two years I have worked in version control full time, but have very little exposure to !git.
    
    I am taking some advanced git training right now, and all I can think is 'What kind of control freaks need this'?
    
    oh right, Linus.

    Who is it that needs these rah-rah meeting from the CEO? Sure, let people ask questions. That's great, but I don't have questions. I just want to do my shit.
