Thank you so much! That would be awesome. I can only offer you an invite for Tildes in return.

How did you get an invite? I’d love to join but the waiting list seems really long right now.

I really like the simplicity of this workflow by StreakyCobra on HN (explained as a blog post here):

I use:

git init --bare $HOME/.myconf
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.myconf/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config status.showUntrackedFiles no

where my ~/.myconf directory is a git bare repository. Then any file within the home folder can be versioned with normal commands like:

config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .config/redshift.conf
config commit -m "Add redshift config"
config push
And so one…

No extra tooling, no symlinks, files are tracked on a version control system, you can use different branches for different computers, you can replicate you configuration easily on new installation.

Thank you! I’m a bit hesitant to log in through another site but I’ll try hosting it on my server.

Godspeed! And may the the bbq sauce life raft carry you safely across these treacherous waters.

Man that was some solid engagement!

I fully agree. And it feels great to do something you believe in without expecting to recognized for it. I just tried to give an alternative to comment awards that would limit the visual noise.

You said there are NO trackers and I see 146 tracking attempts. It doesn’t matter how much data they collect, what you said is not right. Even the dev said that trackers are disabled when you get the ad free version which implies that trackers do exist otherwise. I have no horse in this race but it’s hard to have a discussion when people use such definitive and inaccurate statements.
