> Physical media doesn't work when modern games are 100GB or more. This is a totally fair point and literally something I haven't even considered. > most consumers don't care I kno…

I guess my point is.. if they were really to wait for X months and then start to release physical media (again, I can't see the financial incentive for them to do it), but it would…

Some backstory - I like gaming quite a bit - but more of a personal archivalist. I have basically all games I've ever played on physical media and try to keep someway to play them …

Honestly, this is just awesome. I've spent quite a long time looking at artifact storage, both for work and for personal use and this project literally scratches that itch. So feat…

I agree this doens't seem too ambiguous - it's "you may do this.." and they said "or we may do the reverse". If I say you're could prefix something.. the alternative isn't that you…

It's interesting seeing parts of life overlap. I did music production at the same time as heavily using SVN and starting to use Git - I didn't cross this over at the time. All (in …

I originally wrote the speach in my blog repo, just for writing purposes. My dad's funeral was yesterday and wondered, maybe, someone might appreciate it - either because they've l…

Sure, you're right in most cases. In the use-case I had, it's a private registry with "immutable" tags (at least enough to stop accidental overwrites - and it is a homelab, so if s…

Absolutely, needs-and-musts, it's certainly not a nice thing.. but again, Terraform isn't a scripting language, so sometimes bits of hack are needed!

Good point - I hadn't actually looked massively hard into solving it with this provider - I had to do it again for another use-case recently and decided to blog about it (and also …

I would say yes and no (leaning on the no)... I think saying you don't have a right is fine... they are providing a service and dictating it's usage and you are using it. So on the…

I see what you mean.. but if you take a look at vista vs 7.. Microsoft shoved glass panels, widgets and such down the user's throat in Vista. It was a new look and they wanted to m…

I can see that they're adding their own license, which contains their license for the code within the repo. But nothing around licenses for packages that they're installing within …
