Shrank
I've spoken English as my native language for almost five decades and I've never seen/heard the word "shranked" before.
This surely cannot be correct. Even the title of the linked article doesn't use "shranked". What?

You must be unlucky, according to Openreach "fibre broadband is already available in more than 96.59 per cent of the UK."
Is that "fibre" or "full fibre". They lied a lot for a good few years saying "OMG fibre broadband!" When in reality is was still copper for the last mile so that "fibre" connection in reality was some ADSL variant and limited to 80/20mpbs. Actual full fibre all the way from your home to the internet is I think still quite a way behind. Even in London (London! The capital city with high density) there are places where…

I don't think GitHub, or any other git host, will have objections to using it once it's part of mainline git? Also, thank you for the TLDR!
> I don't think GitHub, or any other git host, will have objections to using it once it's part of mainline git? Fixing an existing repository requires a full repack, and for a repository as big as Chromium it still takes more than half a day (56000 seconds is 15h30), even if that's an improvement over the previous 3 days it's a lot of compute. From my experience of previous attempts, trying to get Github to run a ful…
Wouldn't a potential workaround be to create a new barebones repository and push the repacked one there? Sure, people will have to change their remote origin but if it solves the problem that might be worth the hassle?

Let's pretend you didn't write the last 2 sentences... first of all "internet in Europe" makes close to zero sense to argue about. The article just uses it as a shortcut to not start listing countries. I live in a country where I have 10Gbps full-duplex and I pay 50$ / month, in "Europe". The issue is that some countries have telecom lobbies which are still milking their copper networks. Then the "competition committ…
What european countries still dont have fiber? //Confused swede with 10G fiber all over the place. Writing from literally the countryside next to nowhere.
I pay 42USD for 250Mbit in a larger Swedish city. What is that magic ISP I should be using?

For now we’re getting by with partial clones, and employee machines being imaged with a decently up to date repository.
Re: We shrunk our Javascript monorepo git size
#117> For many reasons, that's just too big, we have folks in Europe that can't even clone the repo due to it's size. What's up with folks in Europe that they can't clone a big repo, but others can? Also it sounds like they still won't be able to clone, until the change is implemented on the server side? > This meant we were in many occasions just pushing the entire file again and again, which could be 10s of MBs per fil…

They might be in a country with underdeveloped internet infrastructure, e.g. Germany))

Commonly (since ca. 19th century), shrank is used as the past tense of shrink, shrunk as the past particle, and shrunken as an adjective. The title of the linked article uses "shrunk" as past tense and the submitted title was changed to "shrunked" for some reason. "Shranked" was not mentioned anywhere. (But "shrinked" has had some use in the past.)

Germany. Deutsche Telekom is the former monopoly that was half-privatized around 1995 or something. The state still owns quite a large stake of it. They milk their ancient copper crap for everything they can while keeping prices high. They are refusing useful backbone interconnects to monopolize access to their customers (Actually they are not allowed to refuse. They just offer interconnections only in their data cen…
Wait, I live in that area. Does that mean I'm allowed to lay my own fiber into their open ditches too, or do they have special rights no one else has?

Only a few I know are on ftth. I guess I live in a fairly affluent area in Zone 3 which is lower density than average - zero flats etc, all just individual houses so perhaps not worth their effort rolling out
