How is blockchain related to this?

Didn't you get the memo? If you stamp enough buzzwords on everything, it magically works, regardless of their relevance to the application.

First, my HDMI port blows up and have to work on a small laptop screen. And now I can't access my repositories.. Not happy.

Yikes. What happened to the HDMI port, out of curiosity?

And I presume macOS? If Linux, X11 can do some interesting hacks with scaling and panning. (`xrandr --output ____ --scale` and `xrandr --output ____ --panning`)

Great. I need to push some stuff real soon now. In the last 12 months Bitbucket had an uncomfortably high number of issues. But whenever I think about moving our company code to GitLab or GitHub I envision going into a world of pain with my eng. team. Has anyone got some advice for pain-free migration to GitLab or GitHub?

We moved over to GitLab a couple of weeks ago. We're small, so the calculus is a lot different for us. The migration basically consisted of clicking the import button and making sure everybody's remotes were changed over. We switched because we got tired of Atlassian trying to sell us all of their services all the time. The systems that make a big organization run more smoothly are a drag on a small team, and the more we saw of Atlassian's offerings the less we wanted them.

I can't access bitbucket.org, so... Edit: / works, repos don't

What does work is git clone https://username@bitbucket.org/organization/repo.git so you can probably still get by. Just the website is down.

All the various CI systems and scripts with hard-coded SSH-based git access will be hard to change to use HTTPS for just a few hours.

When you have to painstakingly earn the right to downvote, you just can't feel bad about using it once in a while.

Hi, I've always been curious what the quota/threshold is. My last account (i336_) got to 1000+ (before I accidentally locked it...) and I never saw the downvote button. Is it like 10,000 or something?

I think I got it around 500~. There could be a manual component to it?

Your user page shows you how much karma you need to hit the next level. In your case, you need 172 to downvote comments. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=exikyut

It's 500 last time I heard, but you don't get a downvote button on every comment.

And there is no downvote button on posts (or if it is, I haven't reached that threshold yet.)

How is blockchain related to this?

Blockchains allow for a distributed, mutable permissioned system that are required(?) for features like "Who is allowed to push to this named repository?".

You can also leave stuff like that out, but then you will end up with a system where everyone can only push to their own forks leaving us with a very splintered distributed system. To compensate we would need a much better system for distributed content discovery than anything I've seen so far.
