The UI seems very usable. I wonder how the performance stacks up against something like gogs. One of the main things I don't like is the email focus. I think one of the best things the modern git websites have done is replace email with merge requests which are just so much easier to use, tag, and search. I get that this is a tool made for those old devs who still want to do everything from mutt though.

The nice thing about email is that you're free to render and interact with it in any way you like. Yes, you could use mutt; or you could use Webmail if you prefer; or you could run them through some automation scripts; or through some custom CLI/GUI/mobile app/Web service/etc.

Mercurial support, fuck yeah: https://hg.sr.ht/ This is the killer feature for me. Why Mercurial? Here’s a list of Mercurial features that I think are really cool: Revsets – a domain-specific language for querying your commits Templates – a domain-specific language for altering the output of almost every command. Putting together these two you can do things like this: http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/customising-…

Also works properly out of the box for ad-hoc sharing.

I literally never managed to get `git daemon` to work to share stuff between two machines or with colleagues, I've no idea what is wrong and it doesn't provide any human-readable let alone actionable information, all I know is that even from the same machine the git client can't connect to the git daemon. That's it.

GitHub, GitLab, Gitea. Those all work fine. As long as you can easily tell the difference between them.

Agreed. Taco Bell, Del Taco, Taco Cabana, Taco Bueno, Del Taco, Fuzzy's Tacos... and it keeps going.

Pizza Hut...

It's also dying [1]. Git's the only version control system that's got legs [2]. [1] https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0... [2] https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0...

Isn't Facebook investing heavily? I'm more interested in 'good' than popular, when it comes to virtually all personal tech decisions and am inspired by this thread to try out Mercurial, especially as I want to move everything to a sourcehut/sr.ht instance.

So does Mozilla.

My wife still misses Taco Tico, and every time I call some other restaurant that, she's incredibly disappointed.

So yeah, there's more to branding than a single word of the name.

Definitely glad that he changed it. I was concerned about that holding his growth back when he did the Show on Lobsters. Also, some people can't access sites with weird domains due to corporate firewalls. A .org might prevent that. Looking back at the thread, it looks like the new name was suggested back then by neuromanc: https://lobste.rs/s/cqangw/sr_ht_hacker_s_forge_now_open_for... I like how the proposed name fi…

I imagined someone asked if "sr.ht" was pronounced "sourcehut" and he said "uhhh... Yea!" Funny to see it came from reddit, thanks.

lobste.rs ≠ redd.it

As the owner of e.ht, welcome to the world of obscure short TLD’s!

Interested how you pulled that one off, since .ht domains are supposedly constrained by the DNA to have at least 3 characters (3 - 63 chars).

Sr.ht only has 2 before the .ht. So even that violates that rule.

Fixed, should be deployed momentarily. Thanks!

On your /tutorials/set-up-account-and-git.md you really should not encourage default ssh-keygen. Please update with either `ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100` or `ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -o -a 100` or

I think your case is better made to openssl than to me.

Most registrars won’t let you search under three chars. Reach out directly to the ccTLD managing group and see what they have available a-z-0-9. With enough persistence you may find one.
