In case anybody is interested, having a bare git repo on a server is as easy as:

    # locally
    ssh git@example.com
    
    # server
    mkdir repo.git  
    cd repo.git  
    git --bare init
    
    # locally
    git remote add origin ssh://git@example.com/home/git/repo.git  
    git push origin master

P.S. I know it does not have the same features as github

If it's your ssh server and it's single user you don't need to use the "git@" part at all.

Just store the repo and access it with your account.

The whole git@ thing is because most "forge" software is built around a single dedicated user doing everything, rather than taking advantage of the OS users, permissions and acl system.

For a single user it's pointless. For anyone who knows how to setup filesystem permissions it's not necessary.

I prefer to be explicit about which user is connecting to ssh.

There isn't much advantage that can be taken from O/S users and perms anyway, at least as far as git is concerned. When using a shared-filesystem repository over SSH (or NFS etc.), the actually usable access levels are: full, including the abilities to rewrite history, forge commits from other users, and corrupt/erase the repo; read-only; and none.

Git was build to be decentralized with everyone having its own copy. If it's an organization someone trusted will hold the key to the canonical version. If you need to discuss and review patches, you use a communication medium (email, forums, IRC, shared folder,...)

Git was built to be decentralized but it ended up basically displacing all other version control systems, including centralized ones. There are still some holdouts on SVN and even CVS, and there are niche professional fields where other systems are preferred due to tighter integration with the rest of their tools and/or better binary file support, but, for most people, Git is now synonymous with version control.

It has all the same working features as github

I wish Lego would find a digital equivalent as universal as the bricks for programming. I think it could be another moat for them. But it seems they keep changing it and it does not seems as simple or as universal as it could be. I am thinking more programming with blocks than using a tablet etc. to program the blocks. IMO it is a wasted opportunity.

I am always surprised even vim chokes on files with one massive line. That could be a useful optimization too.

> Infinite exponential growth is something we ALL "believe" in when we put a dollar into savings and expect to get a dollar and 5c out the next year.

Isnt that linear growth?

No, because you're not expecting to get 5c every year regardless of your investment. In this example, they want 5% of their initial investment. So, $100 becomes $105 the next year, the $105 becomes $110.25 the year after that, and so on. 1.05^years. The fact that economic growth is measured as a percentage implies an exponential.

I had to wonder what the system does when someone says "biweekly works".

6-7 percent interest.

SOFR is only around 3.7%. And it's, you know, an annualized rate. The earliest liberation day tariffs are only around 11 months old at this point.

My source was:

``` The government has collected perhaps $180bn in IEEPA tariffs. Over the past year 1,800 companies—including Goodyear, a tyre-maker, and Costco, a retailer—have filed lawsuits to protect their right to a refund should the Supreme Court overturn them. They are now owed this money, equivalent to roughly 5% of the profits companies generated in America last year, or 0.6% of GDP—plus interest, compounded daily at an annual rate of 6-7%. ```

Interesting! Seems generous.

I think txt2img and img2img are terms to find those uses.

And comfyUI workflows. People have been doing this for awhile now.

And stablediffusion-web-ui before that and others, yes.

When googling, txt2img and img2img, or txt2video img2video etc. (for video) are useful terms, since they encapsulate the usage in a few terms. One could search img2video comfyui workflows, for example.

I thought it would be useful for the conversation to provide these terms, not mentioned before in the thread.

ComfyUI is relatively new, but pretty good at what it does

Setting the temperature to zero does not make the llm fully deterministic, although it is close.

Window cleaners still exist, and drivers, and bakers, etc. You get my point.
