• Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines

  I agree, but I think that model of GPG is not how it's used any more. I think nowadays people upload a one-shot CI key, which is used to sign builds. So you're basically saying "The usual machine built this". Which is good information, don't get me wrong, but it's much less secure than "John was logged into his laptop and entered the password for the key that signed this" So, you're right, that GPG verifies... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  You can use https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/, but that's no official Mozilla repository. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  As a user of the PPA packages (https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa), now I'm confused. Are these the same packages? Should I switch? I'd have appreciated at least a mention in the article. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Firefox Developer Edition and Beta: Try Out Mozilla's .deb Package

  There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap. It's not hard, certainly easier than installing Debian which is probably still what I should have done. I think I used this guide: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04 Though what that doesn't tell you is that the snap... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Fedora Workstation 39

  Https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa A quick google will find plenty of sites telling you how to adjust the package versioning priorities to keep the MozillaTeam version of FF preferred over the crappy snap one. I still use Ubuntu desktop as my daily driver and server OS, and we have zero snaps installed on any of our systems. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• I don't know why so many devs avoid a GUI for Git

  Sadly TortoiseGit[1] is only available for Windows :( git-cola[2] is a decent stand-in for TG's commit review window though. [1]: https://tortoisegit.org/ [2]: https://git-cola.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Suggestions for portfolio projects.

• GIT GUI tool or command line?

  Instead on my PC I use TortoiseGit. Most useful for the git log (as a graph), diff with previous versions,, filter files to commit by directory and ability to exclude files from the current commit, and most of all; ease of splitting a commit for each single file into parts by ability to "restore after commit" which allows you to edit a file before the commit and have it automatically restored to the pre-commit...

• TexStudio - git integration for easy committing?

  If running TeXStudio in Windows, my personal preference is to keep the automatic check-in disabled and to use the manual one (File -> SVN/git -> Check in); this allows an individual commit message with the briefer abstract line, empty line, and the longer report. Perhaps it is less exhaustive then a proper git client (in Windows e.g., tortoise), yet TeXStudio' GUI and integrated version control allows to resolve... Source: about 1 year ago

• Git-SIM: Visually simulate Git operations in your own repos with a single termi

  > We now have a large selection of tools that allow you to visualize what's going on (I use git-kraken), as well as google for help on doing something that isn't in muscle memory. Git Kraken is excellent, though Git has a page on various GUIs, many of which are free with no restrictions: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis Personally, on Windows I like SourceTree: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ Some that have... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
