@PresGas That's actually largely what I talk about in the episode. Fossil is more different, I guess, than I'd have expected. Fun to learn, but you have to be in the mood for a change.

@cobra2 @brandon Well I try to provide useful info to fellow open source nerds, so it'd be silly to put it out there but never mention it...

@alfred After the coffee break in this week's episode, I muse a little about the difference between Fossil and Git.

In this week's Gnu World Order, I review Lutris, the open gaming platform, and I talk about learning new tech by comparing Fossil and Git.

@thaj Yeah, I reject the pay to play thing. I mean, I respect that that's their business model and that it funds the machinations of their game production, but it's not for me. I like that I can benefit from the trickle-down of a well-designed game, though.

More Conan the Barbarian lore! Learn about Aquilonia, the ancient kingdom between the wild Bossonian Marches and the kingdom of Nemedia. Will Aquilonia hold fast against the Pictish hoard, or will its own internal political strife tear it apart first?

Find out on this week's Chronicles & Commons.

@alfred That's a big question, and I'm heavily biased to Git because it's the first versioning system I learned. I've been enjoying fossil. Not sure yet how I'll be using it in the future.

@archer72 I'm a fan of ogg, mkv, webm. I have no problems with any of those. Depends on purpose, I guess.

My custom ffmpeg build mostly just brings in all the codecs, except for a few highly experimental ones. Other than that, there aren't any mysterious optimizations or anything like that. I just like to be able to ingest and output *anything*.

@brandon @cobra2 I actually like your method. I know really big projects have a real need for a structured https://semver.org/ system, but for a lot of stuff, the date plus a build number seems simple and logical.

@brandon
Check out this episode, it may shed some light on part of this:

@brandon
I'm not sure how you mean. Commit hashes, once created, can't really be altered. You eBook build would be its own hash, and you'd probably want to tag it.

@brandon
Use a git hook. inotifywait is a good generic solution but it sounds like you have a specific workflow in mind.

This week on GNU World Order, my thoughts on Jeff Bigler's blog post from 22 years ago about why nerds and "normal" folk sometimes clash when communicating.

RPG and OGL lore. This week on Chronicles & Commons, meet Fenris Kul, the neutral evil god of destruction and trickery and, basically, nihilism.

@dracoMetallium
Cool! Thanks for the tip. I hadn't seen the confirmation.

@cobra2 Oh yeah, weird.

@cobra2 Yes, same for me. But it's a pretty specific search, no?

@cobra2 What's the context for this suggestion?

Have you ever made a shar? Now you can!

Quota, rpm2tgz, sdparm, sed, shadow, and shar.
