    I’ll come out with an anti-recommendation: Don’t do GitLab.

    They used to be quite good, but lately (as in the past two years or so) they’ve been putting things behind a licensing paywall.

    Now if your company wants to pay for GitLab, then maybe consider it? But I’d probably look at some of the other options people have mentioned in this thread.


  • I’m luckily enough to work on a small team like the one you described, and yeah - our trello board isn’t fully fleshed out. We can put vague descriptions of what needs to be done and the team gets it done.

    I think SMART goals are one of those rare times where an HR course writer unintentionally hit on something that some people need to hear. There’s a junior engineer on my team whose goal was just, “I want to get better at infosec” - not measurable, time boxed, etc. by trying to at least hit one or two of the guidelines, they were able to flesh out this goal into things like “I want to attend a major security conference this year” and “I will study for, and achieve my Security+ cert”.

    It worked for them - and helped them clarify their broad nebulous goal into smaller specific and achievable goals - but obviously like all business/hr things SMART goals aren’t for everyone.











  • I agree, but it’s a hard pill to swallow that Meta is the best partner to grow the fediverse. There are real lessons to learn from Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (look at XMPP and Google), not to mention privacy concerns and content moderation issues that seem to be a “feature” for Meta products vs bugs.

    I’m not sure what Zuck is up to, but for whatever it’s worth I think the best think the fediverse can do is be somewhat reactive to Meta’s movements.

    If instances start getting overwhelmed with content, then block.

    If Meta starts showing signs of EEE, then instances can block.

    And us users can move to instances that we feel match our personal stances on things - hate Facebook like the plague? Look at one of the defederated/blocking instances. Do you miss interacting with a larger audience? Stay on instances that are embracing (or withholding judgment) the Meta federation.

    It’s a complex topic to be sure, and the only way we’ll know the right way to deal with it is with the benefit of hindsight in a few years

    I didn’t intend to use it on the chest freezer - it was mostly for the modem, but since I had spare battery capacity and outlets I thought what the heck.

    The power load is practically nothing until it cycles, and even then it’s fairly efficient - my current runtime is estimated to be about 18 hours, more than enough to come up with an alternative if we lose power in a storm.
