Reminded me of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_trinity

The impossible trinity (also known as the impossible trilemma or the Unholy Trinity) is a concept in international economics and international political economy which states that it is impossible to have all three of the following at the same time:

    - a fixed foreign exchange rate
    - free capital movement (absence of capital controls)
    - an independent monetary policy

What really grates at people’s nerves?

Uncertainty. Not knowing when you will end up testing positive and be whisked off by one of the commissar’s white costumed goon squads in the middle of the night. If you don’t agree, that’s when they typically come, like the NKVD secret police back in the Soviet Union. And not knowing what will happen to your children, your elderly parents and your pets if / when that day comes.

hongsy··on Commits are snapshots not diffs (2020)
i convinced myself that commits are snapshots by doing the following:

    # generate a 100M text file
    base64 -b 76 /dev/urandom | head  -c 100000000 > file.txt
    git add . && git commit -m "1"
    
    # remove first line and add a new line to bottom
    tail -n +2 file.txt > tmp && rm file.txt && mv tmp file.txt && base64 -b 76 /dev/urandom | head -n 1 >> file.txt
    git add . && git commit -m "2"
    
    # repeat
    tail -n +2 file.txt > tmp && rm file.txt && mv tmp file.txt && base64 -b 76 /dev/urandom | head -n 1 >> file.txt
    git add . && git commit -m "3"
    ...

    du -sh . # a very big folder
each of the commits are almost 80M big in the git folder. if you run `du -h .` you can see how git stores each object individually (80M big)

If commits are snapshots:

- say i have a repo with one file, a big 100MB csv with millions of lines.

- i change one line in the CSV for one commit.

- repeat multiple times in many many commits.

- how big will the repo be?

hongsy··on Sci-Hub Is Now on the ‘Uncensorable Web’
Did you use the HNS.to gateway or connect directly via NextDNS? Per the announcement tweet [1] the gateway has limited uptime guarantees — it's much better to connect directly and only takes a few minutes to set up. [1] https://twitter.com/NamebaseHQ/status/1348707701744922625?s=...

I guess you haven't seen the full investigation released last week. I'd strongly recommend you check it out, it shows how much investigation they did before Navalny took action.
