I'm still fascinated that "calibrated" glasses are not more common. In Germany, you won't get any beer without any markings where the volume is indicated.

Banned in the EU since 20 years, in Germany more than 30 years. Strange that this is so different in the US

Jenkins was called Hudson already a long time after being a prototype. We used it productively already.

The data is integrated into the Internet archive and available e.g. via the way back machine. Not sure if you can get the whole reddit dataset.

What about cruise control? I used that CI in 2009 maybe earlier. Jenkins was a milestone, fair point but not the first CI

Restic uses smart Delta backups, creating a tar before the restic process would defeat the purpose. The permission issue is the same, as I need to have access to the Files either way.

That's why it's also a big accessibility feature. With big font sizes, four spaces are distracting but you can configure tabs to show up as one character, which is way more reasonable with font sizes larger than usual

This might be a good idea. It would only work for files that allow read access for the group, but that should be fine
