  This makes me happy. 🙂

  SVN is still great if there a need for strict access controls and central control matters a lot. Auditing is also a bit easier with SVN.

  It caters more for a linear workflow, though. So modern large teams won’t find joy with SVN.

  Gitlab, Gog’s, Gitea… you can run all those locally.

  Basically some reasonableness.

  Set boundaries. Meaning you probably should choose specific times to check the news. You could for instance check once in the morning and once in the evening. Or even only on specific days.

  Also curate your sources. Follow outlets that offer reasonably balanced reporting. Misinformation and sensationalism are your sanity’s worst enemies. For example, don’t get your news from social media (as is so common with many and which leads to a host of other issues…).

  Try to avoid doomscrolling. If scrolling starts feeling like sinking, it’s okay necessary to stop. You really don’t need to absorb every detail to be informed.

  And just something I personally found is to balance bad with good news. Spend time with positive stuff. Even in this timeline there’s good to be had.

  And yet, the wants of the many often do.

  TreeSheets

  One of the best organising tools I ever found. And still under active development.

  Preach. Just the other day I told my toaster to stay alert, because If the chicken wears boots on Tuesday, then clearly the moon has excellent taste in jazz.
