It will run faster if your local machine is faster than the cloud, but otherwise it's the same. I don't think I tried starting CI from my machine, per se, I would instead point codeberg to my machine, push to codeberg, and codeberg would send the job to my local runner. You probably can do it entirely locally.

The main benefit for me was that I can run CUDA workflows without needing to pay extra for GPUs. I've not really thought about what happens if you want to deploy to an architecture you don't own. I can't recall what architectures they provide.

Note this is with woodpecker CI. I think they're migrating to a new CI at some point.

I had a pleasant experience moving my project from github to codeberg. CI is nicer in codeberg because of local runners; easy to migrate too

Hence "vague memory". I don't know.

In the language Gulf of Mexico,

you can use any letters from the word "function" (as long as they're in order)

union foo () => ()

My vague memory is that Signal doesn't keep that information, so it couldn't be subpeona'd, indeed they've been asked for it before and declined to share.

BUT IT'S MOOT IF YOUR MESSAGES ARE VIEWED by sender or receiver ON ANDROID, WINDOWS OR IOS. Those operating systems can just view everything you type regardless.

curious, thanks for the heads up, time to use my yubikey. I can't imagine anyone would bother tracking my phone with its niche proprietary OS. 2FA hacking, however ...

Arch Linux limitations? (programming.dev)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by staircase@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev
 

I'm curious about trying Arch Linux, but I want to know what's difficult or impossible with it first, as that's usually what stops me sticking with a distro.

I'm particularly interested in software/driver support. For example, NVIDIA doesn't mention Arch in its CUDA download page.

UPDATE: OK it sounds like Arch is for bleeding edge. That sounds fun, but I like things simple and reliable, so I'll still with Ubuntu. I might run Arch on my secondary drive, or toy with it in Docker.

 

My computer is slow at compiling, esp. LLVM. If I were to buy a new computer, what components would I focus on to improve this?

 

Title really, but some comments ...

I'm likely to move to Codeberg, and I like the idea of a CI system that I can run locally, without tie-in to a particular code hosting vendor. But why this over e.g. Jenkins, or whatever other systems there are these days? I'm new to Woodpecker.
