Introduction - Steve's Tutorial on Jujutsu, an alternative front-end to git

Jujutsu is essentially an alternative front-end or "porcelain" to git, both magnificiently simplified and powerful.

I tried it after using Emacs Magit for about six or seven years, and jujutsu is really easier to use than git and useful if one wants a tidy public history of changes (with "tidy" and "public" as Linus Torvalds recommends). Plus it is fully compatible to git as backend - other contributors will not even note you are using it.

Another useful property is that while jujutsu does have worktrees, like git, in many cases where one would use git worktrees (for example when writing accompanying documentation ) it is just easier to use another line of changes (what is a branch in git).

Alas, that jujutsu does not store local change sets automatically on a remote git repo (this happens only when you update and push a git branch), means that still-mutable local changes are not automatically transferred to another computer you work on. And unpublished changes are naturally mutable in jujutsu. But you can safely copy a jj repo via rsync, as changes in jj metadata are thread-safe and atomic. The other way is of course to push a work-in-progress ("WIP") git branch which can mutate and is therefore not allowed to be merged by other people.

That’s not really how one would use worktrees in git. Worktrees are useful in the case when e.g. you are working on version 0.15 of your software that has many breaking changes to version 0.14 (perhaps even on a build system level) and you need to release a 0.14.1 patch. Worktrees separate directories which means you don’t need to stash or do a wip commit, nor clear you 0.15 build artefacts. Just cd to a different worktree, checkout the 0.14 branch, create and checkout the 0.14.1 branch, clear build artifacts in a different directory from your main development one, and start working.

When done, just cd back and keep working again without switching branches, clearing artifacts, or doing full rebuilds of the in-development 0.15 version.

Plus, git does not store change sets or branches or anything on any remote unless you push them either, so if you’re having that problem just stop pushing things you don’t want to push. You can totally rsync a git repo, just ensure it’s at rest. Otherwise do what you should be doing anyway: set the repo on another machine as a remote of the other repo, so you can git pull my_private_machine feature/my_private_branch without needing to push to a central repo.

I’m sure jujutsu has many advantages, but it also reads to me like you’re misunderstanding the git model. Which can be a fair critique of git to be fair, but then we would need to talk about what about the git model people have trouble with, why, and how to address those issues, and so far I haven’t seen any kind of research in that direction from jujutsu (not that I’ve been looking particularly hard)

One difference between using worktrees and branches in git is that in git you usually have uncommited stuff that's not finished, and worktrees are a way to avoid committing this. And you want to avoid committing early because it is hard to clean-up later. This hesistsnce to commit is not necessary at all in jujutsu - any change to the source files is already captured and will be restored once you go back to that changeset. There are other cases where you use worktrees in git e.g. to isolate a build and an hour-long integration test running it in parallel to your ongoing work, and in thar cases, you'd use workspaces in jujutsu like you'd in git.

but then we would need to talk about what about the git model people have trouble with, why

Too many commands that do subtly and irreversivly things on the repo, with potentially messed-up interim states, only to do the conceptually much simpler task to edit and manipulate the directed acyclic graph of commits.

In short, jujutsu is a commit graph editor and does the same with perhaps 10% of the complexity of git. The man pages on the git reset, branch and merge commands are already larger than the whole - and detailed!- documentation of jujutsu.

Steve Klabnik explains this much better than I can here in his blog that I posted.

in reply to HaraldvonBlauzahn • 2 mesi fa • •

It is simply not my experience that cleaning up commits after committing early is difficult in git. Amending a commit is a single -a flag away from the git commit command. The opposite problem is when you do too much work and want to split it into multiple commit rather than a huge one, in which case git add -p is again a single flag away from git add.

In general, git’s entire model is to allow you to work first, and do administrative tasks (including tidying up your commit history etc) later.

And almost nothing is truly destructive in git, the vast majority of cases can be fixed by judicious use of git reflog.

The only cases I’ve ran into where git repos became corrupted were caused by external tools, mainly GUIs that label buttons with git commands that do something different when clicked (like the button labeled push actually doing git push —all for no good reason, and such things) with users that have no idea how git works that have been trained just by telling them “click this to save your work, click this to get the last version of the code”

I have to admit that in spite of having used git for about 20 years, I never used reflog. And even with magit I did stuff like rebase rarely. I found it costing too much time to read the man pages again every time and meditate what would happen with "reset xyz".

Fair, git’s documentation can definitely be too terse despite being very extensive and could really benefit from examples and common use cases sections. I only use a fraction of what git offers, but what I do use I use often, which definitely contributes to my happiness with git: I seldomly need to look things up

in reply to ugo

in reply to ugo • 2 mesi fa • •

Now, jujutsu covers almost the same with < 10% of that complexity and less than 10% of the documentation - simpler but the same power.

Technically true - but it looks like jj does a lot of history re-writing which would require a lot of care to be taken when working on a shared codebase.

The page on remotes has some cautions in it.

We need the --allow-backwards flag to set the trunk branch to the previous commit because it is a dangerous operation: if we had pushed trunk, things would get weird when we try and push now. We've kept it all local, so there's no issues with doing this.

jj by default refuses to change any commits on published branches such as a master branch that has been pushed. The details are configurable.

BTW that's why I linked Linus Torvalds mail on when and why to rewrite history - it is good advice.

Hrm... It looks interesting but it seems too dedicated to crafting "the perfect commit".

Changing our description changed the commit ID! This is why we have both IDs: the change ID has not changed, but the commit ID has. This allows us to evolve our commit over time, but still have a stable way to refer to all versions of it.

I don't want to "evolve a commit" - I want to capture my changes over time. If I decide later that I want to prepare the commit for merging I will.

I hate it because it's different - but even trying to give it a "benefit of the doubt" I really can't see this as better. It's not like it's difficult to create a "tidy" commit with git as is.

And as far as "easier to use goes"... well... Here's how you get a list of anonymous branches

jj log -r 'heads(all())'

And since they eschew branches with names you get to memorize hash strings instead of branch names that describe the thing you were doing?

jj new pzoqtwuv yykpmnuq -m "merge better documentation"
# vs. 
git merge my_branch_Name

I'm unconvinced. Though jj undo looks neat (and also crazy dangerous unless you can undo an undo?).

No trouble, you can still name branches if you want. And no, you don't have to type the whole changeset hash, the first one to three letters are usually sufficient.

Also, branch names are not a permanent thing, they disappear after you merged them.

If you want, to can put an empty commit with the description of what you want to do at the top of your changes, and then use "jj split" to move changes to different commits before it.
There are several common work flows which are explained in Klabnik's blog post.

Yeah you can undo undo and also resurrect undone states.

If the readability of the commit history really does not matter to you - for exsmple, nobody needs to read this code again - it's possible that jj does not give you enough advantage. Everyone works different.

I mean... It does and I will use git to manage commit histories as necessary. I don't see jj as solving that problem or even making it easier. Doing a single squash-commit or a rebase -i when I merge a branch is relatively trivial.

And from what I can tell it's much easier to do a git pull upstream master than to do jj new skdfsld dskfjas since you'll likely have to lookup those hashes? I mean I wouldn't remember them.

One takes them from the last commit log and uses the first few letters. Steve Klabnik shows how they are used in practice. It makes no sense to repeat it here.

So - it's not the length of the random garbage that is the issue it's the fact that it's random garbage that I have no chance of remembering after 5 seconds and switching between branches. All my branches are instead random hashes that I'll need to lookup or remember.

I've read through the blog. It sounds like they've taken the minor inconvenience of doing a git merge --squash and distributed that pain across every-single-commit you're ever going to make instead. All to get "tidy commits" which were possible before anyway.

I was actually rather interested in the idea of jj being something that made history-rewriting easier (e.g. for removing bad commits with passwords and the like). But the fact that it almost completely throws out the entire concept of working on named branches (yes you can have them - but "One interesting thing about branches in jj that's different than branches in git is that branches do not automatically move." - genius) is just ridiculous. And to claim that it's now simpler just seems like gaslighting.

Looking for a music player

I'm looking for a music player on Pop!_OS that supports playlists, repeating a single track while still being able to swap tracks in the playlist, and also supports fading between songs and when stopping playback. And ideas on what to try?

So far I've tried VLC, Audacious, and Rhythmbox, but none of those seem to support all of those requirements. (Rhythmbox was close but the repeat one from the toolbar plugin doesn't work.)

Edit: Got it working in Rhythmbox after toggling the repeat options a few more times. Still curious if there are other options out there though.

The Catalan police (Mossos), and I had always supported its creation and certain independence from the rest of police forces in Spain, has growth to become a bit too militarized for my taste.

I am not following their work on drug dealers, but the job they are doing with "terrorism" is appalling. There are cases of genuine terrorism but the majority, overwhelmingly majority, are not what they are selling to the media, and they have been doing this for more than a decade already... in brief portrayed disgruntled Muslim immigrants as "terrorists" for sharing files. I presume is half malice, half in a competition drive with the other police forces in Spain to gather recognition and medals. But I should not complain, in the US there is a lot of that too, I was just expecting better of that young and, supposedly, modern and agile police force.

It’s kind of hard to tell for this image, I think the background is probably real, or at least, created separately. but there are a couple sus features in the foreground. Superman’s right hand, the green jacket, and the apparent facial features of children I mentioned before.

It does have a signature in the bottom right, so I guess you could track down the artist to find out for sure, but with my first comment, I was just pointing out the comedy of kids with facial hair.

Recommend a simple, small cheap laptop < 15" I can chuck in my bag for use in coffee shops!

I'll buy used, so don't want latest and greatest. It won't be my main laptop.
to run linux obviously.
good battery life, light, not too small to use, but large enough to type on (obviously can do without numeric keypad). not too fragile!
I'll be doing some light python work, perhaps some c/c++ but I'm not after a workhorse, just something for quickly fixing bugs, or making notes on
sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

I'd be interested in hearing recommendations, and also what to avoid!

I got myself an old EEE PC for exactly that purpose. (Except, substitute python with lua).

8h battery life, cost me €20 and does what it's supposed to. Just make sure you get one with an Atom N280 or better. The popular N270 is 32bit only, and more and more programs are dropping 32bit support. Some of them you can DIY compile for 32bit, some you really don't want to.

(For example, compiling Node on an Atom N270 takes around 3 days.)

I had one with an N270 first and replaced it with one with an N450 to get 64bit.

Maxed it out with 2GB RAM, a cheapo €10 SSD that maxes out SATA and overclocked it to 2GHz.

It's not fast by any stretch of the imagination, but it's totally ok for editing text files with Kate and compiling with platformio.

Blender HDR and the reference white issue | About Blender's HDR support on Wayland

From Sebastian Wick’s Mastodon

Blender is getting HDR on Linux via Wayland before Windows! This isn't by accident, but shows how creating a system with a different design creates better results for users and application developers.

Firefox is in this same boat too. It will get HDR support on Linux* sooner than Windows. Firefox currently only supports HDR on MacOS.

Blender HDR and the reference white issue

The latest alpha of the upcoming Blender 5.0 release comes with High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for Linux on Wayland which will, if everything works out, make it into the final Blender 5.0 release on October 1, 2025.

proton pass vs simplelogin - aliases

I'm trying to migrate off gmail and apple services and ended up getting a domain and going to proton and using simplelogin for making aliases. But now I'm looking at proton pass, which comes free with my plan and lets me create aliases and wondering why I did that.

Ideally, I want nobody to have my main email address. everything gets an alias and dumps into the main. if the main address is found out, I just kill it and get another and point all the aliases to that. if an alias gets spammy or sold off to obnoxious marketing boobs, I kill the alias and create a new one.

I got started with migrating a few things over today into the aliases I had on my domain with simplelogin. I started to wonder what would happen if I replied to any of these and unlike apple hide-my-mail, it looks like these expose my actual address, unless I go through the trouble of going to simplelogin and getting an reverse alias link through them, which is an annoying pain in the ass. looking to see if there was any integration like apple's icloud had, I find proton pass is included in my mail plus plan and lets me do what simplelogin already was doing, complete with my domain being in the alias address!

So my question is why did I set up two seperate services for this? can I reply to incoming emails from the aliases created in proton pass without them revealing my address?

I have needed to get away from google for a while and am finally getting off my ass to do it, but apple hide my email was so simple to use whereas proton seems to have these weird oversights.

Unfortunate side effect of buying someone else's product instead of just making your own.

can I reply to incoming emails from the aliases created in proton pass without them revealing my address?

Yes. It's called a relay for a reason. When you receive an email it will come from a relay address, not the actual sender. You reply to that relay address and then the other party receives your relay address (alias).

in reply to wewbull • 2 mesi fa • •

Exactly. The article says that 90% of hardware doesn't run on it, but in reality, 100% of hardware doesn't run on it. Only Qemu supports it, which is an emulator (and very slow to emulate RiscV in my experience -- latest version we tried with my husband on a very fast PC).

The Orange Pi RV2 was the perfect introductory Risc-V SBC, everyone is going gaga for it, for being a good middle of the road solution for those who want to try Risc-V, and yet, Ubuntu won't support it (and even the current implementation is done by the Chinese, not by Canonical, so I wouldn't touch it).

So I'm not sure what they're thinking. My own conspiracy theory is that EITHER Canonical, OR Raspberry Pi (which are close geographically), are preparing RV23 hardware, so they want to undercut the competition that way.

Nothing else makes sense in that decision.

in reply to Eugenia

zarenki

in reply to Eugenia • 2 mesi fa • •

When compatible hardware is available, it's expected that having packages built for RVA23 will have a big impact on performance. You can already see a big part of that with the vector (V) extension: running programs built without it is akin to using x86 programs without SSE or AVX. RVA23 is the first RVA profile that considers V mandatory rather than optional.

You might see a similar performance impact if you target something like RVA22+V instead of RVA23, but as far as I know the only hardware systems that'd benefit from that are the Spacemit ones (OPi RV2, BPI-F3, Jupiter) while that'd still leave behind VisionFive 2, Pioneer, P550/Megrez, and even an upcoming processor UltraRISC announced recently. The profiles aren't exactly intended to be used for those kinds of fine-tuned combinations and it's possible some of the other RVA23 extensions (Zvbb, Zicond, etc.) might have a substantial impact too.

Hardware vendors want to showcase their system having the best performance it can, so I expect Ubuntu's aim is to have RVA23 builds ready before RVA23 hardware so that they'll be the distro of choice for future hardware, even if that means abandoning all existing RISC-V users. imo it would've been better to maintain separate builds for RV64GC and RVA23 but I guess they just don't care enough about existing RISC-V users to maintain two builds.

That being said "just" already being at that stage on economically affordable hardware is amazing. We are probably not far, say few years at most, with usable RISC-V chips for mundane tasks, e.g. text authoring, coding, Web browsing, but don't expect compilation of a browser, Blender, or gaming on this for few more years. IMHO it will go fast because it's catching up so the path is rather well laid down, which is much harder than innovating and pushing the envelope.

I wonder if the US is trying to slow down the development of RISCV in order to mantain egemony over chip production. I think RISCV poses a big "security" flaw for them being totally open source.

in reply to WhiteQuasar

utopiah

in reply to WhiteQuasar • 2 mesi fa • •

I guess it depends what you mean by "chip production".

AFAICT mostly via Chip War (2022) and reading a bit on the topic there are few bottlenecks, e.g chip design IP like ARM (UK) or lithography machines like ASML (NL) or high efficiency chip production like TSMC (Taiwan) but overall the grip from the US is mostly on democratization and scale with AMD, NVIDIA, Broadcom or even Intel, namely making a LOT of chips, not necessarily high end (some are) or mobile (also some), for a relatively low price. What I mean is that China is already claiming that they are producing about on-par IPS with e.g. Loongson.

So yes there are for sure incumbents based in the US that do not want RISCV and overall open architectures to make significant progress but is it fair to call them "the US" I'm not sure. Are they heavily leaning on US lawmakers to get their positions strengthened? Maybe. Maybe they do not yet do so simply because they don't believe it's a threat yet, nor it might be ever be.

I believe that in chip production you can lock production via innovation but also, like in other sectors, solely with the supply chain. ASML is powerful because they basically own their markets but also because who would contract with newcomers versus a very well established company that can provide all the insurances imaginable that they will indeed deliver on time a specific amount? Why risk it when you are already contracting with the leader?

Sure there is a potential innovator dilemma but what could prevent e.g. NVIDIA or Intel to switch to RISC-V if somehow they can dominate there too thanks to both their existing expertise but also supply chain stronghold?

In what way does it pose a big security flaw? And what are you basing the thought that the USA are slowing down development?

in reply to BeardedGingerWonder • 2 mesi fa • •

Being an open source architecture gives everyone (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and basically everyone else the US doesn't like, which apparently is most of world) the freedom to innovate at a fast pace, this is what I mean by security flaw. My thought that they could somewhat try to slow down the development is based on the rational thinking that 1. They are actually leading the chip develpment and 2. if someday everyone gets high performance chips (which is still not the case with RISCV yet) than everyone can get better defense industries, better intelligence systems, better military equipment. I'm not implying that they are actively doing it but that it might be in their interest to do so to maintain some kind of military egemony over their enemies, or at least to never be in a significant gap with anyone.

Risc v is an instruction set architecture not a chip design, the actual hardware implementation of any given risc v processor won't necessarily be open source and available to all, it's just a guarantee that if the spec is implemented then code compiled for risc v will run on a RISC V processor.

China has had access to x86 for years, they've not been able to implement a chip on par with current gen AMD or Intel chips.

US sanctions massively setback RISC-V.

We would have had the Milk-V OASIS last year , something better by now, and the answer to “as good as ARM” would be yes.

But Sophgo, the company making the SoC was accused of helping Huawei get access to restricted technology. So TSMC refused to make their chips. And the Milk-V OASIS was cancelled.

Massive blow to RISC-V.

If only he had done something early to protect Columbia students and California farm workers. He did nothing, thinking he would never get deported because he is white and believes in truth, justice, and the Amerikkkan way. By not defending Julian Assange, he left Clark Kent open to arrest.

The Jewish diaspora must confront what Israel is doing in our name

Judaism is not Zionism, and those who argue they are one and the same are being fundamentally dishonest. Yet collectively, Jews are often held responsible when the world's only Jewish state claims to act in our name.
