This is only helpful to those who have a router with a USB port. My router is old enough where it has no usb, but seeing as it still works, I have no reason to replace it. Forgot to add that I bookmarked this for when I do get a router with a usb port in it .

Arguably you could skip a router and just ssh everything everywhere, but to date I do not have a standalone piece of hardware serving. Thus, I decided to have a NAS/server on my network ^_^

Agreed, and ultimately I won't use this long term. but it was a fun project for the day.

I use GitHub myself: https://github.com/phrasz

Also, please no *nix wars... I use Ubuntu b/c it's the sanest of all the "major distros" (Valve basically drove the nail in the coffin on that one...; and I learned on Breezy Badger first because fedora core never took). I prefer Arch and BSD, but they are a pain in the ass usually, and I can't easily put steam on them yet

P.S. I like unity; if I wanted archaic computing I'd boot to run level 3

I'll avoid the Ubuntu debate because it's like stealing candy from a baby and I don't even like candy, but regarding Steam that much I can sort of understand. I had it working sufficiently in Debian unstable for a short period, but I guess they must have released a new version of Debian and opened the flood gates for unstable software or something because unstable became unstable and suddenly nothing worked. I haven't gotten around to getting another distro up with Steam yet.

I lied, I'll take a go at Ubuntu. I started with Ubuntu when I learned of Steam for Linux and that it was the official distro. I knew it would be different. I knew I'd have to make sacrifices. I was pressing on right up until I learned that the "main system menu" was sending everything I typed to the Internet implicitly and by default. No Linux distribution can do that and be respected. If I wanted that kind of invasion I'd use Microsoft's Windows or Apple's OS X. FUCK CANONICAL! As far as I'm concerned, they're just as crooked, even if they build their traps on otherwise free software.

I do.

Bitbucket is much better than Github if only because Python is better than Ruby.

That and Github's pricing structure is terrible.

FUD.

Talk to Ruby fan-boys, then talk to Python developers. The difference is huge. I cannot stand to be associated with the former.

Github would cost my company over $400/month if Wikipedia is correct and we'd have to host it on our own servers. 125 private repos is nothing. Bitbucket is $25/month, and the service is just as good.

I'd rather not talk to ruby or python fan-boys kthx.

You have to pay them to host your own hardware?? Wow.

125 private repositories is not enough.

The only other listed option is hosting the GitHub software on your own equipment for the price I mentioned. Or of course, paying even more money by distributing across different accounts. None of that is reasonable.

With BitBucket's per user model, we can create repos for everything, and not worry about having to archive them onto a secondary place and delete them. It's a much more reasonable model, because users are the primary factor of how much resources you use. The number of repositories is largely irrelevant because disk space is cheap and a single person can only realistically work on a few at a time.

When GitHub blogs about how awesome it is that they created font-icons, I just laugh thinking "Great, that's how they spend their customers' money."

WTF is that propaganda shit? I even followed some links and there's more shitty propaganda from the same guy. So GNU now needs this kind of stuff? Pitiful .

Protip: That is Richard Stallman, the founder of GNU, and arguably the originator of the free software movement! That was always there and every bit of it is valid. He aims for a world where free [as in beer] [as in speech]^[1] software is the norm. Ubuntu really is a plague upon free software. Nothing he says in that article is unwarranted. According to the history books, GNU exists because Richard Stallman recognized how harmful restrictive licensing is to software, and chose to take a stand. Ubuntu is basically the worst Linux-based OS that you could choose in terms of freedoms. It might be easier to use, but that is likely only due to the developer selling its soul to the Devil(tm) and getting in bed with all of the non-free vendors. There's a very good reason that other distributions don't do what Ubuntu has. Other distributions respect the user.

Yes, forgive me. I'm tired/sick/intoxicated and evidently not fully conscious of what I'm saying. I guess I just have beer on the brain. That should have been "free[as in speech]". Free as in beer is ideal, but understandably nobody can work for free if they expect to pay their bills. The most important thing is free as in speech, and in general respecting users. Ubuntu implicitly spying on its users by default is not respecting them at all.

Thanks for catching my mistake, Arthur.

That's what his idea of freedom is?

GPL is the opposite of that. People are given freedom to modify, rather than all of the power being vested in a sole developer or developers.
