A quick wrapper script for normalized git commit dates. Commit dates and timezones are normalized or truncated to the day. This is useful for avoiding rebasing and/or not having to think about system or git date/time settings when on another device or in another timezone. If precise timestamps matter, then it is easily disabled.

#!/bin/sh -eu

GIT=$(which git --all | grep --invert-match "local/bin" | head --lines 1)
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$(date --utc --date '0' '+%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %z')"

export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE

[ "${1:-}" = "commit" ] && export DATE=1 && $GIT "$@" --date="$GIT_COMMITTER_DATE"

[ "${DATE:-}" = 1 ] && exit

$GIT "$@"

Tracking git metadata never crossed my mind (git privacy). My understanding was that metadata can’t be sole ground truths anyway. Known real–world contributors increase trust/triangulation.

Reality is not always in sync with metadata, for example; rebasing repositories as 1 commit, using different names/emails, travelling (without updating tz) or working inside time drifted virtual machines.

I’d imagine that simpler anonymization involves anonymous contributors sharing the same metadata. In short, the deniable we are one, we are many, we are legion cloak.

Infinite scrolling is unusual. Most implementations are “almost infinite” to avoid excessive DOM length (memory).

• Infinite scrolling: Limits content to an arbitrarily large amount to avoid exhausting memory.

• Virtual scrolling: Unload everything except the visible viewport + a top and bottom offset. Pad the rest.

Virtual scrolling is infinite, but breaks auxiliary actions ( CTRL + F ) because what’s on the screen is the content.

document.addEventListener("scroll", function() {
  console.log(document.querySelectorAll('*').length)
});

The most popular library appears to be https://infinite-scroll.com.

Some SSH options are worth tweaking when directly distributing code with git to multiple remotes. ConnectTimeout and BatchMode (optionally for automation). ControlMaster enables multiplexing for session sharing via sockets.

ForwardX11 no
Compression no
ConnectTimeout 3
ServerAliveCountMax 1
ServerAliveInterval 10

Host *
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPersist yes
  ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h-%p

%r@%h-%p translates to user@hostname-22.
