if possible you can also just create directories if they don't exist (ie. mkdir -p) and just exclude it in your root .gitignore (ie. ignore all build directories). That would safe you from creating multiple .gitignore files.
I tried this for a virtualized full screen gnome desktop environment but the latency was unbearable. I also couldn't get passthrough of command/caps lock etc to the virtual machine stable. Finally connecting an USB device (like a yubikey) didn't work seamless.
It's a nice coincidence to find this post on HN today as I JUST finished reading Gleick's book. But it was the audiobook version, which I immediately realized was not going to be very effective if I can't see any images or equations. And so it's perfect timing to see this outstanding interactive visualization!
If you’re launching machines from a prebaked image or template, it may not be possible to inject/generate something unique for each one, or doing so is finicky to the point that using something like wormhole may be simpler than fighting with your provisioning tool.
I don't like GUIs for this so I made a simple cli frontend for rsync/rclone so I can just run pull/push in a directory like git. https://github.com/meeuw/rzn
Yeah, I used DAVMail with Emacs+MSMTP+MPOP+notmuch for ages. Works really well, the only occasional thing I had to do was reauthenticate the token, which pops up in a browser window.

It doesn't, assuming you have the PIN to the bicycle.

I've worked on my two VanMoofs a bunch to keep them running and they're okay quality parts in my opinion. Additionally, they sold about 200k bicycles so there's plenty of second hand, and even new, parts out there.
Since we were swapping it from owner every few months initially, when the App still worked, we left it unlocked and with a normal chain lock. Luckily for us, since now the app doesn't work anymore.
