Today I learned five ways to make a footer in CSS:

1.
.footer { position: absolute; height: 60px; ...}
.body { margin-bottom: 60px; }

problem: not responsive.

2.
.footer { position: absolute; padding: 1.5em 0; ...}
body {}

problem: if body is too long, it hides under the footer

3.
.footer { position: static; padding: 1.5em 0; ...}
body {}

problem: if body is too short, there's empty space between the footer and the bottom of the browser window

and now for the correct ways:

4. https://mdn.github.io/css-examples/css-cookbook/sticky-footer.html

5. https://mdn.github.io/css-examples/css-cookbook/sticky-footer-flexbox.html

Went with 5, because we already use flexbox elsewhere on the site, but don't use grid yet.

If you think that Linux can move to GitHub or GitLab and still be productive at scale, I want you to read through the MAINTAINERS file in the root of the Linux source tree.

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/linux/tree/master/MAINTAINERS

Every one of those entries has a dedicated maintainer in charge of it, applying to a subset of the source tree. All 3,000 of them. Many of these have dedicated external trees, mailing lists, and policies. Almost all of this development happens away from the LKML. Each of those trees has a path upwards towards Linus's tree, often via other trees and other maintainers, or towards the -lts trees. These trees are not necessarily authoritative either, and the kernel you're running might be its own upstream maintained by your Linux distro, unique from any of the releases on kernel.org.

All of it is based on email. And it *works* to drive the most efficient and largest-scale open-source project in history.

Making this video took me pretty long but I wanted to correctly underline how great and unique the design of this smartphone is :

𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 on the 'Consensus decision-making' wikipedia (EN) page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making

I remembered how wikipedia is pretty much the galactic source of truth, and what's written there matters. I'm also quite involved with how people (esp. voluntary, bottom-up collectives) make decisions.

The CDM article gets 300+ page views per day, and spikes with occupations, etc: it's being used. It needs some improvements, and I don't want to do them alone!

Message me, or see you on wiki!
