My wife moved to Belgium for me 8 years ago and also has dual citizenship. She assumed it would be fine to travel on Belgium passport + ETA but that's not allowed.

She also had to go through a very expensive process to renew her British passport last minute.

Silly system.

It's such a nightmare at my current job as well. Everything always just breaks and needs investigating how to fix.

Even putting aside the MITM and how horrendous that is, the amount of time lost from people dealing with the fallout got to have cost so much time (and money). I can't fathom why anyone competent would want to implement this, let alone not see how much friction and safety issues it causes everywhere.

I really like the new way the 'undo' works, it's much more intuitive! Especially combined with the redo it will give me even more confidence to play around.

The whole operation log was already so nice. It's saved me a few times when I did some stupid things, but also invited me to experiment and learn :).

I have been super happy to discover jj a few months ago. I am on the path to go from barely getting by with git ui's to be able to do vcs magic with jj.

I'm in a very similar situation: been using git for a long time, but anything more complicated always via some kind of UI (often intellij).

Been using jj without significant issues for about a month and been super happy to be comfortable using the cli and slowly ramping up to more complicated operations.

The documentation still assumes a lot of inherent knowledge which sometimes makes it a little difficult. I love seeing blog posts like these and hopefully some more in depth resources will appear over time. Steve's guide is good, but there are still gaps for me :).

Next I want to learn some more revset language and become a bit more fluent with rebase operations. I love the more simplified cli, conflict resolution and op log!

I love the idea of litestream and litefs and do use it for some smaller projects, but have also been worried it was abandoned. The line is quite thin between "done" and "not maintained".

There clearly still is some untapped potential in this space, so I am glad benbjohnson is exploring and developing these solutions.

Great that the new release will offer the ability to replicate multiple database files.

> Modern object stores like S3 and Tigris solve this problem for us: they now offer conditional write support

I hope this won't be a hard requirement, since some S3 compatible storage do not have this feature (yet). I also do use the SFTP storage option currently.
