IIRC I didn't even had to format or move the data I had on it before installing.
You'll hear "I win 100k a year", not "I win 181k a year". During hiring, you negotiate on the 100k number. Your contract mention this number. In the end, if there is a tax raise on the company part, they have to maintain your salary to the same level, even if it ends up costing them more than before.
That'd be also why US salaries seem so high from the outside, but are less impressive once your factor this in.

As the administrator I also really appreciate that there is an APT package available, so it is updated with the rest of the OS via unattended-upgrades. They also provide Docker and k8s installations. Except for the v1 to v2 migration 3 or 4 years ago that was a bit chaotic at first, it has been a very solid software.
This is "just" a repository hosting software though. It will not force you to use a specific git flow, there is no PR/MR interface. There are some plugins to enable some workflows, but nothing specific. While not numerous, there are several integrations available, like JIRA or Redmine, even LDAP for authentication.
There are no CI/CD part either. There is a Jenkins plugin though. Or you can also configure webhooks to be called on push events and design your own CI around it.

It makes sense in a way, when you spend 7+ hours a day with those people, you're bound to find some common interests that could bring you closer. What's hard is maintaining those friendships once they're no longer coworkers, as usually those "common interests" are mostly about the company's.
I'm not sure about the ambiguity mentioned in the blogpost, as ISO standards are usually rather thorough. I suppose it's because most of software implementing AMF did so without the full specification at hand and assumed some things.
For me STL/AMF and 3MF are complimentary. When I design a piece in FreeCAD and want to export it, AMF or STL is good enough as FreeCAD doesn't know anything about the printer I'll be using or the settings I want. But once in PrusaSlicer it makes sense to use 3MF to keep everything tight, for example if I need to move an already configured file from home to the office.
But I think this app solves a few additional use cases:
- Some places forbids to display a photo of your QR Code. So you'd have to scan your QR Code on paper, paste the data to a QR Code generator, store the bitmap on your phone. If you're not tech savvy that may be too complex, and you may risk leaking your private data if the QR Code generator doesn't do it locally.
- The app allow storing several certificates, that means you can have your certificate, your teenage children's, and your partner's on your own phone, acting as backups for each other. You can also store the certificate of your elders so they don't need their A4 sheet when you bring them to the supermarket.
- There is a lot of FUD around what's really inside the QR Code. I'm hopeful an application like this, not made by an official entity, will help people understand exactly what kind of data you can read from it.
And also, and finally the biggest reason for this app (and for all of my other projects) to exist: I was curious and I wanted to gain experience on development, here Angular and PWA. :)
TousAntiCovid, the official French application, was released back when we had to rely only on contact tracing to slow the spread of coronavirus. It asks for a lot of permissions, beginning with bluetooth (and geolocation), but also to be put in the exceptions of the battery optimization, to be running in the background... Even if it's open source and available on f-droid it requires way too much just to store QR codes.
Having worked with Angular recently for work, I created this little PWA to scan my DCC and show it whenever asked, now that it's required for a lot of activities here. Free of customer requirements, I tried to respect my own ideas: self-hosting capability, no server-side part necessary, no tracking from third-parties scripts.
Funny thing is that it's most probably the first side project I consider completely finished and I'm happy with its current state.

I had limited time and access to iOS devices for testing, any feedback on those devices is appreciated.
It offers a nice Web UI for QEMU and LXC and makes the whole experience quite good.
I came from VirtualBox too and never looked back.
I'd say it's mostly because there is an application process. Unlike for example travel guides where people go around the world to discover new places, IDA is waiting for those places to apply. If you add the language barrier, the quite long list of requirements and political actions to make to be able to apply, that only reduces the list of candidates.
I suppose there are also less-known local initiatives throughout the world. Here in France, we have the ANPCEN [0], fighting against light pollution and delivering labels to cities that take actions against light pollution (like shutting off the streetlights from 11PM to 5AM).
