Think twice before abandoning X11. Wayland breaks everything!

Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11. Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

Extend Gitlab Access Tokens

Gitlab enforced token expiry limits to 365 days last year, and the time is now upon us.

They don't have an opt-out for this, and haven't provided a way to easily extend tokens in the web interface. They have also gated their credential management interface behind their Ultimate license.

This quickly thrown together script will allow you to add an extra year to all tokens that expire in the next 30 days. It will not reactivate tokens that have already expired.

Requires the python-gitlab module. Edit your self-hosted Gitlab instance details into the script and run it. It will dump out CSVs of all expiring tokens, and then dump out a list of commands you can paste into a gitlab-rails console session to extend the expiry date by another year. If you need them to be active for longer, change 1.year.from_now to the value of your choice, e.g. `10.years.fro
