“fetch all”
A SourceTree fetch all actually comes down to this:
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false fetch --tags origin
Despite being such a big command-line, it sometimes doesn’t find new remote branches and you end up with a situation like this:

In this article I compare the costs of network bandwidth transferred out of Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Lightsail.
Bandwidth costs are one of the most ridiculously expensive components of cloud computing, and there are some serious inconsistencies in the industry, especially with Amazon.
[…]
If you move a significant amount of data you should think twice before moving to the cloud, these bandwidth prices are truly ridiculous and there’s no way they can be justified when compared to colocation facilities.

From [WayBack1/WayBack2] Google is sunsetting Google+ by August 2019. “sunsetting” – clarification: “no fucks were given about current users” Edit: Sticky while the shock facto… – Lars Fosdal – Google+ I learned the very successful German forum site DelphiPraxis might start English forums.
Given the excellent track record of Embarcadero maintaining infrastructure up and running for the long therm, DelphiPraxis just might be the way to go:
Some links:
The English board has three public RSS streams as per [WayBack] RSS feeds for new posts ? – Community Management – Delphi-PRAXiS [en]:
The first has all posts and all comments, so is really noisy.
The second seems to be the best for just new posts.
Via: [WayBack] Have you registered at https://en.delphipraxis.net yet? If you haven’t migrated your daily Delphi browsing to Delphi-PRAXiS yet, you should. The reason… – Lars Fosdal – Google+

[WayBack] GitHub – yandex/gixy: Nginx configuration static analyzer
Gixy is a tool to analyze Nginx configuration. The main goal of Gixy is to prevent security misconfiguration and automate flaw detection.
…
Right now Gixy can find:
- [ssrf] Server Side Request Forgery
- [http_splitting] HTTP Splitting
- [origins] Problems with referrer/origin validation
- [add_header_redefinition] Redefining of response headers by “add_header” directive
- [host_spoofing] Request’s Host header forgery
- [valid_referers] none in valid_referers
- [add_header_multiline] Multiline response headers
- [alias_traversal] Path traversal via misconfigured alias
You can find things that Gixy is learning to detect at Issues labeled with “new plugin”
This helps you prevent an nginx configuration issue that can server too many static content by using ../ in the web request which got a lot of attention last week, but was in fact already found during 2016 HCTF by Aklis, and presented by Orange Tsai (twitter/github/blog) various times in 2018, including [WayBack] hack.lu 2018.

Before doing anything else: take out your data, especially the G+ data at takeout.google.com/settings/takeout, then download at takeout.google.com/settings/takeout/downloads:
TL;DR:
An excellent post on this is [WayBack] The Google Exit Strategy – alexreusch which I found via:
It looks like having a blog with a commenting system is not such a bad starting point at all…
I have no really good idea where to go from G+. The sunset feels a lot like Google Reader, after which I switched to Feedly, which works pretty well, Wave and Inbox.
There is a [WayBack] Petition · Google, Inc: Don’t Shut Down Google Plus · Change.org, but if memory serves well, that did not help much for the other discontinued products.
So before in 9 months G+ ends up in Category:Discontinued Google services – Wikipedia, I am contemplating about alternatives.
Suddenly very relevant is the 2014 comic [WayBack] xkcd 1361: Google Announcement / [WayBack] 1361: Google Announcement – explain xkcd on the right (via [WayBack] XKCD 1361 – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+).
You can register your migration at the [WayBack] Google Plus Migration Directory Form form which will end up in [WayBack] Google Plus Migration Directory (Responses) – Google Sheets (via [WayBack] I made a form that will generate a spreadsheet with anyone’s information and destinations. Email field was added so you could edit your responses, but t… – John Lewis – Google+)
Your email will not end up in the migration directory, see [WayBack] Does Google collect survey participant’s email address? – Google Product Forums
Edit 20240819: the above Goo.Gl link died; it used to point to [Wayback/Archive] Google Plus Migration Directory.
