Yep for the web they worked better. I don't remember midi files getting as close to popular music as mods did. Then mp3 happened and you could download an MP3 in about quarter of an hour in that era. You could hear a midi though in the

If you have the luxury, switch to different OS user accounts. mr_shopping for online buying, mr_games for games, .. mr_rascal for you know what. The attack surface isn't any different, but the blast radius might be.

GitLab, not GitHub. I think the distinction is that you can have a on-prem GitLab (as well as hosted online). The implication here being that RedHat probably had very relaxed account security.
