Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
`fondu` is no longer available via homebrew: `Error: fondu has been
disabled because it is not maintained upstream!` (since
Homebrew/homebrew-core#66396) and the `pkg` file available on `fondu`'s
site doesn't seem to work on Big Sur. An alternative option is to use
`fontforge`, which a little `python` script (it's definitely less short
an harder to read, but it works). Additionally, it looks like the file
*might* be called `ttc` instead.
I have also updated the URL for ImageMagick's `type_gen` because it now
lives under `legacy.imagemagick.org` which causes `curl` to capture a
301 page instead.
Dependency on gifsicle, allow_animated_avatars and allow_animated_thumbnails
site settings were all removed. Animated GIF images are still allowed, but
the generated optimized images are no longer animated for those (which were
used for avatars and thumbnails).
The added 'animated' is populated by extracting information using FastImage.
This field was used to selectively reoptimize old animations. This process
happens in the background.
`discourse-setup` will install Docker. Several people lately have had trouble with a `|` getting turned into a `>` when trying to `curl` the site into `sh`.
Also, the recommended `git clone` command will create `/var/discourse`, so don't tell people to make that directory, as that too can be confusing.
When I last exercised this procedure, the Digital Ocean UI defaulted to
'Ubuntu 18.04 x64', not 16.04 as it once did. 18.04 -- Bionic Beaver --
is the latest Ubuntu LTS release.
