@trini you should email helpdesk@kernel.org and mention the IP address that it resolves to (lore is multiple systems, depending on your location).

Hello, large swathes of AWS EC2 Frankfurt. Welcome to my DROP policy. Sorry it's come to this.

@tost unfortunately, it's not reasonable to cache git. We're already optimizing things greatly on the backend, but certain git operations will always have a huge CPU or RAM footprint, and it's not reasonable to cache or deny them. :(

@wolf480pl grokmirror will mirror git.kernel.org very efficiently for you (in full or in part).

If you're setting up some kind of CI farm and it's configured to clone from git.kernel.org, STOP. Set up your own damn mirror.

There's not enough RAM in the world to survive 120 shallow clone request for stable.git that all come within 2 seconds of each other, especially when they are all coming from a bunch of AWS IPs. I'm sending abuse reports, so hopefully whoever is doing this will get the message that it's not OK.

@ljs it's less obvious than a single IP hammering things. With git, it's possible to eat all the RAM and drive the OS into hard swap state even with just a few requests, so figuring out what happened is really difficult, especially after you've had to kill all outstanding processes just so you can get the load down.

I confess, I've never looked at my phone and thought "you know what it could really use? More moving parts."

But what do I know.

@ljs something makes the AMS frontend unhappy right around 5:30 AM my time, and it's really hard to figure out the responsible party from all the traffic.

I see some world leaders will say anything in exchange for some deeply discounted Russian oil. There is only one way to achieve peace in Ukraine -- to restore it inside the internationally recognized 1991 borders, force the aggressor to pay reparations for all death and destruction it brought, and make sure that Ukraine is part of a strong alliance capable of deterring any future threat from Mad Pu.

@brauner @corbet @mattdm @hrw yes, my goal for this year is to offer read-only inboxes that are lei-prefilteted for each subsystem using curated search queries. Maintainers can then source them into their inbox via POP3 or IMAP, or read them via nntp.

@corbet @mattdm @broonie disallowing HTML mail gets rid of 99% of spam. The rest is linkspam, mostly.

@krzk We'll still have plenty of chances -- we still have to live through the enshittification of Github and Gitlab.

Hoo boy, another discussion about how mailing lists are terrible and therefore must be replaced by a single point of failure system with non-exportable archives.
