My plan it so move the git web view from git.kernel.org to a dedicated host, just as a way to deal with hostile crawler bots interfering with people's ability to actually fetch git objects. I'll follow up with a more formal announcement when it's ready to go.

@djh I could not find a "finger" command, but there is a "6finger" one.

Used the maintainer features of @monsieuricon 's b4 for the first time and I'm still amazed just how convenient that tool is. It automatically collects the patches together with any tags from the mailing list and then even prepares "thank you" emails with lists of applied patches automatically!

@nblr Eh, too much work to calculate that out. :) Also, very much depends on the mirror -- most of our transfers seem to be out of our Amsterdam node, where it routinely consumes all 20Gbps available on the physical NIC.

@corbet @kees @jmorris @securepaul Don't feel bad, it literally happened to me last week with www.kernel.org because there was a DNS record clash. ;)
(But we do have monitoring in place, so we caught it that way.)

@kees @securepaul @jmorris It's true that certbot will auto-renew, but things do go wrong with the process every now and again (especially if you use DNS-based proofs). So, having a "btw, your TLS cert is about to expire" email was a good last-resort measure to prevent a much worse oh-shit moment. :)

@ekg No, git has very poor support for offloading anything to static hosting and it really only makes sense for fresh clones. For doing any other kind of operation you want the git server to give you exactly the objects you're missing (and they will be different for everyone).

@ekg Large multinationals *are* reaching out, so we won't be left out in the cold for sure -- it's just busywork that I wasn't anticipating. Plus, the nature of git hosting and mirrors makes it really difficult to accept any kind of CDN solutions.

Also -- I want to make it clear that I don't hold any grudges against Equinix. They've been exceptionally good to us over the past 7 years (!) and we wish them the best as we prepare to part ways.

If you're curious, mirrors.kernel.org transfers about 1PiB of data weekly. At Equinix Metal's list price of $0.05 per GB, it would cost us roughly $200,000 a month to operate these systems once the credits go away.
So, yeah, definitely looking for a new home for them.

@securepaul @jmorris I believe it's more like "we're tired fighting with your email providers."

Temu's slogan is "shop like a billionaire" but I can't find "US president" for sale anywhere on their site.
