We must assume that Europe is becoming the world's last democratic major hub. Imperfect, perhaps, but democratic.

As such, Europe is the prime target of the new American administration.

Everything this administration will do will be aimed at harming us.

Washington's primary objective is now to hamper Europe's ability to exert a counter-power, even if it means joining forces with the worst tyrants.

We still have allies in the United States, but not within the administration.

I wasn't particularly fond of Greta Thunberg, but I like Apartheid Karen even less.

@puppygirlhornypost2 That's the plan for now, but on a different domain and only limited to web views.

@puppygirlhornypost2 Yes, but it's now Fastly who's experiencing this issue, not us. :)

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.

DOGE is just "cancel culture" with weapons.

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.
