@mcgrof No, and I don't really see a way to make that work reliably. One of the requests I have is to provide a containerized image that would make it easy for someone to run a git.kernel.org mirror, but that's non-trivial, even if we limit this to just the 3 main repos (torvalds, stable, next). The fickle nature of container storage makes it very easy to introduce git repo corruption, which is really hard to fix without destroying/rebuilding the whole thing.

@jeroen Please just use https://pypi.org/project/grokmirror/ -- we make it extremely easy to mirror the entire collection efficiently and grab all updates almost as soon as they are there, in any repo.

@mcgrof we already make it extremely efficient to mirror git.kernel.org: https://pypi.org/project/grokmirror/ : you can poll that every 10 seconds and know exactly when each repo is updated.

@Codeberg I swear, we're fighting a losing battle.

Hi everyone, for several hours we are currently fighting with potentially malicious crawling. We are seeing distributed access on Codeberg that could have been crawling, however it seems to only use the most expensive routes. And each time we block an access pattern, a new one pops up immediately.

We are doing our best to keep the performance up.

PSA: please don't use git.kernel.org directly for your CI needs. It is not viable for us to provide enough capacity to withstand dozens of CI nodes all trying to clone linux.git at the same time for multiple CI farms. You *will* get ip-blocked. Please set up a local mirror and hit that instead.

Today, I presented the b4 tool to the Linux council at our office (talk was geared towards developers only though).

My colleagues frequently encountered patch corruption issues with mail servers. They were impressed when I introduced the concept of web endpoint submission.

Thanks to @monsieuricon for such a wonderful tool.

@Teaceratops that's some enviable dedication! I must confess that I'm part of the West Island car culture, though I will likely get an e-bike this summer.

Me: I'll bring this new node and route a small part of the outgoing mail through it to build up IP reputation.
Spamhaus: there's an IP on your ::/64 that's been sending spam, so we've now blocked that entire subnet, lol.
