I really like Gerrit's workflow with diff reviews as opposed to pull requests, but unfortunately compared to something like gitea it lacks everything else we've come to expect from git hosting (issues, project planning, etc) which makes it seemingly a hard sell for many. I really wish there was a nice diff review platform kind of like phabricator but alas.

Surprised to see raspberry pi for hosting data that's supposed to be integral to a workflow. I've been burned too many times by SD card corruption in the past. Do you use NVME drives nowadays, just curious.

If this is verified, this is a very big deal. Root access on any shared computer. Additionally do we know what kernel versions and stable versions have the patch?

It's the former. Not bypassing permissions but in shells that might be highly restricted to just a couple commands. Like others have said, very very common in CTFs.

Fixed as of 22:30 UTC. Hope there's a postmortem.

Just wait and it will be something like "Github's internal DNS was down and caused widespread service communication issues."

I wonder if this is an underlying infra issue with Azure being that Github was also having issues.

Been using Typst recently and really like it compared to LaTex. Pretty nice way to write things out and kinda like markdown in some ways but completely different in others. In my mind it's like a Markdown LaTex hybrid.

Too bad Copilot's having issues and as such it will take longer for recovery.

I guess a full postmortem like any other company would be too much as they have outages each week, sometimes multiple times a week.

At this point it's a weekly occurrence...

Refreshing to see a device like this that doesn't require the internet or bluetooth.

This seems very sketchy. Give us your laptop and we promise we won't keep it...

Also colaptop.com is not even registered anymore. If I had to guess the pages.dev site stayed up but the domain and email are nowhere.

Just wait until github comes up with an outage tuesday.

Yeah, I think especially Git mirrors can go a long too for maintaining availability and also for reducing load off main infra.

And this is why I self host a lot of my Git stack with Gerrit...

Won't this just cause more issues with customer server agents. Like I would assume more people would be annoyed once they get an agent.

I don't believe "Our team is using Matrix on Workers." The repo is in someone's personal Github and a pretty incomplete and insecure implementation.

Blog post now says: "* This post was updated at 11:15 a.m. Pacific time to clarify that the use case described here is a proof of concept. Some sections have been updated for clarity." But parts of it are still misleading.

Talking about Cursor not Cloudflare.

I wouldn't put it past them...

Wow this is definitely not a software engineer. Hmm I wonder if Git stores history...

Yeah deleting the TODOs like that is honestly a worse look.

That honestly makes everything so much worse.

I essentially just use them for this and domain DNS/Registrar as their pricing is pretty good for that.

They aren't really a multi-billion dollar corporation. A lot of it is them just pumping up their valuation. Stuff like this proves that in a lot of ways.

It didn't and it had some pretty weird commit history and emails. Overall not a super great sign...

Cloudflare also works in Europe and has POPs there so I don't see why you couldn't use that. But there are also Hetzner VMs if you can configure sometime a bit less turnkey and don't necessarily need a CDN but just hosting mainly.

Honestly I like Cloudflare's CDN and DNS but beyond that I don't really trust much else from them. In the past though their blog has been one of the best in the space and the information has been pretty useful, almost being a gold standard for postmortems, but this seems especially bad. Definitely out of line compared to the rest of their posts. And with the recent Cursor debacle this doesn't help. I also don't really get their current obsession with porting every piece of software on Earth to Workers recently...
