With rsync seemingly being broken on slackware.uk and the main ftp.arm.slackware.com just doesn't return any data, I seem to have no ways to obtain #slackwareaarch64 updates. I'm sure there's another mirror out there, but not one I have configured. Ah well, to top it off, codeberg is also shitting the bed today, so I really can't do anything linux-related but install something else and play with it instead. lol
@jloc0 Good not good to hear that about Codeberg. Couldn't git push updates. But I've got a certain Hyprland update waiting to get and play with 🥳
@thesaigoneer I've had more problems with codeberg than I ever did with github. And that's probably to be expected, but I didn't expect it to be as bad as it is... ahh well, I'd host my own git but I don't want to deal with AI bots scraping it, nor do I want to deal with all that software to block them either. I'll just deal with it... loudly. 😆
@kevinbowen I do recall reading that statement, but my brain says it was yesterday, and I seem to have wrongly assumed things would be working normally again by now... ahh well, what can ya do.
@jloc0 I run a local, private git and only use public sites as mirrors. I've got no interest being dependent on someone else's infrastructure. I know to done extent there's no getting around it, but if you don't have a local server, maybe think about spinning one up so you can work more or less unimpeded.
@mason I'd never really thought about running a private one before. Mostly because I probably wouldn't be using git if I didn't keep things online. I forced myelf to use git sites so I wouldn't be sloppy & lazy but that's a good idea. Maybe I can finally find a use for this rpi5 sitting here and I could put all the stuff on there that I don't want online & mirror what I do at codeberg.
@jloc0 I'd have your workstation be the primary home and just set up remotes for your home server, Codeberg, etc. It's all just redundancy.
@mason yeah, that would be the best choice. Then it wouldn't matter if the mirrors have a bit of downtime, because I wouldn't be dependent on them working to get things done.
