Unexpected behavior with the #ubuntu package archive

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-noble-mirror-question/63068?u=dwd-daniel

Ubuntu Noble mirror question

Good afternoon A question about the Ubuntu package archive - I am not sure where it fits into the Discourse categories. Please help me correctly categorize it. I run a mirror of Ubuntu Noble, on my computer which I update each day. It’s built by grabbing the metadata from archive.ubuntu.com (or another mirror), then scanning all of the Package.gz files, from which it generates a list of files to sync. I’ve written about it in detail here: https://danieldewberry.com/blog/ubuntu-package-archive-...

 🐛 Found what I think is a bug in the Valgrind package

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/valgrind/+bug/2111505

TL;DR: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and XML files have executable bits set when they shouldn't

Always report your bugs!

# DESCRIPTION There are a number of files deployed into /usr/libexec/valgrind/ by the installation of Valgrind, some of which are HTML, CSS, JavaScript and XML.

💡#DWDsTips List the diskspace used by your LXD containers & VMs storage:

 sudo bash -c 'du -cshx /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/default/{containers,virtual-machines}{,-snapshots}/*' | sort -rh

I didn't set up a zpool on my laptop so I can't use that good stuff.

@psijack my pleasure.
There's also an x-forwarded-for defacto header which may contain a comma separated list of ip addresses, but may be spoofed so i don't trust that
