It's ridiculous. Not being able to work (or having tools/certain websites fail randomly each time there's a high audience match) because "soccer" tells you a lot about the priorities of the country. Or at least of the elements that make these kinds of decisions and policies possible...

We even got an isitchristmas.com-like website to track this (https://hayahora.futbol/). I admit I find it a bit amusing.

Ok.

  $ apt-cache policy rsync | grep Installed
    Installed: 3.4.1+ds1-7ubuntu0.2
  $ sudo apt-mark hold rsync     
    rsync set on hold.

That version has security fixes from the same day as the latest rsync release: https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8283-1

As usual, Ubuntu backported fixes and didn't upgrade to a new version. Whether or not they also backported regressions in edge cases that afflict the latest rsync, I don't know. Pinning the Ubuntu package may prevent getting further regressions, but is preventing you getting any future such backported security fixes.

The Ubuntu backport did include regressions that an Ubuntu update a couple of days later addresses: https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8349-2

Did you face any actual bugs or regressions? Or are you doing this just because of the bandwagon that's going around right now? Because until you can actually present an argument for why this release is worse than any of the others, which is precisely the subject of my post, then this is not an argument against my post at all. This is just a self-referential appeal to authority.

> Did you face any actual bugs or regressions?

This is a terrible argument; I didn't need to have had secrets exfiltrated before applying row-hammer mitigations. If rsync is the cornerstone of my backup strategy, and has been for years, I need to trust that on its correctness, and for it to not lose my data. If I wait until I "face any actual bugs or regressions" - that will be far too late.

Stability is another issue not discussed. If the error rate holds steady, but number of significant PRs merged per release goes up from 5 to 200, that would be huge net-negative for my use case.

Nah, I skimmed TFA but then I went into the linked GH issues thread, and that's the one that scared me a bit. I just want to hold it for a while and not run into some of the things I'm reading since I'm on the latest ubuntu. Just a precaution.

I didn't have the time to actually think about any "arguments" at all tbh it's just a knee jerk reaction as I get ready to log off for the weekend. Not actually looking to argument for or against your post at all lol.

Yes but you may need the IPs to warm up and build some reputation, depending where you setup your server the IPs may be burned. Check logs and reputation with some of the postmaster tools the major providers offer and with the services that allow looking up an IP. senderscore used to be convenient to use now it displays a stupid contact form when you try to check an IP, there are others.

To be honest I haven't done the setup for sending a handful of emails but IPs sending hundreds/thousands per day it's fine as long as you don't start spamming people and get flagged.

Been a while since I've used it, but I remember using a tool for this, gita [1], you could also just pass through commands to each repo.

Just like sibling here, hard disagree.

I don't like all toggles to be gone since dark mode quality varies a lot, and also I may want some sites or apps one way and some another way. So removing the choice and slapping all configuration under a single "dark/light" browser toggle really annoys me, especially when sites stop providing the toggles because it's more convenient to just use the CSS property and do less. To me it's another step in the dumbing down of the UIs that I regret.

Perfectly ok with defaulting to that global setting though.

Similar vibes to the relative date infection with no option to opt out and get the full date in most sites nowadays.

They updated it now

I didn't see anything in their status page [0] (yet). Not responding to pings either.

EDIT: status page now reflects the outage.

Pocket was very convenient to send random articles to my Kobo, which comes with a Pocket integration. Great for reading long blog posts and such, easier on the eyes. Will miss it.

Magic, thank you. Works, at least for now, until they mess up with the layout again. So much better...
