Is anyone except me concerned that getmonero site uses CloudFlare? CF have been sketchy lately: youtube.com/watch?v=8zj7ei5Egk8

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sech1 I'm not too much into conspiracy but I too feel like cloudflare is a liability

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> but we're already using several other highly centralized services (github and netlify)

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> So, unless we decide to switch those services too, there are not much sense at removing cloudflare, for the website at least

as for github, there is a backup gitlab instance with Monero repositories

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Yes, I would honestly prefer the monero project to just switch over their own repository but I agree with the sentiment that users will be too lazy to create an account and report issues

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> over their own gitlabi instance*

I don't see the main Monero repo there though repo.getmonero.org/users/monero-project/projects

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> maybe it was never backup

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i guess several trusted members have mirror

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> (I have one)

Anyone who cloned the repo, has it up until some point in time. It's how git works, right?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Yes. If you want the new commits you need to fetch

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Tho I've a private gitlab instance and I just mirrored monero repo, so gitlab automatically (6 hours iirc) fetch new commits and branches

core team pays for a service that backs up github

afaik there were also a couple CCS that tried to back things up but the people behind it vanished (plowsof do you remember the details?)

"moneroarchive" who scammed us for 1 monero lol

We have a community member Arkal (4rkal) hosting a copy of the github repo. Funded via kuno iirc

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Lmao I can make one for free

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> oh good if Arkal already do one

More info on the moneroarchive scam plowsof/ccs-wip-list #2

Sech1 should we enable a backup on our gitlab instance?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> If you do, would you mind backing up Cuprate was well?

Im in the 'we dont need any unofficial back up that wont be trusted if we actually needed it anyway.. we'd ask the handful of.monero devs / trusted contribs with local gits'

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> not sure they fetched metadata of all branches tho

Issues / comments / emojis from github on the other hand

tbh I don't fetch Monero repo that often. Maybe once a week

So my local copy is outdated most of the time

Your xmrig/p2pool archive points are maxed out though

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> wait sech1 coded xmrig?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> ah you're just the second contributor alr

Sech1 "the asic bricker"

the xmrig author is anonymous and he controls xmrig website and github repo. But yes, I did a lot of XMRig coding
