Still using spaceship. lmao.

To the surprise of absolutely no one. Tends to happen when you cultivate one of the most tixic online spaces on the net. I’ve never asked a question on SO, but just the verbiage used to accost people just trying to learn is just insane. Mods don’t really care about post content as long as its not perceived as “hostile,” so you can be generally as passive aggressive and shitty as you want. It’s just…weird.

You can find especially viperis content when you find a question which has been answered, but someone is just like “Well, this isn’t the way that I do it!” etc, and then go on a tirade about how the question was asked poorly and the answer doesn’t completely answer the question.

Shit is just wild.

This was the winning argument for my boss for migrating to a modern server.

Exceptionally good news! Glad it’s working out. Be sure to make a new post when you decide what you go with, I’m sure people here would enjoy hearing about your approach.

That’s a huge wall of text to still entirely miss the point.

So then it makes sense that you didn’t read it where I very specifically and intentionally touch the subjects you speak about.

If you’re not going to read what people reply, then don’t even bother throwing your opinion around. Just makes you look like an idiot tbh.

Obviously, they monetize Codeberg because they’re providing a service. That monetization feeds Forgejo development. They could also sell official support for people hosting their own instances of Forgejo. This is a very common thing that open source companies do…

This is literally what I said in my original post. Free products must monetize, as they get larger they have to continue to monetize more and more because development and infrastructure costs continue to climb…and you budged in as if this somehow doesn’t apply to Forgejo and then literally listed examples of why it does. I mean, Jesus my guy.

You are claiming Forgejo will do this.

I’m claiming that it is a virtual certainty of the age of technology that we live in that popular free products (like Github) eventually balloon into sizes which are unmanageable while maintaining a completely free model (especially without restriction), which then proceed to get even more popular at which time they have to find new revenue streams or die.

It’s what’s happened with Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime Video, Discord, Reddit, Emby, MongoDB, just about any CMS CRM or forum software, and is currently happening to Plex, I mean the list is quite literally endless. You could list any large software company that provides a free or mostly free product and you’ll find a commercial product that they use to fund future development because their products become so popular and so difficult/costly to maintain they were forced into a monetization model to continue development.

Why you think Forgejo is the only exception to this natural evolution is beyond my understanding.

I’m fully aware of the difference between Codeberg and Forgejo. And Forgejo is a product and its exceptionally costly to build and maintain. Costs which will continue to rise as it has to change over time to suit more and more user needs. People seem to heavily imply that free products cost nothing to build, which is just insane.

I’ve been a FOSS developer for 25 years and a tech PM for almost 20. I speak with a little bit of authority here because it’s my literal wheelhouse.

This is my opinion on it, too. Everyone is crying about the death of Github when they’re just cutting back on unauthenticated requests to curb abuse… lol seems pretty standard practice to me.

Probably the funniest linux meme I’ve seen in a few years. Nice.

That’s a very accurate statement which has absolutely nothing to do with what I’ve said. Fact of the matter stands, is that those who generally seek to use a Github alternative do so because they dislike Microsoft or closed source platforms. Which is great, but those platforms with hosted instances see an overwhelmingly significant portion of users who visit because they choose not to selfhost. It’s a lifecycle.

1. Create cool software for free
2. Cool software gets popular
3. Release new features and improve free software
4. Lots of users use your cool software
5. Running software becomes expensive, monetize
6. Software becomes even more popular, single stream monetization no longer possible
7. Monetize more
8. Get more popular
9. Monetize more

By step 30 you’re selling everyone’s data and pushing resource restrictions because it’s expensive to run a popular service that’s generally free. That doesn’t change simply because people can selfhost if they want.

Until there will be.

I think people are grossly underestimating the sheer size and significance of the issue at hand. Forgejo will very likely eventually get to the same point Github is at right now, and will have to employ some of the same safeguards.

Then login.

That’s low enough that it may cause problems for a lot of infrastructure.

Likely the point. If you need more, get an API key.

Directly from the developer:

iVentoy and Ventoy are two completely different softwares and have no shared files.

You seem to be implying that because iVentoy (which is not Ventoy) is vulnerable to this attack then that means that Ventoy is also vulnerable which is not only highly speculative, it remains to be seen.

Actually, when iVentoy boot Windows through PXE, it will boot the WinPE with test mode, so there is no need for the driver file to be signed. So httpdisk_sig.sys is actually not needed and can be removed later.

The dev goes on to explain;

the httpdisk driver will be installed only in the temporary WinPE environment (running in the RAM), not the final Windows system

The driver is singularly used in the PE environment. That’s it.

Is this a security issue? Sure. Is it as bad as everyone wants to make it out to be? Not really. From start to finish the Ventoy fever people seem to be getting by unsigned blobs is simply insane. Its a bout of hysteria and it’s not impressive at all.

For some languages gender-neutral pronouns aren’t possible or aren’t appropriate. It’s really only in English and maybe five other languages that gender-neutral pronouns are a real thing and even in these languages if you’re not used to using neutral pronouns or reading them in common writing sounds like a mistake to begin with. It’s generally just easier to automate the task based on names, and the library itself comes from a time when that wasn’t a controversial thought. Lol

All the stackoverflow answers lead to - its complex. read a 2000 page book.

This is an exceptionally good answer and you’re doing everything possible to avoid doing it, when you could have been half way done with the book by now probably. Database administration is a profession, not a job. It requires specialized training to do it well and doing everything possible to avoid that training and knowledge won’t help you one bit.

my queries are not that complex.

It doesn’t matter. Your database is very complex.

they simply go through the whole table to identify any duplicates

You search 10 million records on every request and you wonder why it’s slow?

is there a wizard move to bypass any of my restriction or is a change in the setup and algorithm inevitable?

No. Database administration is very difficult. Reading that 2000 page book is essential for setting up infrastructure to avoid a monolithic setup like this in the first place.

the other culprit is that our server runs on a HDD which is with 150mb read and write per second probably on its edge.

lol wtf

Realistically, this setup is 10 years too old. How large is your database? Is there any reason why it can’t be run in memory? 10 million lines isn’t insurmountable. Full text with a moderate number of tables could be ~10GB–no reason that can’t be run in memory with Redis or other in-memory database or to update to a more modern in-memory database solution like Dice.

Your biggest problem is the lack of deduplication and normalization in your database design. If it’s not fixed now, it’ll simply get worse YOY until it’s unusable. Either spend the time and money now, or spend even more time and money later to fix it. 🤷‍♂️

tl;dr: RTFM.

It’s a maintenance process which preloads essential office files into memory for usage when you launch the different Microsoft applications so their startup time is reduced as well.

OfficeClickToRun.exe is years and years old. This isn’t a new thing at all.

be alpine linux

copy bootloader from the installer to ESP usb drive

load entire OS from bootloader to RAM

lbu commit, save changes to bootloader

378mb fully loaded to RAM

Linux. Hard disk optional.

lmao

Then, anyone in the world can verify your signed statement using your public key.

Of course. The only barrier is the possession of your public key. I really don’t understand what you’re getting at here. Anyone with your public key can verify a PSK signed statement you made, which obviously is predicated on them having access to the key.

Anyone only has access to your public key if you give them access to your public key. So no, not really. They should have access to it. It’s not something you should keep private, but SSH shared keys aren’t PGP shared keys. There’s no key servers for SSH shared keys.
