Going by the number of companies that still can't grasp having to pay for ongoing maintenance for and IoT system, even with CRA and NIS2, some still selling stuff running on 12+ year old software, I wouldn't expect them to pay much for this service or to even properly maintain it.

And unlike browser-based solutions, Typst can produce PDF/A, it can embed files into the PDF and it can produce charts and QR Codes on it's own without having to rely on an external solution.

Is this going to apply just to `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/:rest_of_the_url` endpoints, or also to the API-ish endpoints like `https://gitlab.com/:org/:repo/raw/HEAD/:path`?

Even something like Qwen 3.8 27b could do this.

A few years ago a service for which we had just implemented a scraper for (they had no API, and the customer needed info from 1000s of accounts) added a captcha right after we had implemented the scraper.

We quickly figured out that the server didn't validate the captcha challenge code with Google. It worked for 3 years until they changed the system to send a code via email to validate your login, and limiting you to 1 session at-a-time. Now we have different problems to deal with...

I don't get what they were trying to prove. An LLM on it's own, little time and money... what were they expecting it to do? Not that I expect that different conditions would necessarily improve the situation, but seriously they didn't even give it a chance.

"Make as much money as you can" sounds like the prompt someone out of school would give.

Meanwhile they spammed the internet, sent fake invoices and a bunch of other very annoying if not even possibly illegal things.

They confirmed on LinkedIn that they are working on it.

Also, they have a feature request that has been getting many votes recently: https://feature-request.scaleway.com/posts/1251/prompt-cachi...

Why do we still put up with GNOME?

I've spent the last 10 years off and on from Linux. Had I used something other than GNOME, I believe my experience would have been better.

I've been on KDE for the last 3-4 years and things work so well I could never imagine going back to GNOME.

There are many things they don't seem to understand about their own product.

The repo link goes to a 404 page.

The image could have been encoded with a high compression ratio, or even something like OxiPNG. In that case, while re-encoding it wouldn't lose quality, it could still have the side-effect of making the file bigger.

A few years ago I convinced a friend to make their blog using Ghost 4. Very bad decision. I haven't kept up with it but at the time they supported only 1 mailing list service. What kind of open source project does that kind of vendor lock-in to their users.

That's "easy" when all they have to do is to package https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux

I've had the same experience and I fixed part of the problem by writing my own Rust client, Watermelon. It's still missing a lot of features but at least I'm not blocked by weird decisions taken by upstream.

I'm also finding that this has happened already in the past and GitHub didn't cleanup the spam entirely, like: https://github.com/Xyntax/1000php/issues/1#issuecomment-2318...

Before this event, I've has another encounter with GitHub. What happened is that an AI coding assistance startup seemed to have created bots that would:

1. find new GitHub issues on random repos

2. fork the repo

3. make a commit, trying to implement whatever was requested in the issue

4. reply to the issue with a link to the commit, indemnifying themselves of the code quality, and linking to their platform

I reported a few of those issues to GitHub. To me, the problem seemed almost obvious:

1. they were using sketchy GitHub usernames

2. there was evidence of similar replies having been mass-deleted in the past

3. some of the issues also seemed to have been opened by sketchy users

GitHub took a few days to reply and didn't seem to understand how bad the situation was, and basically allowed them to continue. I don't expect to have to spend a lot of time writing an elaborate "criminal case" to convince GitHub that they are allowing their platform to be abused by these bots.

Amazing work! This is the first time I've seen this kind of issue fixed so quickly.

GitHub should learn from this.

`curl https://myip.wtf/json` too is nice to use when debugging things

Same for Rust. In the short term we're trying to solve it on the user's side with https://crates.io/crates/cargo-goggles, but in the long term the registry should probably do it.

Could you provide an example?

It means they protect themselves from layer 3 and 4 DDoS. For layer 7 you're mostly on your own. That's what most companies mean when they talk about DDoS anyway.

This is the reason I've never used all of these user-facing serverless services. The price depends on the usage, but if anything goes wrong they are the ones to decide what you pay. It's not comfortable thinking that you could screw up, or get DDoS'd, and the remedy is hoping they wave the bill.

Certificates can be issued for IPs too, CAs don't usually do it though.

According to the documentation[1] Kafka is just one of the supported inputs for ingestion, so it should be possible to run Quickwit without it if you're not intending to write logs into Kafka. Jaeger also seems like another optional dependency. Same also probably for Zookeeper?
