Wayland & Xorg GitLab Vanished For A Day Here's Why

For a day the Linux desktop effectively halted when the Freedesktop gitlab decided to die for a day due to a problem that anybody out there can face, whether you're running a personal system or a massive server cluster a bit of faulty hardware.

Remember most of the people running these services are volunteers, it's ok to not have uptime.

[iodreamify]

Probably wouldn't even know this had happened. So thanks for the news and the detailed explanation!

Wanted to update my newest findings on a Pipewire issue I filed and already wondered what's going on :D

[jackt-zm]

Can you make a video explaining Freedesktop more in-depth? Thanks Brodie.

I didn't know this had happened, but it definitely could have affected Gentoo (and its variants) users, since it is a true source based distro with a few packages here and there. Portage ebuilds pull code tarballs directly from source repos, but only when the packages is actively being updated.

do we know which brand and model of ssd failed here? were they the same as each other and from a similae dom / batch number?

[act..]

I have stood there looking at an array with two dead drives at the same time, wondering what are we going to do as step one? It's not a good feeling.

[bogdahn]

I'm surprise by this issue with ceph, it would be intresting to have details about it...

[ottolehikoinen]

So the main server between developers and distro-maintainers was out. End users might not have noticed this at all, like me. Could be a bigger deal if the same happened during Windows updates. That of course wouldnt be reported in a YouTube video.

Dayum
I literally just fell asleep for 8 hours and woke up to this happening

[PinakiGuptaAppu]

Wouldn't it be nice to have GIT repositories distributed over TOR networks with a limited amount of well-maintained robust servers spread across countries as backup buffers adhering to a common protocol such as Gitea? Things would have been much easier.

I don't know how you stay on top of these things. Are you subscribed to a bunch of lists?

[transberg]

Chad Luke Smith is a better and more knowledgeable Linux user than Brodie Robertson in every way. Here is a list of accomplishments of Luke:

-Luke is a self-taught Linux user who has been using the operating system for over 10 years.

-Luke is the founder and administrator of the popular Linux forum Ubuntu Forums.

-Luke is the author of the book "Linux for Dummies."
