We’re no longer using our old ftp, rsync, and git links for distributing OpenSSL. These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer. ftp://ftp.openssl.org and rsync://rsync.openssl.org are not available anymore. As of June 1, 2024, we’re also going to shut down https://ftp.openssl.org and git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git mirrors.
GitHub is becoming the main distributor of the OpenSSL releases.
I think “something goes wrong” is even MORE likely to happen on randomdude.com’s insecure git forge
Codeberg and SourceHut are not really randomdude.com’s insecure git forge. Both are doing development on their own services, and those services are not bad, like at all
Microsoft GitHub is riddled with bugs, is down at least once a month, & throttles non-Western IPs.
What bugs? Be specific…
Also, I can’t remember the last time Github has been offline for me (in the last 3.5 years of using it at work)
The one I ran into 2 days ago was a user approving a pull request while I was requesting their & other maintainers review. It canceled their approval & I had to fetch them to reapprove since in that project no-green-checkmark-no-merge. It should not have erased their approval.
I bet you live in the West. My daytime, there are heaps of outages.
