|
|
<p>if you’re a mastodon user on <a href="https://tilde.zone">tilde.zone</a> (the tildeverse
|
|
mastodon instance), you might’ve noticed some downtime recently.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>here’s a quick recap of what went down during the upgrade process.</p>

|
|
<p>changing git's default branch name has come up recently as an easy action
|
|
we can take to update our language and remove harmful ideas from our daily
|
|
usage.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i'm concerned that this effort to change the language used is ultimately a
|
|
symbolic gesture to avoid scrutiny into actual change (notably github's
|
|
push for this change and continued contracts with ICE).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>however, it's an easy change to make.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>let's have a look at how to change it for new repos:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>mkdir -p ~/.config/git/template
|
|
echo "ref: refs/head/main" ~/.config/git/template/HEAD
|
|
git config --global init.templateDir ~/.config/git/template
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>note that you can put this template dir anywhere you like.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>you can also set this system-wide (not just for your user)
|
|
in /usr/share, but note that this might get overriden by
|
|
package updates.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>echo "ref: refs/head/main" | sudo tee /usr/share/git-core/templates/HEAD
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>the next time you <code>git init</code>, you'll be on a branch named main.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>to change an existing repo, you can use the <code>-m</code> switch of <code>git-branch</code>:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>git checkout master
|
|
git branch -m master main
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>push with <code>-u</code> to your remote if needed and update the default branch in the
|
|
repo settings in the hosting platform of choice.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>it's a relatively easy change, but don't kid yourself that it makes any real
|
|
impact. go protest, <a href="
|
|
https://blacklivesmatter.carrd.co/">donate and sign petitions</a>, and get out there to fix the actual problems.</p>

<p>it's been quite a long time since i posted anything here on this blog.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>i've been playing with <a href="https://github.com/xe/gruvbox-css">gruvbox-css</a>,
|

decided to switch my blog to use it and finally realized it's been almost
|
|
a year since i posted anything at all.</p>
|
|

<p>i don't have anything in particular to post today so i figured it would

be good to give a general update since the last time i posted.</p>

<p>after the <a href="november-13-post-mortem.html">fiasco</a> earlier this week, i've been taking steps to minimize
|
|
the impact if tilde.team were to go down. it's still a large spof (single-point-of-failure), but i'm reasonably certain that at least the irc net will remain up and functional in the event of another outage. </p>

<p>we had something of an outage on november 13, 2018 on tilde.team. </p>
|

|
|
<p>i awoke, not suspecting anything to be amiss. as soon as i logged in to check my email and irc mentions, it became clear.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>tilde.team was at the least inaccessible, and at the worst, down completely. according the message in my inbox, there hade been an attempted "attack" from my IP.</p>
