cdn.o.o provides bad mirror to SE USA
by Felix Miata 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Originally I sent the following to mirrors(a)lists.opensuse.org, but I'm now getting messages directly from various mirrors (kernel.org & tenet.ac.za so far) as a consequence. I don't know how to tell which one is the problem, but I did a TW zypper ref using baseurl=http://cdn.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss instead of baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss and the proposal included openSUSE-release 20240223 instead of 20240225. Switching repo file to the latter and another ref got me 20240225. This was not the first time cdn was feeding me oldies. I'm in FL and often find European mirrors are better performers e.g. for fetching .isos but not infrequently noticing sluggishness during ups & dups with both Leap and TW/Slowroll. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

New Github Actions at "openSUSE/salt" repository
by Pablo Suárez Hernández 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Hi there, this is just a friendly notification to inform you that we have enabled a couple of new GitHub actions workflows at "openSUSE/salt" repository. We have currently 8 workflows running on each new Pull Request (a few more workflows may come soon), but we don't usually have too many incoming PRs, so you should not expect too much resources eaten by this repo. As we know the resources for openSUSE Github account may be limited, this is just for you to be aware that we are making use of some of these resources. I hope we are not close to reach the limits! Have a nice day! Cheers, Pablo

ISP maintenance in Prague
by Georg Pfuetzenreuter 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hi, SUSE will conduct a scheduled outage on 23/02/2024, starting at 23:00 CET, lasting approximately one hour. During this time, all openSUSE services hosted in Prague might briefly not be reachable over IPv4, while failover to a secondary internet service provider occur. Connectivity over IPv6 is not affected. Georg

We are getting spam via HyperKitty
by Carlos 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hi, We are getting spam through. They are gmail addresses entering via HyperKitty (3 today). Example attached, on factory(a)lists.opensuse.org I suggest to remove the web interface on HyperKitty, or remove the permit to identify via gmail, or put it under moderation (I did the later on the users-es(a)lists.opensuse.org mail list).

Reminder: Heroes meeting on Thursday
by Christian Boltz 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Hello, the next heroes meeting will be on Thursday (2024-02-01) at 19:00 UTC / 20:00 CET in https://meet.opensuse.org/heroes So far, the meeting ticket https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/153131 only lists the usual topics. Feel free to add whatever you want to discuss ;-) Note: I have another appointment earlier that day with unknown duration, therefore I'm not sure if I can join the heroes meeting. If I can't join, have a lot of fun nevertheless! Regards, Christian Boltz -- If this bug is indeed "invalid" then let's hope for SUSE support that SLES users don't get this update ;-) [Stefan Seyfried in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1166786]

IPv6 routing issue in Provo
by Georg Pfuetzenreuter 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Hi, since about 15 minutes our hosts in Provo can no longer reach the internet over IPv6, and similarly inbound traffic does no longer arrive over IPv6. IPv4 continues to work, hence it does not seem to affect many public facing services. I noticed this issues since our monitoring tries to reach hosts over IPv6, so alerts for every VM in Provo started to come in. ;-) I forwarded the issue and will update status.o.o once it is resolved.

Hi, none of the people in this thread maintain Jitsi. Was my suggestion to coordinate this project with real Jitsi/meet.o.o operators which I posted as a reply to this thread on 12/21/23 followed up on? It would make much more sense to target such questions to the right people directly - and to generally bring these people in the loop about this sponsorship to mitigate awkward situations in case of issues during the event.

Re: openSUSE sponsoring Creative Freedom Summit by hosting in its Jitsi
by Douglas DeMaio 17 Jan '24

Hi Marie, Unfortunately I don't have access to the Jitsi server. I know there is an option to stream to youtube in settings. But that would require a channel setup on youtube. I haven't seen a star live stream option. I'm including the heroes team and marco as they might be able to help. Tomorrow evening we have a meeting at 20:00 UTC. I'll see if there is something we can do if anyone here isn't able to help. meet.opensuse.org/creative-freedom-summit-backstage v/r Doug On Wed, Jan 17, 2024 at 4:29 PM Marie Nordin <mariecnordin(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Doug, > > Checking in as we are going to test the live stream setup for the event > platform today, we noticed that the Jitsi link you provided doesn't have a > "Start live stream" option under the settings for the room.
