HOW THE FUCK DID THEY MANAGE IT AGAIN
Manjaro is the worst of the most popular distros.
oh my god AGAIN?!
They gotta be trolling the entire linux userbase at this point.
I thought this was an anniversary of a funny event that happened one time type of meme. But no. It has happened NINE TIMES, including today.
My first distro & my never again distro. Rest in piss, manjaro
some iconic duos in the Linux community: Arch and AUR malware, Ubuntu and bad updates, NixOS and community/team members leaving, Manjaro and failing to renew its cert.
Debian and shipping broken packages
Bruh what? I went to debian for server because of stability. It only updates like once a decade and still ships broken packages?
Its intended behavior from Debian team. because they ships a version of the software at the time and only backport security patches. So if the version they ship has bugs then those bugs stay for years. This generates quite a bit of noise for upstream projects but it is what it is.
it may be broken… but at least it’s stable
you forgot the oldest of them all, Debian and the its museum, their repos
Again??? Again???
At this point… Why aren’t Linux users tracking the certificate and notify them?
They actually do… He never does it, for some reason…
Why isn’t this an automated processs for them?
Why isn’t this an automated processs for them?
Because
manjaro.orgis controlled personally by Phil, the CEO of the company, who’s paranoid about letting anybody else handle it. And also can’t figure out how to renew automatically, apparently. People have to remind him on Discord. 🤦Everything else
*.manjaro.org(forums, mirrors etc.) is handled by different people and have never expired afaik.It’s literally just the main webpage that has this problem, everything else about the distro is never impacted.
The funniest thing about this is that it needs a single Bash script and a cronjob to solve (unless they got a REALLY bad hoster).
That bash script probably exists a bazillion times already… so even an LLM could spit it out for them.
Their organisational structure must be abhorrent for nobody to feel even remotely responsible for this.
Most web server have ACME support built-in nowadays, setup is a matter of minutes, no scripting required. This has been a solved problem for years, any sysadmin who can’t handle this basic task has no business running public-facing servers.
