Oh fun, this is a proper layer 7 attack, I may need to learn the git HTTP protocol at some point.
SourcewareThere is a distributed attack on our git over https service. Lots of git clone https://sourceware.org/git/... https://cygwin.com/git/... and https://gcc.gnu.org/git/... from lots of different ip addresses.
For now we have disabled git-http-backend.
Please use either the git:// or ssh:// protocol to clone the git repos.
gitweb and cgit are still functioning. But this does break builder.sourceware.org buildbots and forge.sourceware.org mirroring.
Suggestions to block these git clone bots welcome.

Xe :verified:Diffusion models are a kabbalistic miracle of math. At the core, theyβre just incredibly advanced denoising systems, formally known as Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs), e.g. Stable Diffusion and DALLE-2.During training, the model is shown hundreds of millions of images paired with text descriptions. To teach it how to "clean up" noisy images, we intentionally add random noise to each training image. The modelβs job is to learn how to reverse it using the text prompt as a guide for where and how to remove the noise.When you generate an image, the model performs this process in reverse. It starts with a latent space of pure random noise and gradually subtracts more and more noise with each diffusion step. It's synthesizing an image from scratch by removing all of the noise until the image remains, organizing the chaos into whatever you asked it to generate.

Xe :verified:Ideally, I'd like to see libc get ported to another more sane programming language, but that take would get me pilloried by neckbeards that insist that C is possible to write safely.
At least I don't have to be pager bitch for THIS time when the entire internet broke due to C.
Xe :verified:the syslog() function in glibc has a buffer overflow that lets attackers get root. it's had it SINCE FUCKING 1993. FOR MY ENTIRE TIME ON THIS PLANET.
When will enough be fucking enough and we ban the writing of new programs in C from an industry standards level?
