- sarciszewski 12y agoOn a scale of 1-10, this registers a solid 7 on my personal rustle-meter. Especially since I have friends in Russia who do open source work on Github :(
- rabbyte 12y agoAm I wrong in thinking this only adds 1 step to your friends workflow given that git is decentralized?
- ClashTheBunny 12y agoMaybe this is a problem with GitHub. Too much re-centralization of the git protocol. How many people ever learned how to use git without GitHub?
- pwenzel 12y agoAnyone who used svn before switching to git!
- lambda 12y agoYeah, this is the problem with people centralizing on GitHub. But anyhow, just set up a mirror at BitBucket or Gitorious, and have them push to one of those for pull requests.
- __xtrimsky 12y agoSmall question, git noob here. The comments that we see on github (outside of the commit messages), are these comments stored on github, or is it something git related. Logically I would think the comments are just an extra layer added by github, but theoritically git could have comments also decentralized and stored, this is why I'm asking.
- dllthomas 12y agoComments and tickets on github are github only.
- ClashTheBunny 12y agoUnless you [backed up](https://github.com/joeyh/github-backup https://github.com/joeyh/github-backup)!
- ihateloggingin 12y agoDo see the "limitations" section: github-backup is repository-focused. It does not try to back up other information from GitHub. In particular, social network stuff, like users who are following you, is not backed up. github-backup does not log into GitHub, so it cannot backup private repositories. Notes added to commits and lines of code don't get backed up yet. There is only recently API support for this. The labels that can be added to issues and milestones are not backed up. Neither are the hooks. They could be, but don't seem important enough for the extra work involved. Yell if you need them.
- ClashTheBunny 12y agoSo, it backs up most of everything, just a couple of the deeply commented stuff doesn't work. All issues for example get backed up. It feels more like it back "most" things up and leaves out only a couple of things.
- lambda 12y agoYeah, the comments are an extra layer added by GitHub, and not stored in the repo itself. You're right that it would be possible to also decentralize the comments, but that's not how GitHub does it, they just store those on their own, and there's no part of Git that is explicitly built for storing code review comments, you would need to add something on top using the "note" system or something similar.
- NDFA 12y agoThat text is already on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/w2trsdef3/trapapa https://bitbucket.org/w2trsdef3/trapapa Streisand effect is in place.
- ancarda 12y agoNicer formatting: The requested address is blacklisted Blacklisting Authorization Date Blacklisting Authorization Number Blacklisting Decision Maker Blacklisting Date 24.03.2014 4138 Роспотребнадзор 02.10.2014 Is there anything we can do about this?
- __xtrimsky 12y agoGoogle Translate says the Decision Maker is CPS (Child Protective Services). So it's most likely just a mistake.
- depth_breadth 12y agoРоспотребнадзор actually translates to Consumer Protection Services.
- __xtrimsky 12y agook thank you. I actually mostly know russian, but that word made no sense to me.
- depth_breadth 12y agoI know Bulgarian, which is similar. Роспотрепнадзор derives from Russia (Россия) Consumer (Потребител) Supervision (Надзор).
- gtrubetskoy 12y agoI think "decision maker" means they are acting on some sort of a complaint/request. Rospotrebnadzor ("Ros" - Russia, "Potreb" - Consumer or Consumption, "Nadzor" - Oversight) is simply the government org whose responsibilities include blacklisting. There is no way to tell from that website what led to this decision as far as I can tell.
- dkns 12y agoWhat does this mean exactly? You can no longer access github.com from within Russian territory?
- gtrubetskoy 12y agoI think it means that ISPs are obligated to abide by this ruling and probably have some reasonable amount of time to adjust their filters. It may be accessible now, but won't be in a day or two.
- Someone1234 12y agoLame that they blocked it, nice that they readily admit blocking it. Wish the UK would do this with their great firewall, they have mistakenly blocked things too may times.
- DanBC 12y agoDo you have any examples of things mistakenly blocked?
- Someone1234 12y agoWikipedia, Reddit, Imgur, et al. They often are only blocked for hours at a time but it is still heavily disruptive.
- DanBC 12y agoWas the whole domain blocked or the individual resource? They all seem like examples of things that English law would block - mostly images of child sexual abuse or images of human-animal sex. If someone is blocking all of WP and not the individual problem page then yes, that is stupid and annoying and I agree with you.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoI don't understand why or how the роспотребнадзор is responsible for this.
- osipov 12y agoDon't panic. It turns out that someone committed a text file with instructions on how to commit suicide and then reported him/herself to the Russian oversight agency. Typical bureaucratic stupidity. This will be unblocked shortly.
- rev 12y agoExactly. Only a few regional ISPs have been blocking GitHub for a short amount of time.
- BuildTheRobots 12y agoDon't suppose you have a mirror of what was posted? I'm kinda intrigued...

- ClashTheBunny 12y agoNot https://github.com/l29ah/objidlib/commit/e9c31e97c0ca7863516fa6e21c9f6441453d9149 https://github.com/l29ah/objidlib/commit/e9c31e97c0ca7863516... ?

- pietro 12y agoI just tried and got "The requested IP address is not blacklisted".
- pkrs 12y agoSeems that it was banned because of this commit about suicide https://github.com/amdf/objidlib/commit/e9c31e97c0ca7863516fa6e21c9f6441453d9149 https://github.com/amdf/objidlib/commit/e9c31e97c0ca7863516f... Based on the previous experience if github reacts in any way this will probably get resolved sometime in the future.
- peterwaller 12y agoAs of now that project doesn't appear to exist.

- ClashTheBunny 12y agoGreat, now that site's totally going to be taken down...
- danabramov 12y agoThe suicide methods listed in this commit include "stick pencils in your nose and hit the table". Clearly we as citizens shouldn't know that. http://i.imgur.com/OLDgdiX.png http://i.imgur.com/OLDgdiX.png

- taybin 12y agoalso "Turn Yourself Into Hydrogen Bomb" and "Nanomachines"
- dolphin278 12y agoIt was removed from blacklist few minutes ago.
- gtrubetskoy 12y agoYep, indeed - http://eais.rkn.gov.ru/en/#form http://eais.rkn.gov.ru/en/#form no longer shows it.
- dang 12y agoThanks; we changed the title accordingly.
- ioquatix 12y agoWhat's the chance the blacklist administration code is hosted on github?
- Gonzih 12y agoHm, so there is basically easy way to use filters to block any website (at least temporary) for the Russian segment of the Internet? I don't see how it might go wrong.
- ClashTheBunny 12y agoHere's an interesting problem. The person who committed the text file about suicide has a .ua domain in their GitHub Profile; would this be a specific way to troll Russia if you're Ukrainian? Just start finding important sites and post stuff on there that are legal everywhere but Russia? Not that March 23 is that good of turnaround for Russia to get it blocked when they can unblock it in a couple of hours.

- dleskov 12y agoJust want to make one thing clear: in this particular case the request was to block a specific URI. It is the (smaller) ISPs that do not have a technology to block an URI and the (bigger) ISPs that do not bother to employ that tech who block entire sites by IP addresses.
- splix 12y ago1. was blocked by large countrywide ISPs, like Beeline and Domru 2. Github uses SSL, and there is no way to block specific URI under https:// https://
- drinchev 12y agoI'm not sure, so I ask. Who is blocking those IP Address and from who are they blocked?
