After some unknown action on your server has silently deleted most repo/wiki directories for a group (~git/git-data/repositories/$group/$project.git), how do I tell it that I have restored the data from my hourly backups?

Currently it shows “The repository for this project does not exist”.

Honestly, it looks like something tried to delete the entire group and aborted 2/3 of the way through.

Update

Ah, the answer is gitlab-rake cache:clear; now, about how they were deleted in the first place…

Missed this when it came out.

I think journalists are offended by “learn to code” because they’re too busy showing off their mastery of CODEC: Crying Over Dead-End Careers.

On an iPad Mini 4 under iOS 12.1.3, Mobile Safari crashes every few minutes. I really hope you already know this…

Update

Oh, I see, it’s the same old “crash after iCloud history is cleared” problem, being triggered more often because desktop Safari is now obeying the “Remove history items” preference more reliably.

File under peculiar the fact that neither his IMDB nor Wikipedia entries mentions Christian Kane’s short-lived cooking show, Kane’s Kitchen.

An oldie but goodie, this is a perfect example of why your agency should have stuck with the “mildly talented but cute” look for Morning Musume. Trying to get them to look “edgy” just did not work. Turtle and Wonky manage some rudimentary steam, but Jun-jun just looks confused, Ai-chan and Sayummy look like their makeup is covering bruises from recent abuse, and Satan is seeking approval that will never come.

Given the recent news about large dumps of user-account data from various hacked sites, I downloaded the full list of records for my mail email domain from HaveIBeenPwned, and found nothing new and interesting. Just the adobe, linkedin, kickstarter, and dropbox hacks from several years ago.

Oddly, none of the email addresses used by Honor Hacker and friends in attempts to extort bitcoin show up in their DB, even though one of those was actually a legit closed account (I briefly had a Livejournal account for commenting, with a unique name and strong password, and the “hacker” included the correct password).

The amusing one was that the “Onliner Spambot” collection from 2017 had a confirmed hit for user “xoratmusoqxee” at my domain. That one doesn’t even show up in my spam, despite being at least as plausible as “hand04”, “quinones12”, “bain66”, “Donnell4Stark”, or the ever-popular “ekgknmfylvtl” (seriously, my spam folder gets daily messages directed to that username, all of them in Japanese).
