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.

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 like a distro with problems that I can relate to.
Bad memory/routines? We have to be related. Since that feels like me.
HOW THE FUCK DID THEY MANAGE IT AGAIN
They managed this again by not actually managing it... again.
They have embraced the meme

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.
AUR malware
Really, something like this ever happened lol?
I'm sure it has. The idea that it's frequent is unhinged.
And @rotten@lemmy.today
Wait...please tell me y'all heard of that crazy drama recently where there was tons of AUR packages getting infostealer malware added in.
They got a lot more cautious after that incident but... I'm less keen on the AUR now...

Welcome to Linux, do you want the BenevolentDictatorOS, WeaponsManifaturerOS, MalwareOS or Debian?
WeaponsManufacturerOS is Nix, obviously (they've since dropped Anduril as a sponsor but we're never going to let them live it down), MalwareOS I'm guessing is Arch, but what's BenevolentDictatorOS?
Ubuntu and bad updates
This is the only drama in your list I'm not familiar with already. What/when did they last break?

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.
Yeah, caddy automatically renews certs by default, as does traefik as far as i can tell, and certbot installs a timer for this.
Nginx as well

Manjaro once again demonstrating they're not a serious distro/project, hahaha
At this point, it's a tradition!
Iβm shocked it even has any users tbh.
Well, Manjaro popped up when a lot of people cannot install Arch on their own. Same thing with Ubuntu and Debian. Once a userbase formed, people follow suit I guess.

A little stability and consistency in the world, manjaro always delivers when it comes to this.
Like, when you... "get" the certificate... Doesn't it say... "on it" exactly which date it expires? So maybe set a thing in your calendar or an alarm on your phone or some shit? How hard can this be?
LetsEncrypt also gives you a month to update certificate, you don't even have to do it yourself, just run a script once a week in cron. That's such a level of incompetence I wonder why anyone will trust them with a distro when they can't even do such a simple task.

This is literally why I stopped using Manjaro.
Iβve botched 2 Manjaro installs just doing a pacman -Syu while their certs were expired and I ended up with an incomplete upgrade.
Never once had this issue with EndeavorOS.

Seems fine for me now. In fact it looks like they switched to Let's Encrypt for certification so maybe they learned something from last time.
Perhaps the looming prospect of having to do it every 47 days was enough.
Wait, again?
Holy shit this is so stupid I can't defend them anymore ππ
Yep... Validation of my decision to cachyos after my last drive needed surgery.
