Got an error when pushing a relatively large commit to GitLab: error: RPC failed; HTTP 502 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 502
There was no big difference in information between these commands¹:

A lot of GitLab pages links and Git pushing a relatively large commit to GitLab: “error: RPC failed; HTTP 502 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 502”

The GitLab.com risk of having “Inactive project deletion” disabled and “Delayed project deletion” enabled
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/27
After the 2022 GitLab.com backlash* to auto-delete “inactive” (for whichever metric of “inactive”) repositories of free users, I thought they would have multiple checks in place to prevent that from happening.
TL;DR: of two possible checks to prevent this, only one is in place.
This means that if by accident one of those checks stops working, all inactive repositories will be be deleted after a 7 day retention period. Which is very short, especially when you miss the email about it (for instance because of holiday or health reasons).
That bad!
How/why I found out

Stack Overflow’s forum is dead thanks to AI, but the company’s still kicking… thanks to AI – Sherwood News (and a few links on SEDE – Stack Exchange Data Explorer)
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/26
Interesting article: [Wayback/Archive] Stack Overflow’s forum is dead thanks to AI, but the company’s still kicking… thanks to AI – Sherwood News. with this important quote:
The complex questions still get asked on Stack because there’s no other place. If the LLMs are only as good as the data, which is typically human curated, we’re one of the best places for that, if not the best for technology.
I wonder about how far it has declined now, and also think these are reasons for the decline as well:
- a lot of fundamental questions for each topic have already been asked
- few new programming languages gained popularity over the last decade (I think golang was the last major one)
- discussions on GitHub and to a lesser extent GitLab have taken over a lot of traffic
- toxic behaviours on mainly the Stack overflow and meta site I mentioned in The toxic reactions to “What would be good alternatives to Stack Overflow for questions about software solutions to drive hardware? – Meta Stack Overflow”
Anyway, the graph in that post is just a sexy version of a query you can create yourself on the SEDE (Stack Exchange Data Explorer). That’s why I included both below.

Arjen Lentz Crystal Ball Vulnerability Prediction: A Wizard’s Guide to Foreseeing the Unseen: NLUUG voorjaarsconferentie, 7 mei 2026, Arjen Lentz over de echte root cause van veel CVE’s en hoe die te fixen
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/04
Ook vandaag even een herinnering aan de NLUUG voorjaarsconferentie 2026 van (komende) donderdag 7 2026 mei in het Van der Valk Hotel Utrecht¹.
Deze keer omdat een goede vriend van me daar spreekt. Arjen Lentz heeft het over A Wizard’s Guide to Foreseeing the Unseen.
Dat klinkt misschien vaag, het concrete resultaat is dat je met analyse van CVE’s veel te weten komt over hun echte root cause. Die blijkt verrassend voorspelbaar, is fixbaar, en kennis daarover is niet alleen nuttig voor adversaries. Het kan jou namelijk helpen bij de development en selectie van wat je zelf gebruikt.
Het volledige programma staat hieronder², eerst de aankondiging van [Wayback/Archive] L⭕️rd Quux RCX CCX: “Over een week is het zover! De enige NLUUG conferentie van 2026. …” – Mastodon

Dare Obasanjo: “GitHub … How many other services are painting a far rosier picture than reality on their service status pages?” – mas.to
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/30
Last 90 days uptime on 20260427 of the GitHub Platform: 87.25%
Because of two alternative GitHub status pages, a lot of people now realise that GitHub gives a rosier result than the official pages.
April uptime not even had one nine, dropping below 89%.
Which begs this interesting question

Importing a repository with GitHub Importer – GitHub Docs
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/20
Via [Wayback/Archive] Importing a repository with GitHub Importer – GitHub Docs I found [Wayback/Archive] Import repository · GitHub which can import from Subversion, Mercurial, TFVC, and Git as per [Wayback/Archive] About GitHub Importer – GitHub Docs.
Note this will import the repository, but not any surrounding things (like tickets/issues, wiki, etc).
In that sense, the more than 10 year old [Wayback/Archive] SourceForge: GitHub Project Importer as documented in [Wayback/Archive] SourceForge Support / Documentation / GitHub Importer does a way better job the other way around.
If you want to import more than just a repository into GitHub, then some inspiration is at [Wayback/Archive] Migrate from Sourceforge to Github – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Matthew Talbert, [Wayback/Archive] Masood Khaari, [Wayback/Archive] Thomas and [Wayback/Archive] Sergey Ponomarev) for instance with these tools:
- [Wayback/Archive] ttencate/sf2github: A Python script to migrate projects from SourceForge to GitHub; currently very immature and incomplete.
- [Wayback/Archive] cmungall/gosf2github: migrates tickets to GH from SF
Especially the last one is interesting as it allows you to separate tickets from repository import. This opens up the opportunity to do the svn to git conversion yourself and keep that conversion in place to you can use it to sync incoming svn changes towards the git repository.
The above does not cover CVS. For that, be sure to read these:
- [Wayback/Archive] import a sourceforge project (with full history) to github
- [Wayback/Archive] version control – Migrate from CVS to Git without losing history – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Ahmed Alaa and [Wayback/Archive] rubo77)
Via [Wayback/Archive] import sourceforge into github – Google Search.

The mastodon boop sounds are called boop and were created by Josef Kenny
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/24
You can find the binary files sound files of the Mastodon beep sound at
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/raw/refs/heads/main/public/sounds/boop.mp3
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/raw/refs/heads/main/public/sounds/boop.ogg
They were created by [Wayback/Archive] Josef Kenny (blog: [Wayback/Archive] josef.one; Mastodon “i made that mastodon boop sound”: [Wayback/Archive] josef (@jk@mastodon.social) – Mastodon) early 2017 and updated with metadata later that year. In 2022 it became clear that using the sound is allowed as long as there is credit:

During a Cloudflare outage¹, I learned about [Wayback/Archive] Wisp.place Documentation | Wisp.place Docs
Decentralized static site hosting on the AT Protocol.
Wisp.place enables you to host static websites directly in your AT Protocol repository. Your Personal Data Server (PDS) holds the cryptographically signed manifest and files as the authoritative source of truth, while hosting services index and serve them with CDN-like performance.
