Guys with Github accounts please support the guy from Yandex for trying to host our repos!
Yandex provides a major mirror for many linux repos in Russia and eastern Europe.
Checkout what they host here https://mirror.yandex.ru/
We need to let them know that they do it not for a single person on the Earth, ok? 
Please give your likes and hearts here:
Do not really understand whatâs going on there, but is there any security risk? Hope Yandex will only mirror some Haikuâs stuff?
Yes, thatâs the plan. Yandex officially hosts repos of many linux distros as well as freebsd. So being hosted there is a big thing for us. Hopefully we get there.
Ok, thank you for your answer. Haiku matures
Is it only the disc image downloads, or also the complete repository of packages?
Iâm a bit uncomfortable with the latter because we donât have any kind of package signing in place. So you have to completely trust them to never change the packages, and never let anyone else hack their servers to do it.
The risk is probably low, but it would be better to try to do things right hereâŚ
For linux distros itâs both.
I think theyâre trustworthy enough. And we can improve the security by signing the repo later.
Vorsicht ist besser als Nachsicht.
Is there a reason to take that risk other than âslightly less load on out serversâ?
Everyone can make their own choice. We are not taking down the existing repositories (which are also hosted somewhere not invulnerable to attack anywayâŚ). Now you can chose who you trust more 
/ whichever has faster peering to your place to get fast downloads (if you trust everyone)
Yandex is a great alternative to (evil and greedy) Google.
Not only that itâs alternative, but itâs better in many ways ⌠especially at this time weâre in and all of the censorship.
You can find much more info searching Yandex, than you can if you âGoogleâ something.
I wonât derail this thread, just wanted to ask if you have an example of what search term shows that censoring when comparing Yandex and Google.
I know Yandex only by the fact that Yandex Browser is one of the least privacy friendly browsers with Edge and ChromeâŚ

I would not get fooled. I am not implying anything behind Yandex,
but there are several examples of where corporations worked together
when it is against The People anyway, as long as this yields more profit.
See Microsoft using the adChromium base. Simply donât trust ANY
company - what they do is outside of your control. To assume that
one is âless evilâ may be correct but is still a naive assumption to
do, IMO.
On topic: I think itâs perfectly fine to have more host opportunities.
Sometimes Github (which is Microsoft) had outages; yes, itâs
usually not for long but you can see this happen in the past,
always yielding hilarious reddit discussions.
Donât trust any people or group of people either (for example the community on this forum or the Haiku developers). Build your own house. Create your own computer. Write your own operating system. Then maybe youâll be safe.
I canât remember exactly which term I used ⌠but on Yandex I was able to find a lot more info related to electronics (especially Teslaâs experiments and inventions for example).
Yandex is also much better with image search ⌠if Google doesnât want you to see something, you wonât see it lol
And also ⌠what sucks about Googleâs search is that it will only give results specific to the country (unless you change settings, but even then itâs not that much better).
Google is most definitely involved in censorship, as is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
getting us back on topic. We had truenetwork.ru things in Russia for R1/beta3.
My current plans involve trying to fix the issues with IPv6-only outbound hosts being able to access our rsync repos. Today we have limitations in our docker configuration which make opening rsync to IPv6-only hosts not possible.
Itâs purely a technical limitation within Docker Swarm.
