![Comic. Thought Process While Reading A Big Number: 54,000,000,000,000,000,000,0000,0000,054,000"000,00c2ef46
[comments progress along the line, approximately every 3 digits] (1) 54! Great! I know that number. Solid start. (2) Oh, a comma and some zeros. Cool. Must be at least 54 thousand. (3) A second comma! I wonder if we’re talking population or money. (4) Yikes! If this is money, it’s a *lot* of money. (5) Why am I reading this? Whatever this number is, I’m not going to be able to visualize it. (6) All right, either someone made a unit conversion error or this is one of those incomprehensible astronomy numbers. (7) [4 zeroes between commas instead of 3]] Oh no. Is this a misplaced comma or an extra zero? I guess we’ll see if the next group has two zeros or three. If it’s two, we can at least hope the digits are right. (8) [4 zeroes between commas] Oh *no*. (9) [repeat of the digits 54] What is happening. (10) [a quotation mark in place of comma] Someone messed up real bad. (11) [final digits are c2ef46, cut off] Someone messed up real bad and I hope it wasn’t me.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreih3hirktm65hdw44t573arldaizpyect42tpkiochyewbagbj5gh4@jpeg)

Parts of the Alpine Linux infra (CI) has been unreliable recently. It has remined me of how valuable the parts that works are, and how valuable the Linode/Akamai sponsoring is for Alpine Linux. They have been incredible stable and reliable.
Thank you!

if you are on #alpinelinux edge, you can now `apk add apk-tools3@testing` to install apk3 as system-wide apk (or just `apk add apk-tools3` if you don't mask the testing repo)

Jeg slo av en hyggelig prat med Alpine Linux-skaperen Natanael Copa. Nå trenger han hjelp, etter at hostingleverandøren deres legger ned "bare metal"-tjenestene sine. @ncopa.bsky.social

We've gotten to the point that people get angry at projects that fix potential vulnerabilities, because the security scanner they use reports it as a false positive when not even using the affected package.
Yell at your vendor! Or, govulncheck is RIGHT THERE.

If you are upgrading your #alpinelinux please pay attention if ifupdown-ng-openrc is uninstalled:
(1/53) Purging ifupdown-ng-openrc (0.12.1-r3)
If that happens, then please run `apk fix openrc`, or you may not have network next reboot.
