The creator’s GitHub account is in limbo. He can see everything just normal, but for everyone else it’s just a 404. GitHub support is informed but unresponsive.
There is a Matrix chat where the creator posts updates (although there is not much to update): KitchenOwl
There is no reason to believe that the latest version available on Docker Hub (0.7.7) is compromised in any way. If you want to play it safe use 0.7.6 (3 months old).
Almost all of them affect authenticated users. The only ones that allow unauthenticated users access are for old versions. So to be honest: I am not that much concerned.
May I ask why you consider n8n risky?
Why would it break? There are tools out there that haven’t seen updates in decades and they still work mostly the same as they did when they were released.
If you have a chair or a table that is really wobbly you could use it to balance it out…
There is one old: Hit the road
Then 3 seasons of Telltale’s Sam and Max
And apparently there is a VR title as well…
You mean all one of them?
Although image generation like we have nowadays with the abundance of AI tools was maybe only thought of in the late 80s, it suffers from the same thing. A generated image can look technically perfect (no misaligned hands, strange architecture or broken texts), but you still can sense it is a generated image - even though the generation tool makes a different image every time. The same way an early replicator may have left some unnaturalness despite it producing a perfectly fine chocolate sundae.
I use chore-helper for Home Assistant for that. I chose it because I like the “after x days” vs. the classic “every x days” approach. If I forgot to clean the shower for over a week there is no point to have a reminder the next day after I finally did it, but I want it to happen x days later no matter how long I dragged the previous task.
It hasn’t received updates in ages though and can be quite slow and complicated to manage. I want to have a look in ChoreOps to replace it.
The basic workflow of network troubleshooting is:
You could use a classic dead man switch: Place several buttons around the whole place - basically everywhere except in the shower. Once you stop pressing any of these buttons for - let’s say - 30 seconds you can assume you’re taking a shower.
I wouldn’t say that GitHub is not stable. I hope we will learn what the reason was, I hope at least Tom will get to know what it was and I am sure he will take this into consideration.
Of course I cannot speak for him. My understanding is that he is considering this, but his priority at the moment is to find out and solve the reason for his shadowban on GitHub. Maybe he will move to another platform (I think Codeberg was mentioned once or twice), but changing the platform will no doubt result in additional work that needs to be planned as he is doing this in his spare time. The GitHub situation needs to be solved first as he needs this account also for work as I understand it.
