If you are seeing 301s logged on your end that is your site redirecting to another one.
There isn’t a way to see what a referring site did to do the redirect (301 or 302 or even a js redirect) in your logs. All you’ll see is (potentially) the Referer http header.
I had the exact same experience when I tried to contribute last week. I had to jump between multiple sessions and browsers and eventually managed to log in after about 30 minutes of trying. There is no indication of what is going right or wrong. Once you're in the UI changes very little as well so it's quite easy to miss that you've managed to log in.
Once I was logged in I spent another 45 minutes trying to find a document to transcribe. Every single one I found or was given from a challenge had either already been transcribed or was a typewritten document or manifest that the OCR had already done an OK job with. I reviewed a few documents for accuracy, closed the browser, and never went back.
It's a shame it's so hard to use. I really was hoping for something I could pop open for 15-30 minutes a day as a break from work and contribute to instead of doing a crossword or watching a video.
The drawknife is the safer of the two by far. It’s fairly hard to cut yourself when your whole body is moving the same direction. Similar to using a paring knife in your palm facing your thumb.
The adz however you just have to have good aim or pay the consequences!
Take a look at php-fpm. It works with all the major servers and let’s them do what they do best and offloads the php requests to php when needed. It also has better caching and overall performance than mod_php since it’s a long running daemon.

Yeah unfortunately the weight and size of those systems is prohibitive for most light aircraft. Plus catalytic converters and oxygen sensors for closed loop efi can’t be used with leaded fuel.
> They are 60's or maybe 80's car engines that are still made since nobody in GA wants to pay for better ones.
The Lycoming and continental engines in most of the fleet were certified in the early 50s. A few were in the early 60s. That means they were designed in the 40s and 50s!
The S54 absolutely had rod bearing issues. There was a recall on the 2001-2003.5 M3s to replace them and BMW switched to 60w oil as part of the remediation. They’re still having issues to this day.
The S54 is also notorious for VANOS issues and cam drive failures. I had to replace the solenoid pack on mine but elected to not upgrade the drive while I was in there.
And I’m pretty sure this is where CSS preprocessors were born, right around the time of CoffeeScript and the inevitability of the web being a compilation target.
That approach will mitigate your machine getting compromised (which is good) but it won't fix your production machines getting compromised if the gem or package gets deployed. That is usually a much worse outcome.
And even in isolated environments I find myself running code outside of the container for testing. Usually a quick script to test some package's functionality or opening a REPL to run something or running a code-generator (manage.py, artisan, etc). That's all it takes for the malware to break out of the isolation and attack your machine.
Is there any fix at all? Aside from something like multiple-account code signing/release verification I cannot think of something that couldn't be compromised in some way.
At the end of the day you have to trust someone and trust that they trust someone else. The problem is you have no way of vetting the entire dependency chain. You may have reviewed gem/package A but you aren't going to (realistically) review all of its dependencies and those dependencies' dependencies.
At this point it's all a "many eyes" approach. And it seems to be working relatively effectively.
I'd debate the relatively effective piece in light of webmin being backdoored for a year, and of course remember we're only hearing about the ones that have been found, not the ones that haven't.
There's a number of possible technical mitigations, maintaining internal package repositories, code review of key libraries, enforcing package signing and checking signatures etc but all of them increase costs and decrease development speed, so they're not adopted that heavily.
There are also possible mitigations at a legislative/policy level, but they would be so deeply unpopular that I'm sure they'd never pass muster in most countries.
Linus's Law (given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow) has never rang true to me. I've been using free software since '95.
Taken at face value, then yes, obviously more people looking at a specific piece of code will make it better. But this does not extend to the entire landscape of open source. Most developers, especially ones doing so as a hobby, would much rather work on their own new code. Not look at someone else's old boring code. We would rather reinvent the wheel a thousand times before touching a line of code written by someone else.
This becomes even more dire when you look at code no one wants to touch. Like TLS. There were the Heartbleed and goto fail bugs which existed for, IIRC, a few years before they were discovered. Not surprising, because TLS code is generally some of the worst code on the planet to stare at all day.
Lyme disease is no joke. My neighbor's son found out he had Lyme after being mis-diagnosed with (I think) MS. He was losing motor function, one eye started to go blind, and he was chronically tired. He made a full recovery after being diagnosed but that was several years taken from a person in their early 20s.
I believe I had some sort of tick-borne bacterial illness as well. I felt a scratch on my ankle and found a small tick. I didn't think anything about it and threw it in the toilet. A few days later I started losing concentration, almost feeling out of body. I'd find myself not remembering what I was doing or how I got there. I couldn't read. I would stop mid conversation unable to remember what I was saying. After a week I went to the doctor and Lyme came back negative. Another week passed and he gave me an antibiotic and it cleared up in a few days. It may have been psychosomatic but I have never experienced anything like it before or since. The mark on my ankle has taken almost three years to heal.
My girlfriend was recently possibly diagnosed with MS. I say possibly because the doctor isn't confident - he put it at about 75% likely it's MS - but has no other answers to her symptoms which include numbness that started in her feet and eventually went up to her thighs that lasted for ~2 weeks, as well Barber's Chair Syndrome, and Retinal Vasculitis.
All 3 symptoms have since faded away, and the MRI's weren't conclusive enough to say it was MS, so the doctor is at a loss and working to get her set up with more tests.
What's interesting is she found a tick on her about a year ago, but the Lyme results came back negative. It may be MS but the doctor seems to have enough doubt that I've often wondered if it might be Lyme or something else.
There is currently no reliable Lyme test. The most commonly used test has an accuracy and sensitivity of 50 %. Worthless. A tick bite + weird symptoms = very high change it's caused by a tickborne disease.
The CDC says, "When performed and interpreted in accordance with current guidelines, 2-tiered serologic analysis has a sensitivity of ≈70%–100% and a specificity >95% for disseminated Lyme disease." [https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/syn/en/article/22/7/15-1694.htm]
FWIW it's not technically MS until there's been more than one incident, thus "multiple" in the name. The resultant lesions are usually visible on an MRI. Most people who have one incident to not go on to have multiple.
There's no definitive test other than this: multiple incidents of otherwise-unexplained neural compromise, verified by MRI as lesions on the myelin sheath. MS symptoms are readily addresses by steroids, unlike other similar conditions, so that can also be somewhat diagnostic.
So regardless of how good or skilled your doctor is, some uncertainty is inherent in the disease. That makes distinguishing it from other conditions difficult. If any symptoms recur consider seeing a specialist neurologist.
Thanks for the info. These incidents have all been since the tick bite, but none have overlapped (other than the Barbers Chair syndrome and numbness in her legs...one of which kind of set on toward the end of the other). The MRI's saw some lesions, but they didn't seem to be enough for the doctor to be confident. He did consult with another Neurologist in his office who looked at the MRIs and was 100% confident in the diagnosis, but he wasn't willing to go that far.
Living in DC I guess we're fortunate to be so close to NIH because he is having her visit some MS specialist at NIH which will also include access to better/more reliable MRI equipment. It's been an ongoing process to even get enrolled in the study, but we finally have an appointment for next month so we'll see what happens.
14% of chronic Lyme patients report being initially misdiagnosed with MS and roughly 2% are misdiagnosed with other neurologic diseases, like ALS, Parkinson’s and Multiple systems atrophy.
Not the OP, but my experience with Lyme 25+ years ago in New Jersey was similar. I took oral and IV antibiotics over multiple years. The antibiotics I recall taking are Claforan, Ceftin, Augmentin, Penicillin, Ampicillin, Rocephin, Doxycycline, Azithromycin.
While my symptoms would often improve during/after a course of IV antibiotics, they would always return. I don't ever recall thinking that one of them was what cured me. It was more like the symptoms gradually tapered off over years. I do, however, credit my MD's willingness to aggressively treat the symptoms with my eventual recovery.
Interestingly, both my MD and his wife (also an MD) had Lyme, as did at least one of their children. My advice to people who think they have Lyme is to seek out a physician that has experience in treating Lyme and a willingness to do so. At the time, there was a lot of pressure in the medical community to simply give two weeks of oral doxycycline and then tell the patient that they have to live with whatever remains.
These are the two that sound familiar to me. Doxycycline in particular.
The bite was ~3 years ago for me. I still have the mark on my ankle. It was red and raised until about 6 months ago. Now it just looks like a faint bit of scar tissue.
> I took oral and IV antibiotics over multiple years.
This is not a standard or reasonable treatment for Lyme. Antibiotics will kill it in a standard course. It sucks that you still had issues afterwards. Did they do additional blood tests?
I do not. It was one of the generic broad-spectrum antibiotics. One of those "take two then take one daily" if I remember correctly.
The doctor I went to was equally perplexed. He basically said "you never go to the doctor but you're here. I don't think you have lyme but I don't know what you have. I'll give you an antibiotic and see if it helps."
Brand name for azithromyclin, similar to doxycycline. Both are antibiotics used for a wide variety of conditions where bacteria are known or suspected.
Azithromycin and doxycycline are completely different chemicals; the former is a macrolide, the latter is a tetracycline. Both are used for Lyme (and various other infections).
Sounds like you had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, I had the same symptoms and my doctor immediately put me on antibiotics. A few weeks later my blood tests came back with traces amounts of RMSF. It was the worst I've ever felt.
