Hi, unless you are living in a place without any internet (a igloo in Antartica, the middle of the Gobi desert, a bunker in Switzerland or simply the Paris underground train), you may have seen the news that this week is again a security nightmare (also called "just a normal Wednesday" among practitioners ), and that we have important kernel patch to push, that do requiers a reboot.
See https://spectreattack.com/ While I suspect our infra will not be targeted and there is more venue to attack on local computers and browsers who are the one running proprietary random code in form of JS on a regular basis, we still have to upgrade everything to be sure. Therefor, I am gonna have to reboot all the infra (yes, the 83 servers), minus the few servers I already did reboot (because in HA, or not customer facing) tomorrow. I will block jenkins, and wait for the jobs to be finished before rebooting the various servers. I will send a email tomorrow once the reboot start (e.g., when/if I wake up), and another one things are good (or if stuff broke in a horrible fashion too, as it happened today). If there is some precaution or anything to take, people have around 24h to voice their concerns. Also, please make sure to upgrade your computer, and turn 2FA for github. -- Michael Scherer Sysadmin, Community Infrastructure and Platform, OSAS
