Sudo-humans is currently using nodejs 0.10.29, which was released 2014-06-09. This version was already pretty decrepit when I installed the server a year later: debian jessie, which was brand new in 2015, is now far past EOL, and cannot be updated. I doubt that anybody has even bothered to compile nodejs 0.10.x for newer OS versions. Nodesource goes back to 12.x (released 2019). So our options are: * do nothing, continue running outdated, unmaintainable server forever * migrate everything but sudo-humans, leave it running at humans.sudoroom.org, pay 2 VPS bills indefinitely * spend time and energy dockerizing the whole mess to run sandboxed on the new server * spend time and energy figuring out how to compile nodejs 0.10.x for newer debian * fix sudo-humans What's the plan, folks? A balloon payment of tech debt is now past due.

So the old instance is still accessible at https://humans.sudoroom.org/ and I set up redirects, but logging in is now broken. Trying to log in returns "not a POST". I believe this is because some urls are hard-coded. Even with redirects, my guess is it's triggering some csrf protection somewhere. I could be wrong. Both sudoroom and CCL use this thing to make money. This is serious. Help would be very appreciated. Meanwhile, substack made a valiant effort to get sudo-humans working with node 17.x. We got partway, at least the front page displays now, but it still crashes when you try to do anything. _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org
