Do you think any infrastructure is pulling that often while unauthenticated? It seems like an easy fix either way (in my admittedly non devops opinion)

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 10 points 14 hours ago

It's gonna be problematic in particular for organisations with larger offices. If you've got hundreds of devs/sysadmins under the same public IP address, those 60 requests/hour are shared between them.

Basically, I expect unauthenticated pulls to not anymore be possible at my day job, which means repos hosted on GitHub become a pain.

Quite frankly, companies shouldn't be pulling Willy nilly from github or npm, etc anyway. It's trivial to set up something to cache repos or artifacts, etc. Plus it guards against being down when github is down, etc.

Ah yeah that’s right, I didn’t consider large offices. I can definitely see how that’d be a problem

Same problem for CGNAT users

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

If I’m using Ansible or something to pull images it might get that high.

Of course the fix is to pull it once and copy the files over, but I could see this breaking prod for folks who didn’t write it that way in the first place
