This page reminds me of the old web. I kind of miss it, auto-playing MIDI songs and custom cursors and all. I'll take that over having to wade through Reddit 12 times out of 10.

Other than the colours being difficult to read, I really enjoy this webpage.

Now I want to go demake mine.

1. post link to jenkins job in a 4chan thread relating to something nefarious 2. see who clicks it 3. now you have IP addresses of possibly nefarious people without needing to subpoena 4chan Something like that.

How to waste your time tracking down 20000 wanna be script kiddies?

No, but having a list of easy targets to pull from when your performance quotas get low could be useful (I wish I was joking)

Who makes their Jenkins instance world accessible!

Who still uses Jenkins? It's an abomination of an obsolete system that is just a pain to use, manage, maintain, setup, etc. while there are much better, more featured, easier to use and maintain alternatives out there. And it has been like this for close to ten years now . It should have been ripped out in favour of either the "native" CI/CD (e.g. GitLab CI if GitLab is used for VCS, GitHub Actions if GitHub, etc.) o…

Why change something that mostly works fine? I don't like to change set of known issues for a set of unknowns.

Also those who want to avoid vendor lock in. Git repo might be moved around, do you like changing CI/CD scripts every time you change your git hosting service?

GHA work really well for simple stuff. For more complex in a larger organization there is no clear winner.

0 times out of ten for me. First I blocked the annoying cat, then I got to the bottom, was assaulted by blinking buttons and decided I didn’t need to know what else they were saying anyway.

You would not have enjoyed the late 90s.

As the creator was born in 1999, it's interesting to me because she's nostalgic for a period she did not fully experience. It's something I did, and it's neat yet strange to see it being done to a part of my past.

jenkins is old and crusty, but it works and works well. if the UI for a build tool looks too fancy, my faith in it drops to 0 almost immediately.

It doesn’t work well. It’s the JIRA of CI/CD: it is entrenched and does multiple things but doesn’t do any one thing well, and the people that decide what to buy aren’t the people who are forced to use it so they don’t care about its quality so much

Jira sucks, but I have yet to see a tracking tool which sucks less.

They were born in 1999, so it's more like what a new generation's impression of what the old web was like.
