Bit clickbait. tldr: ffmpeg used it in their github actions, which pulls from gmp. They also use 100 builds to do simultaneous testing. Forks also run the actions, and it all pounds the gmp servers.

I’ve only recently setup my own lemmy instance, to test new stuff, fix a few things, whatever. Something like this would prevent me from federating with the content I want to see, and I’d have to go try and be buddies with a trusted instance admin to get endorsed?

I think this may be something we want to discuss more as a community, and see what better solutions might be out there
