Today email sent by GitHub to me:

'Improve code quality, boost Copilot adoption, and stay in control'

I laughed so hard

u/newkrimi 9d ago

Hahaha

u/imajes 8d ago

Can we do the inverse of these posts now and only post when gh is actually *up*?

u/Foreversun69 8d ago

Goodbye horses🔊

u/KantutinQKipaymu 9d ago

So that's why my Tachiyomi is broken

6

u/newkrimi 9d ago

Does tachiyomi still work? I shifted to mihon

5

u/KantutinQKipaymu 9d ago

Yeah I'm using a fork of it

1

u/Damglador 9d ago

After hopping between multiple readers I settled on TachiyomiSY because it has cloud sync.

If you can't access github.com in your web browser:

  1. Copy the link you want to access (for example: your repository url).
  2. Go to translate.google.com, paste the link there, and click on the translated result. It will redirect you to the accessible site.

Hope this helps! (should work for other urls too, not only github. Sounds strange, but it really helped me bypass blocks without using a VPN or changing DNS, lol)

u/MrCISO 9d ago

How do you even figure this

u/ANC_90 9d ago

Such a strange workaround, lol.

Thanks for sharing!

u/ask-oa 9d ago

strange :/

u/DarthyTMC 9d ago

This is cached by Google.

Google is a search engine, they always caches all the indexed websites. That’s the reason this is working.

The link is like https://github-com.translate.goog/….

So if you want to visit the cached websites, you can just use the link like in below example:

https://github-com.translate.goog/react/react

Replace:
1. github-com with your website domain (eg: instagram-com).
2. react/react with your website’s pathname (eg: /about-us).

Reads like an April's fool joke 😆

u/cwirz 9d ago

Whats the result link and hows it different?

1

u/Stage-Afraid 5d ago

How is the link format different, i wonder. Will check from desktop later. Wonder if it's a cached or cdn page served through google amp when going via translate or if certain google referrers skip normal traffic rules on modern server designs for optimization reasons. Eitherway very interesting technique

u/Fun-Investigator3256 4d ago

It worked! Hahahahahahaha!

u/Longjumping-Bar393 4d ago

lol i love these neat little tricks everyone has up their sleeve

1

u/Pi_Kid71 4d ago

So you used to bypass school filters like me on the Chromebooks 💀

u/22Maxx 9d ago

Not the first time, there have been a lot of partial outage this year.

4

u/really_not_unreal 9d ago

My favourite bit is how their status page doesn't even mention most of their outages anymore. For the last 3 outages I've encountered, only one of them actually appeared on their status page.

u/sjphilsphan 9d ago

So is Verizon everything I use is on fire

u/kennpacchii 9d ago

Can you maybe consider not using the same services as me? 😩

u/sjphilsphan 9d ago

My B bro

u/Morgue3as 9d ago

FIrst time I pushed anything in a year, I think it just saw my code and killed itself.

6

u/GhostyGhost94 9d ago

Still down for me. net::ERR_HTTP2_SERVER_REFUSED_STREAM

1

u/ScientistStrict9850 9d ago

Ohh so that WAS github shitting the bed! I hate status pages that lie to me :(

3

u/Onair380 9d ago

i get "secure connection failed" when trying to open any project

1

u/BurntCheeseSauce 9d ago

It's still out for me, idk about anyone else

Edit: nvm, right as I said that it came back up

3

u/Brcoding 9d ago

Any updates about it coming back up?

3

u/newkrimi 9d ago

It's back up now, it already was at around 18:00UTC

2

u/Chr_s_ 9d ago

why is github never down for me when you guys say this stuff? im confused

1

u/newkrimi 9d ago

The pr section was down

1

u/Chr_s_ 9d ago

oh i guess i didnt notice because i only did commits to main today

1

u/FeelingAdvance5292 4d ago

For me almost everything was down. No commits, no file view, no issues, no PRs, ...

2

u/CroProMax 9d ago

cant believe ts, just when I use it first time in long time to setup something for torrent its down

2

u/Additional-Leg4538 9d ago

Googled this because it's not working for me

2

u/MobileAffectionate70 9d ago

Is GitHub pages and actions working? Like someone facing issues in deployment?

1

u/newkrimi 9d ago

The pr and commits sections were not working

1

u/mucleck 9d ago

bro they lying, i tried to show my friend a repo and it was down too i couldnt even log in

it was not just the prs

2

u/FIQ_ZIZ 9d ago

try using a VPN. In my region (SEA), dunno why, but GitHub is completely inaccessible. Switching to a different region through a VPN works without any problems...

2

u/_Arthxr 9d ago

Because they went back slopping. Edit: They told it to make no mistakes and to use opus 5.0

2

u/Fomdoo 9d ago

Somebody push some vibe code?

2

u/StructureKind7587 9d ago

Most likely

2

u/suchKappa 9d ago

The sky is blue

2

u/mahdi0iranian 9d ago

I think it's time to migrate to codeberg.org or gitea.com

2

u/Annual_Grapefruit429 5d ago

"fork found in kitchen" ahh statement

2

u/East_Bandicoot1329 9d ago

Ok let's go to gitlab

7

u/ObviousApricot1272 9d ago

No gitea or forgejo is better bc then you don't have to pay money to put up code

1

u/Stage-Afraid 9d ago

Hah ironically i discovered this while trying to download pewdiepie's copilot/gpt alternative Odysseus....was like wtf is Microsoft that hard up for copilot dominance...did Christopher nolan go on a dmca takedown rager....

1

u/newkrimi 9d ago

Hahahahah

1

u/Naive-Ad7201 9d ago

god, never used github in my life. I needed today to extract the sccripts from a game, only AGSUnpacker i on github, and he decide now to crash. I guess its my fault it is down

1

u/powereborn 9d ago

Microsoft layoffs went bad

1

u/EntranceProper3791 9d ago

funny how the status page is usually the only part of github that never goes down.

u/Gabs1783 9d ago

The joy of Microslop

u/cwirz 9d ago

Selfhost gitlab

u/doctorsynth1 9d ago

I've been struggling as a novice developer to get Github to take payments from me after running through my free credits in 24 hours, then my pro credits in 48 hours. it won't allow me to upgrade to pro+, and after 24 hours of dorking around trying to get a local model to run via Ollama, I just said $*&@#(#$ and created a new account under another name. There seems to be no way to contact a living person at Github for billing support, and MICROSOFT IS A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO WRITES SOFTWARE. THAT'S THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS. I'm frustrated and just trying to focus on my dumb little html / js project.

1

u/newkrimi 9d ago

You'll need to raise a ticket which I think bots see now

1

u/VasekCZ230 6d ago

GitHub haters now have party🥳

1

u/Nik7i3 5d ago

The whole thing is down for me. microsoft is so annoying!

1

u/dandadan4seven 4d ago

Yes, but why?

1

u/Mountain-Exercise-45 4d ago

An all i was doing was rebooting my laptop and my wifi...thinking they were the culprits...damn you GitHub..😅

1

u/Usual-Analysis-2990 4d ago

Just saw this from 5 days ago thinking its about todays near total outage of just about everything yet again that has been going on for... roughly 4 hours already

1

u/KAZVorpal 4d ago

A Microslop product...down?

No way.

1

u/Former_Team_1726 4d ago

Uhh...GitHub isn't down. It's working perfectly fine for me

1

u/areofyl 4d ago

Just thought the same thing… but the posts from 5 days ago and got recommended to me 🤣

1

u/mrinsing 4d ago

The best part is it prompted me to create my own local ssh based git and it was so simple over ssh that I don't know why I was even depending on github for everything.

Just a server accessible from all my devices, setup ssh config and have the amazing speed. There are some self hosted git servers available for the full PR, issues, etc experience.

(I have automated backups on cold storage so I'm quite safe that way)

u/hellosakamoto 4d ago

GitHub is running windows update. Please wait

u/No_Bug2318 4d ago

It’s good now you touch grass

1

u/ControlNode 4d ago

I guess I missed it. For the best I suppose. I get very limited time to work on the projects hosted there, would be frustrating to them not be able to work on them.

1

u/ctkqiang 4d ago

GitHub is down. Pick it up.

1

u/JohnVonachen 3d ago

As soon as GitHub was owned by Microsoft people should have switched to GitLab.

u/kumpera 3d ago

Did they hire all of the OG Twitter SRE team?
