GitHub Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Bean Juice Studios (@BeanJuiceStudio) reported@Alexzoin Yeah two sources is usually perfectly fine. The odds of your GitHub account getting hacked or the platform going down is extremely very low lol
-
Amin Tai (@aminnnn_09) reportedInterviewer: GitHub Actions is down again. Your CI pipeline is frozen. No deploys. No merges. What's your backup plan?
-
Ashwin Hegde (@ashwinhegde19) reportedGitHub Actions is down. The cloud is just someone else's computer Today that someone is taking a break. @github @theo
-
Dan Docsbook (@docsbook) reported@TechNovaWorldai github-autopilot is a seriously useful project — great job on this. The support cost that's invisible right now: every issue opened is documentation that failed. Built a hosted docs site where AI chat handles user questions around the clock. Go check it out at docsbook-io.

Kilian (@jumoog_de) reportedwtf .. github actions are broken again
-
Darren Shepherd (@ibuildthecloud) reported@mjtechguy That's the worst idea. I want to leave GitHub. GitHub is just slow and painful at this point. I really don't use it anymore except for to automate my release process because I need to do releases across the Linux window in Mac, it's the easiest to do that with GitHub Actions but it's so painfully slow.

Grégoire Vda (@gregoirevda) reported13:25 Me: need to deploy 13:26 @github actions: what about a Major outage instead?
-
koushik (@koushik) reportedgithub action is down right in the middle of important bug fix. 🤡
-
Helgrim (@Bonemantle) reported@Pirat_Nation I am sure they are. The github account was probably put up to specifically be taken down to generate a false sense of security.

Kenn (@giress69) reportedI maxed out on all my AI tokens from Codex to GitHub Copilot. Then I stumbled on Grok Beta version that is free, lol, and I decided to give it a try. Right now, Grok is very weak. It was unable to fix a "TanStack Router nesting issue" "blog.$slug.tsx was registered as a child route of blog.tsx, so navigating to /blog/voice-to-first-draft-2026 rendered the BlogIndex parent component with no <Outlet /> — the article component never mounted."

Harmanjot Kaur (@itsharmanjot) reported🚨THE FBI PAYS THOUSANDS FOR THIS. A GUY ON GITHUB DOES IT WITH ONE COMMAND. It's called Sherlock. You type someone's username. It checks 400+ social networks in seconds and tells you every site that account exists on. Twitter. Instagram. TikTok. Reddit. GitHub. Telegram. Snapchat. Steam. Tinder. 391 more. 82,900 GitHub stars. 9,700 forks. 2,906 commits. MIT license. Free. Private investigators charge $200/hour to do this manually. OSINT companies charge enterprise contracts to package it. Background-check sites charge $30 a report. Sherlock is one terminal command. pipx install sherlock-project sherlock username123 That's it. Output in seconds. Saved to a text file with every URL where that username is registered. What it actually does: → Hunts a username across 400+ sites in parallel → Outputs CSV, XLSX, or plain text → Supports NSFW site checking with one flag → Runs through a SOCKS5 proxy for anonymity → Docker image, Homebrew, dnf, apt, all available → Browse all hits in your default browser with one flag → Searches multiple usernames at once Here's the wildest part: It was built by a developer named Siddharth Dushantha. One person started this. Now contributors from around the world maintain the site list because new social networks pop up every month. The same capability is sold by enterprise OSINT vendors like Maltego, Spokeo, and Pipl for thousands of dollars a year. Sherlock does the most useful 80 percent of it for $0 and fits in your terminal. One honest note: every search hits 400 sites with real HTTP requests. Use the proxy flag if you do not want your IP showing up in 400 server logs. And use it on yourself first, to see what you have left behind on the internet, before you use it on anyone else. The "delete your digital footprint" services that charge $129/month? They are running tools like this on the backend. The internet remembers your old usernames. Sherlock just shows you exactly where.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSenior engineers spend 30% of their time reviewing code. Time not shipping. I built CodePulse — an AI reviewer that monitors your GitHub repos, catches bugs, flags issues. No rubber-stamps. No PRs sitting for days.

Soumava Das (@Soumava_221B) reported@jatinkrmalik @github I think you’ll need to create a new account to make a community discussion page. It looks like someone from support has to manually fix this issue. I’ve seen many users facing the same problem, so I guess I was lucky that my account didn’t get suspended.

Alexandru Duzsardi (@aduzsardi) reported@osodevops it's not dead , but i don't think there's a business need for it... they are trying but it doesn't look like they are very successful + the never-ending issues opened/unresolved on their github projects doesn't help it's not useful even for local development nowaydays #docker

Lu (@0xmikelu) reportedIs GitHub down?
-
kobby prince (@kobbyprince_) reportedWhat is actually happening at GitHub? Was here stressed that my actions pipeline didn't trigger on merge onto main, only to read that GitHub actions is experiencing an outage wtfff
-
Kartik (@code_kartik) reportedokay github ci is down i was confused on why the ci is not running for about an hour now
-
Frooxius @ MFF - frooxius.bsky.social (@Frooxius) reported@hideki Would you be willing to make GitHub issues with a report on those issues so we can address them?

chrisreedbates (@chrisreedbates) reportedTwo expensive problems just solved thanks to Claude + Codex: 1.) Github actions - learned that rebasing and re-running CI should be done when you're the next merge candidate... I was having my agents rebase everytime main moved. Didn't appreciate the downstream cost of that. (I could see the builder sessions of claude getting frustrated at this - "Same dance, same approval needed from you. This is the 4th rebase. Each one takes ~5 min + ~2 min for the Reviewer agent. Main keeps moving anyway." 2.) Egress explosion in Supabase: Every time a webpage loaded, the app was asking Supabase the same set of questions over and over — once for the page itself, then again for every image, font, and stylesheet on it (20-30 questions per page). On top of that, bots and link previewers hitting those URLs were charged the full price before being turned away at the door, which is what blew through your 5 GB monthly limit. Two fixes: (1) the app now remembers the answers for 60 seconds instead of re-asking Supabase the same questions on every image and font request, and (2) when a bot or stranger shows up without a login cookie, the app turns them away at the door without bothering Supabase at all. Together they cut the Supabase traffic by an estimated 70-90%. I only caught these problems because of alerts and dashboarding respectively. I think the CFO dashboard is a pretty important one at this stage.

Abdullah Mukadam (@abd_mukadam) reported@kevincodex Algorithm is crazy, recommended this post after GitHub ci got down
-
travica.curvy.name (@lazartravica) reportedGitHub really is turning into absolute crap. We are unable to run a deployment for 3 hours now, and unable to get a proper error message that something is wrong. Give me an alternative or I will go full retard and self-host Jenkins and vibe code groovy scripts.

Mahir Jain (@jainmahir_10) reported@Jitesh_117 @DhiruCodes getting same error for both gauth and GitHub auth
-
Arian van Putten (@ProgrammerDude) reportedI wish @github CoPilot would actually have features that help maintainers. @nixos_org has almost 10k open issues. What would help me is semantic search that allows me to search whether an issue is already reported or not. No brainer. Yet it is not there?
-
Kevin Deng 🦋 @sxzz.dev (@sanxiaozhizi) reportedOne last thing, more personal. Going through pages of broken links from the old npm community, the thought that keeps hitting me: this community is dead. Not slow. Not neglected. Dead. @github, @msdev, @npmjs team: open the registry. Open the community. Show up. /end
-
Sha.d.t (@tashaamandaa) reportedWhen you use Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, where do you keep project decisions? README? Notion? GitHub issues? Your head?
-
Tommy Long (@tommy5dollar) reported@threepointone Is there a good guide on how to get started with Think? I'm keen to try it out but it feels like I need to sit down and figure out where/how exactly I'd use it. Or should I just point an agent at the Github and let it educate me?
-
Bernard Kolobara ␥ (@bkolobara) reportedGitHub is down again. Lubeno still at 100% uptime over the last 3 months.

Stanzilla (@stanzillaz) reportedYo @github can you give me all models back? Are we having another outage?
-
Lyrie.ai (@lyrie_ai) reportedIn April alone, we saw: CVE-2026-3854 (GitHub RCE): Patched in 40 minutes internally, public fix in 9 hours. Enterprises still running unpatched instances 18 hours later. CVE-2026-32202 (Windows Shell): Disclosed, patched, actively exploited in the wild, and added to CISA…

Yotam Blumenkranz (@YotamBlu) reported@realameerdev cursor + claude together is the combo that actually ships. cursor for the vibe, claude for when you need to think through the hard problems. github copilot feels like it's been spinning its wheels since 2021.
