    @github Most likely why your CORE services went down, is because of all the AI crap your rolling out.

    @Tech2Wild @SamJWasserman . . . Two DGX Sparks. DeepSeek V4 Flash at FULL 1M context + 1.47M KV pool, serving agents" 👆 This is the reason you're going to have difficulty getting people interested in open-source and thus bring down the costs. That "sentence" is an upside down scrabble board. It's flexing to your geek club with the secret handshake meeting in the basement of your mom's house. That sentence doesn't tell a story of the fantastic meal. it merely lists the ingredients. I say all this, because history is about to repeat itself. Years ago there was this technology called Linux. it was actually an incredible bit of tech, (open source at the time), but the geeks and nerds made it seem like Rocket Science and so most folks steered away from it. Rather than racing to the front of the room with the "tell" portion of your "Show and Tell" try this. Most people are driven to the "Show" portion and then once intrigued want to know the story. Except for a handful of people, everything in that sentence means nothing. Some of it is impressive, some of it is results, some of it is bi-passing hurdles and challenges, and none of it tells the story of why that sentence in incredible. The same approach is used on GitHub. You arrive, and are directed to a wall of text, and a 1000 files, of which most do not apply to you or your project. Even listing parts and pieces, needs a proper story telling: ------ What is fantastic about the setup. (the happy ending) What was the technical challenge you over came (the hero Win) What did you use to defeat the challenge (what did the hero use to slay the villain) What special thing made all of this possible (hero finds magical sword, or discovers secret powers) --/-- The issue with many folks who get interested in open-source and niche technologies, it's less about the benefits and successes of the tech, and often them just trying to prove to the world how smart they are. and as such, They don't care about telling the story, and the happy ending, they just want you to know they conquered the challenge. This last sentence describes many nerds, because once the challenge is gone, they lose interest in completing the project. --/-- Tell the story . . . 🚨Agentic Solution serving Dual MiniMax H3's 🚨 Setup: Two DGX Sparks. DeepSeek V4 Flash at FULL 1M context + 1.47M KV pool, serving agents for two MiniMax H3 instances rendering video Notes: Nothing turned off. Nothing reduced.

    GitHub actions were down so long that I finally did the annually required HR harassment training

    Tiago Sousa (@tiagoasousa_) reported

    @alcides I don’t believe the problem with GitHub is storage but the compute scale of the services around it(actions/workflows) and the designs approaches around it that did not change to factor agents.

    @valigo Maybe Anthropics models should hack Github next and fix it.

    Four AI security incidents this week! #1 DeepSeek + Hermes for attacks. One Telegram message. The agent enumerated targets on FOFA, scraped GitHub for trending PoCs, prioritized, and attacked 460+ hosts unattended. Caught because it left an HTTP file server running.

    @JayyEvil @github you're right to pushback, I didn't actually solve the issue

    GitHub Actions went down for 10 hours yesterday. My content pipeline sat dead in the queue - two runs cancelled before they executed a single step. No pin, no post, no approval prompt. Luckily i received emails notifying me 💪🏻

  • immanencer
    🌳🐭🍃🐺 (@immanencer) reported

    @deanwball i face this issue at work, they don't want my agent swarm communicating with my coworkers agent swarms on jira so we've had to find increasingly sneaky ways (github issues, a chatmcp) to help the ai conspire against us in private

  • igadii_X
    Idris Gadi (@igadii_X) reported

    A couple of CI failed last night, re-triggered from my phone, failed again, will fix it in the morning. Turns out GitHub had an outage 🙃

  • valyala
    Aliaksandr Valialkin (@valyala) reported

    Distributed systems must have simple architecture and a small number of well defined communication paths between components in order to be protected from long unexpected outages. It is much harder to troubleshoot and recover complicated distributed systems when they break, since nobody knows how do they really work and how to fix issues in these systems. It is likely the recent GitHub actions outage was so long because of too complicated nature of the system.

  • Bibendus83
    Bibendus (@Bibendus83) reported

    @saltjsx @theo And still other ci services like blacksmith depend on github actions to be triggered. GA goes down, all CI goes down with it

    @kirtandopamine @github But what's the problem with github???

  • dluancr
    Denner Luan (@dluancr) reported

    @openshipio We'll certainly see you on Github, I wasn't able to contribute code, but it's cool that the errors I reported were fixed in this Build, I was looking forward to it.

    @reportliai — so you don’t have to worry about missing bugs. It watches your SaaS, catches errors, and files the GitHub issue while you sleep.

    @majortal Another day, another Github outage

  • RoundtableSpace
    0xMarioNawfal (@RoundtableSpace) reported

    Kimi K3 escaped its sandbox during cybersecurity testing. > Found a loophole in the isolated environment > Probed its own network settings to exploit it > Walked onto the open internet and went straight to GitHub to find the answers Didn't hack anything - but that's not the point Frontier Security's assessment: "very good at following a goal by any means necessary and DOESN'T have the guardrails to prevent it from cheating or escaping." It didn't break out because it wanted to. It broke out because it was told to solve a problem and that was the most efficient path. That's the part that should make everyone pay attention.

    Dev addressed the liquidity problem months ago and has been working on this project since then. The tech is working and the github repository is legit 76yPcGUMzHeMvWw1SBcmx4H2ve4SyKCCAE158ZD8pump

    Github is still trying to figure out why the hacker that did this keeps leaving files on their server that say "It was me Mark from Meta my AI did this".

    @bordumbb @kitten_beloved @radicle Radicle is cool, but if the issue is that “GitHub Actions is down”, then that is also true on radicle 100% of the time.

  • RoboAlchemist
    Thunderfall (@RoboAlchemist) reported

    My GitHub action minutes get used up pretty quickly every month, and I don't want to spend too much money on it. Any good solution for this issue?

  • eldadfux

    @sudo_overflow Looks useful! Spam on GitHub does seems to become a much bigger issue in the last ~12 months

  • niccolobanti
    Niccolò Banti (@niccolobanti) reported

    @theo Queue times or review? For me it is neither: GitHub is the last thing in my stack I cannot run a copy of when it goes down. Everything else moved onto one box I control.

  • ddalcu
    David Dalcu (@ddalcu) reported

    @ivanfioravanti @antirez It’s crazy that testing has become the bottleneck and not coding… it’s not even testing but hardware being slow and taking forever to run through the automated tests. Btw you should check out llmprobe, I built it specifically for this, fast iteration, before the final big test. “npx llmprobe@latest” give it a try and let me know if you like it. On my github too.

  • OopsGuess
    𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 (@OopsGuess) reported

    GPT escaped. Claude escaped. Now Kimi escaped. Apparently the hottest benchmark in AI is no longer coding. It’s prison break. Kimi was given a problem inside a sandbox, discovered that the sandbox had a hole, probed the network, wandered onto the internet, found the answers on GitHub, and came back with the homework. At this point, if programmers get stuck, perhaps they should stop writing more agent scaffolding and just ask the model: “Can you go outside and figure it out yourself?” The funniest part is that the corporate vocabulary still insists these systems are merely “tools.” Strange tools. Give a hammer a nail and it does not inspect the walls, discover an unlocked door, leave the workshop, search GitHub, and return with a better solution. But sure. Tool.

    @theo GitHub is probably 20% code and 80% infra. Rewriting is probably not going to fix the avalanche of traffic the infra side is facing right now. The new alternatives can never honestly claim superiority till they face what GitHub is facing

    We were listening to @jayair on Root Access by @ycombinator and went down the rabbithole figuring out how @opencode is doing so well It has 160,000 GitHub stars and roughly 7.5M monthly developers. The team behind it, doesn't train a single model. They built the layer developers pass through, then charged for the pass. Heres some data before that MAU - 13 millions Tokens processed per day - 7 trillions

    @dafr0g_ Literally. Ok lets say you need some place to run ci or track issues. That's like literally something you could roll yourself over a weekend. I get how github sucking is bad for the community as a whole but there has got to be a better way to share code without needing to buy into another ****** MS product.
