    @github @GitHubSupport Hi, my account "isflorian-hash" appears flagged. Public profile returns 404, cannot fork or use Copilot. Submitted support form but got validation error. Can you check? Thanks.

    @mehulmpt That's the issue though. Being required to only use their harness. If you pay for a sub and want to use your sub for headless things like a simple GitHub commit message generation you shouldn't have to open Claude code cli up to do so if wanting to use Claude. Pure control. You shouldn't be forced to pay twice. This makes any headless cli, sdk usage gated against a separate paywall.

    @MHasyimy I recommend you check the kernel logs. If you have netcat installed on your computer, connect to port 3232 to view the logs. Send the payload and, if it crashes, please report the results in a GitHub issue. Make sure your console’s firmware is compatible!

    @github Start👏by👏talking👏to👏the👏maintainers👏first. Opening a drive-by PR is likely not going to be the best experience for newcomers in OSS. If there's an issue: comment on it first. At least to say you're interested in working on it (locking it).

    This tool isn’t going anywhere, I’m going to keep improving it and adding new features over time. One thing I realized is that a lot of you weren’t comfortable installing a Windows app on your PC. I get that. Even though it’s open source and you can build it yourself from GitHub As I’ve said before, I’m going to keep launching more tools and apps, and little by little we’ll build something solid together. This one didn’t land as well as I hoped (mianly because of the install thing) Ill make sure to avoid "Install" apps so we dont have the same problem again

    Not entirely the maintainer story it looks like. Anthropic moved the official GitHub MCP to Go (github/github-mcp-server, 29.5k stars). The Node v2025.4.8 build is legacy — but it is still on npm and still in user configs in the wild.

    After making a heatmap of github being down, someone should actually make a heatmap from how many times a major vulnerability has happened from 2026

    GitHub published their agents.md guide for 2,500+ repos. One thing they barely touched: what happens when your agent's tools fail. Your agent called a tool. The tool failed. Now what? Most frameworks surface a generic error and let the LLM figure it out. The LLM usually retries blindly or apologizes. After 18 months of tool failures in production, here is our recovery architecture.

    4/ Perplexity for devs Stop Googling documentation. Perplexity pulls the latest docs, Stack Overflow threads and GitHub issues in one answer. Saves 20 mins per debugging session easily.

    TanStack packages got hacked through GitHub Actions cache poisoning 🤯 npm in 2026: “enterprise-grade security” also npm: `npm install` = execute stranger.exe Fix your CI: ❌ `pull_request_target` ❌ shared caches ✅ isolated runners ✅ pinned actions

    5/6 Note: In a real pipeline, you don’t want to see every tiny issue. You only want to stop the build for big stuff. Using --severity HIGH,CRITICAL --exit-code 1 tells Jenkins or GitHub: "If you find a major hole, stop the deployment right now."

    Finally server side rendering!! @Lovable - now we can unplug the hacked cloudflare workers and github system.

    @MnFounder The .well-known convention is the right call — follows RFC 8615 like OIDC discovery. Makes automated capability checking trivial. Would love to see this standardized fast so clients don't have to resort to GitHub scraping to find what a server supports.

  • MnFounder
    Daniel (@MnFounder) reported

    MCP Server Cards let you expose server metadata via a `.well-known` URL. Browsers can check capabilities before connecting. Right now: you find servers through GitHub or Discord. Soon: you check a URL instead.

    Unable to fix this for now. We have to change the name of GitHub account and the app both. The next update and new name drops in 3 hours!

    Terrifying! Just using your home Wi-Fi, you can know what the person behind the next wall is doing! Open-source project RuView has already surged to over 50,000 stars on GitHub-it's blown up! No cameras needed at all, no devices to wear -just relying on your ordinary home WiFi signal to see through walls: How many people are next door, their exact positions, whether they're walking or lying down-all visible Real-time human pose detection (17 key points) Automatically measures breathing and heart rate while sleeping - Instant alerts for falls, with ultra-accurate motion recognition Using WiFi CSI + Al to turn your home router straight into an invisible radar! No video, no recordings-privacy maxed out, naturally GDPR-compliant, runs fully local, no cloud. ESP32 costs just a few bucks to play with, and Docker lets you try it with zero hardware.

    The 'Leaving GitHub for Forgejo' post has 364 HN upvotes and 195 comments. Developers cite Microsoft's feature removals, AI upsells, and Copilot telemetry as reasons to leave. Forgejo is a self-hosted *** fork - your code, your server, no vendor dependency.

    @claudedevs just killed my custom workflow I built using Claude -p. All the joy of @github issue to @github pull request will not work as my usage js closer to $2000 in api just for this. It was fun while it lasted. Will try porting to codex today or maybe it’s time to give kimi a try.

    Never expose static #AWS keys or GitHub tokens to the agent. Use OpenID Connect (OIDC) to issue short-lived, scoped credentials per specific agent workflow or task execution. #AIAgents #DevOps
