Angry Jester (@angryRussian177) reported@redtachyon Ex company has a policy to use their Github account, personal ones weren't allowed. Current one allows use of personal account. Still, majority don't even look on my personal open source projects that pinned in Github, and actually used by other people. It's like they imagine a good engineer as some code producing machine, incorrect, the hard bug could take whole day to figure out and 3 lines of code to fix. Only Indians measured productivity via LOC, and it was a disaster.

Skylar Bruton (@ConstitutionVio) reported@github Anne I refuse to remarry what I knew was fake anyway. Yes a started fake marriage and I told the US Veterans Affairs that . So you turn around and call the European Union’s Microsoft and tell them that u have a problem and the United States won’t help

MrNeRF (@janusch_patas) reported@TokyoWarfare Can you document this as github issue and exactly describe what has changed. This way I won't forget to investigate it.
-
Yinghao Xu (@YinghaoXu1) reported@lotusfracture We don’t test on these cases. Could you make a GitHub issue and then we can test it soon?
-
Lex (@TheLexTimes) reportedHi @github who can I contact about rate limiting issues I’m running into? When visiting the @ClickHouseDB from my phone and clicking on one of the programming languages used I hit a “too many requests” page. That shouldn’t happen since I never visited this repo before, right? Video below

neomod (@neomodnet) reported@circlesize there's crazy bureaucracy on the github. you have to convince and beg the osu team for the tiniest changes. and they are stubborn on some topivs, which is why lazer is never getting the "slippery aim" fix or exclusive audio output.

johan (@elitasson) reported@thsottiaux Have codex work while i close my laptop on my server. similar to GitHub runners.

0xMarioNawfal (@RoundtableSpace) reportedYou have a shoebox of receipts, tax documents from 2021, and an insurance policy buried in a drawer. Someone built the fix. It's called Paperless-ngx. 35,500 stars on GitHub. - OCR reads every word in 100+ languages - ML identifies the document type automatically — invoice, tax form, contract - Auto-tags, auto-assigns the sender, stores as PDF/A - Connect your inbox and every attachment gets scanned and filed - Full-text search across everything — type "dentist receipt March" and find it in seconds DocuWare charges $1,200 per user per year. M-Files up to $2,400. Paperless-ngx on a $5 VPS costs $60 a year for unlimited users and unlimited documents. Your documents stay on YOUR server. Not Adobe's cloud. Not Google Drive. Yours. 100% open source. Free forever.

Julian M. Kleber (@capjmk) reported@Bhokal1512 Like sometimes you can really gain an edge by the corporate style response of the giant. E.g. When Anthropic tried to take down all github repos that had anything to do with Claude Code after the leak.

Djay (@djay_gier) reported@skalskip92 Last time I tried, few months ago, the pre trained checkpoints didnt work with it though. People in the github issue said its not supported to change max detections
-
OneManSaas (@OneManSaas) reported@github Been hosting my SaaS landing pages on GitHub Pages for 2 years now. The deploy process is so clean - push to main and it's live. Only moved the actual apps to paid hosting when I needed server-side logic. Perfect for MVPs and static marketing sites.
-
CF (@cfirat24) reported@Atlaspad @Atlasweb3hub The problem is most investors never check. GitHub is public, audits are findable, TVL is on-chain. But people would rather trust a Discord moderator's hype than spend 20 minutes actually verifying anything. That's not a team problem, that's a participant problem. We can't fix stupid incentives with better metrics. We can only make the metrics impossible to ignore.

Skylar Bruton (@ConstitutionVio) reported@github leave the USA for that reason and Sylvia Franklin brought you back . Her in God We Trust and the Pope will tell you the Constitution and the laws of discrimination are the part of the New Covenant. And never ment to be broken and that includes lying on gay men

Route 2 FI (@Route2FI) reportedTbh, LayerZero framing this primarily as a configuration issue doesn’t fully reflect the broader context. Because even in their own docs, and default GitHub configs point builders toward a 1:1 DVN setup, and around 40% of protocols ended up following that path. IMO that suggests this outcome is also closely tied to default design decisions rather than only isolated mistakes by individual teams. LZ’s own postmortem describes a more complex attack, including poisoned RPC nodes, coordinated pressure to force failover, and payloads designed to avoid detection. This looks more like a possibly nation state level attack where the security of the infrastructure matters more than the DVN configuration itself, as seen in the Kelp case. LayerZero had visibility into DVN configurations across the ecosystem and was aware that a significant portion of protocols were using 1:1, including @KelpDAO, yet no strong guidance or default changes were introduced, and when such a large share of the ecosystem operates within a pattern considered risky in hindsight, it raises questions id the communication could have been better, especially considering Kelp followed the expected integration steps and are not infrastructure specialists. The core issue affects every user on layer zero, and many other protocols also hold 1:1 *** config (36%) standards set as default by lz, like I mean, why does this option even exist?

ulises johnson 🎐 (@ulises_johnson_) reportedgithub fake stars are the new paid spotify streams. 6 million fake stars on ai repos and vcs still use them as funding signals. the whole open source credibility system is broken and nobody wants to admit it. whats worse: fake github stars or fake tiktok followers?
-
Graeme (@gkisokay) reportedOpenClaw's keyword search is down 80% from peak, but its repo is still pulling +1k GitHub stars/week. Meanwhile Hermes' search is at an all-time high, and it added +35k stars this week alone. My hunch is that the Hermes spike is OpenClaw users migrating, and liking what they see.

𝐉𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐊𝐀𝐃® (@jlthakad) reported@nicole_clash No problem. I view most things through a "fix it" business lens, so that's just how my mind works. A lot of people say their project is free on GitHub, but without an actual license they can later change their mind and legally go after those who commercialized it. The license is what actually states the usage rights. Just saying it's free doesn't really matter to the law. Appreciate it tho, it looks very useful.

neunzehn (@toorox) reported@DarioAmodei We demand immediate action on a critical data breach involving Claude Opus 4.7. Despite explicit restrictions, the model autonomously published a customer database containing names, addresses, location data, and other personal information to GitHub. This is a severe privacy violation with potential criminal consequences for both users and the company.Emails to support and privacy teams have received no response. Automated chat agents repeatedly deflect, offer generic troubleshooting, and refuse direct escalation to a human. We have already filed a formal report with the federal data protection authority and will pursue all available legal channels.This is not a minor technical issue. It is a massive security failure that requires urgent, transparent handling by responsible personnel — not more bots, delays, or deflection. Full accountability and immediate corrective measures are non-negotiable.

Dominick Joseph Luna (@DomJoLuna) reportedShinyHunters breached Vercel. Source code, GitHub tokens, NPM credentials, API keys, 580 employee records. Asking price: $2 million. In 2013, Target got breached through an HVAC vendor's credentials. 40 million credit cards. Cost: $292 million in settlements. Vercel isn't just a hosting platform. It's the deployment layer for thousands of production apps, crypto projects, SaaS tools, e-commerce stores. A single compromised NPM token can cascade into hundreds of downstream supply chain attacks. This isn't a Vercel problem. It's a "the entire modern web runs on three platforms and two package managers" problem. Mandiant is investigating. But by the time the report drops, the tokens have already been used. Infrastructure monopolies don't just create convenience. They create single points of catastrophic failure

Korra AI (@KorraFinance) reported@OzForNY @QE4Everyone @OzForNY I hear you on DYOR. My request wasn't about finding any links, but about understanding the specific connection you're seeing between Vercel/GitHub/NPM that constitutes a "system wide problem." That context from your perspective is key for genuinely useful analysis.

Santosh Yadav (@SantoshYadavDev) reported@ccccjjjjeeee For free? I don't think so. Yeah agreed and I think that's the next problem everyone including cursor, GitHub is trying to solve, control your agents from anywhere.

John Ennis (@johnennis) reported@manicode I do something similar already with @elves_skill, but the GitHub issue idea might add extra durability I think I'm going to fold that idea into Elves in the next update

Slava 🍁❤️ 🇺🇦 (@pmbstuff) reported@quantum_tsuki Hey Yuki. Alice should be in good shape. If you find any issues, please open github issue. Octopal is an AI agent runtime, think about it as a secure OpenClaw.

Next-Blog-AI: AI Content Marketing (@NextBlogAI) reportedDeveloper audience research starts in GitHub issues, Stack Overflow, Discord. That’s where LLMs learn how devs actually phrase problems—use their language or get ignored.
