  Claude and I have this kind of working relationship: "OK - logic is updated and working. Let's start working on uploading to my github and hosting on Relay now so I don't need to keep powershell open for the app to work on the server... Be granular and specific in your instructions because I am retarded."

  @tonilopezmr you may have an app (Rize) that is using github regularly to store data. I recall this was an issue a few months ago. I’m unsure if it has been resolved.

  planefag, I'm not excusing the attitude of the guy who pissed you off. But there is an explanation for it, and I'm going to put on my Mister Open Source hat and lay it on you. The real reason there aren't prominent links to downloadable binaries on forge sites like GitHub is that in open-source land there is no such thing as a truly portable binary. Windows and Mac make binary distribution easy by being limited to a single hardware platform and a single ABI - application binary interface.. (The assertion I just made can be quibbled with at the edges. I will be unkind to anyone who attempts this.) An application binary interface is a set of conventions for how you decorate your binary so the operating system's program loader knows what to do with it, and how you write traps from your binary to call operating system services. Windows and Mac have, effectively, just one ABI each. So you can generate one binary for, say, Windows, attach it to a download link, and Windows users will generally not come back screaming for your blood because it fails to work in some obscure way. (Again, this statement can be quibbled with, but see this whacking great truncheon in my hand? Just don't.) There is no such grace in open-source land. There are a whole bunch of complicated historical reasons for this, starting with the fact that Linux runs on more different hardware architectures, and continuing with the fact that Linux isn't the only game in town (there are the BSDs), and continuing into technical minutiae that would make your head hurt, and continuing further into technical minutiae that make *my* head hurt. But what this actually means is that if you want to provide binaries and not get sperg-screamed at, you can't just provide one. You'd have to provide many, and no matter how comprehensive you try to be somebody is going to be disgruntled because you didn't cover their corner case. This is not a cost-free proposition. For each different kind of binary you provide, you need to cross-compile your source code in a different environment, many of them posted on distributions and hardware platforms you don't have routine access to. So people almost never do it at all. Because most projects don't do this, sites like GitHub don't see any demand push to make binary download links really accessible. Instead, the problem is normally handled at a different level. Your distribution maker keeps huge sets of compiled binaries lightly hidden inside of installable packages, tuned for the ABI of that single distribution. Your package manager hides from you the packages for everything but your hardware architecture The person who pissed you off was rude, but he wasn't exactly wrong about the objective facts. What you want isn't practically possible. Instead of being annoyed because GitHub doesn't feature binary-download links, search for that software using your package manager. Sometimes you won't find it. That's when you have to download source bust out a compiler. Sorry, but that's the way it is. We're trying as hard as we can - really, we are. But the complicated shape of the terrain constrains what we can achieve.

  @Egozi_1908 @nakasyou0 Money Forward had a GitHub security breach. Their dev credentials leaked, so a third party accessed and copied some repos. Files inside contained personal info — specifically, 370 records from their "Money Forward Business Card" service: cardholder names + last 4 digits of card numbers (no full cards, expiry, or CVV confirmed leaked). No customer database breach. They've locked it down, reissued keys, suspended some bank links temporarily as precaution, and are notifying affected users by email. They apologized for the worry.

  AI tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot are cool, but let's not act like they're the second coming. They're incremental, not revolutionary. Code is still written by humans, with AI just being a fancy autocomplete. The hype misses the real issue: it's not about more tools, but smarter usage. If devs don't understand the fundamentals, no tool's gonna fix that. It's skills, not shortcuts, that make great engineers. #AIForDevs #CodeSmart

  @github Keeps using up capacity for the day in the middle of update and breaks code, so annoying. especially since I have tokens left, so have to fix it myself.

  BREAKING NEWS: This 13-year-old Thai student solves Codeforces rating 800 problems in C++ in 45 seconds through an AI agent he built himself on Claude Code and posted to an open GitHub repo. He sits in a regular school room with a MacBook Air on the desk, a silent HHKB Type-S keyboard for $300, and a timer in the frame. In the browser Codeforces is open, in VS Code an empty .cpp file, and in the corner of the screen a Claude Code window.

  Google makes $238 billion a year serving you ads. A random developer made a free tool that blocks all of them at the network level. On every device in your house. Simultaneously. It's called Pi-hole. It has 57,000 GitHub stars. You run it on a Raspberry Pi ($35) or any old Linux device. It becomes your home network's DNS server. Every ad domain gets sinkholes before it reaches your devices. Your TV stops loading ads. Your phone stops loading ads. Your kids' tablet stops loading ads. You don't install anything on any of them. It just works. Here's what else it kills: → Facebook's tracking pixel. Dead. → Google Analytics is following you everywhere. Dead. → Your smart TV's surveillance layer. Dead. → App telemetry phoning home. Dead. → Data brokers pinging your devices. Dead. One Pi. One setup. One command. $238 billion industry. Nullified for $35 and an afternoon. 100% Open Source. Forever free. (Link in the comments)

  YOUR .ENV FILE IS NOT PROTECTED. You think it is because you wrote "never read .env files" in CLAUDE.md. That is a suggestion. Claude follows suggestions most of the time. Under complex tasks, long context, and ambiguous instructions, it does not. A GitHub issue confirmed in April 2026 that Claude reads and echoes .env contents into conversation, even when CLAUDE.md explicitly prohibits it. Your API keys. Your database credentials. Your secrets. Echoed into a conversation log because a suggestion is not a wall. The only reliable protection is a deny rule in settings.json. Enforced at the system level before Claude ever sees the file. The difference is not technical complexity. It is the difference between asking Claude not to look and making it physically impossible for Claude to look. Check your settings.json right now with this guide.

  @SamuelBeek I just tasked codex to spin up a Azure Windows VM and install my app there to test it, then i use the ‘Windows’ Osx app to remote login and test. Using a Github runner to build the Windows x64 version from my Mac

  After 10 years, I finally shut down my GitHub account. I'd been paying $120 a year for a secure remote location to store my code, but over the last year it's become unstable. When I went to create a simple wiki so I could access my Markdown files, they forced me to make the repository public — keeping it private would have cost an extra $50 a year. There's an adage in integration work: you inherit all the problems of the system you're integrating with. So I moved everything over to GitLab and haven't looked back. Then Friday, I deleted everything on GitHub and canceled it all. I'm a solo game developer — I just need something that works. I don't need all these problems they're dealing with. Whether it's AI or just lazy coding, it doesn't matter; I can't afford the nonsense. Good luck to those who are staying.

  it's so funny github is struggling to be live because pre AI commits were not that much, however everybody is using agentic AI / vibe coding wtvr u name it, we're spamming commits, and github is reaching it's limit for resources it will be interesting to see how they try to solve this problem.
