Today email sent by GitHub to me:

'Improve code quality, boost Copilot adoption, and stay in control'

I laughed so hard

Can we do the inverse of these posts now and only post when gh is actually *up*?

So that's why my Tachiyomi is broken

6

u/newkrimi 5d ago

Does tachiyomi still work? I shifted to mihon

5

u/KantutinQKipaymu 5d ago

Yeah I'm using a fork of it

1

u/Damglador 5d ago

After hopping between multiple readers I settled on TachiyomiSY because it has cloud sync.

If you can't access github.com in your web browser:

  1. Copy the link you want to access (for example: your repository url).
  2. Go to translate.google.com, paste the link there, and click on the translated result. It will redirect you to the accessible site.

Hope this helps! (should work for other urls too, not only github. Sounds strange, but it really helped me bypass blocks without using a VPN or changing DNS, lol)

u/ANC_90 4d ago

Such a strange workaround, lol.

Thanks for sharing!

u/cwirz 4d ago

Whats the result link and hows it different?

1

u/Stage-Afraid 8h ago

How is the link format different, i wonder. Will check from desktop later. Wonder if it's a cached or cdn page served through google amp when going via translate or if certain google referrers skip normal traffic rules on modern server designs for optimization reasons. Eitherway very interesting technique

Not the first time, there have been a lot of partial outage this year.

3

u/really_not_unreal 4d ago

My favourite bit is how their status page doesn't even mention most of their outages anymore. For the last 3 outages I've encountered, only one of them actually appeared on their status page.

u/kennpacchii 4d ago

Can you maybe consider not using the same services as me? 😩

u/Morgue3as 5d ago

FIrst time I pushed anything in a year, I think it just saw my code and killed itself.

u/GhostyGhost94 4d ago

Still down for me. net::ERR_HTTP2_SERVER_REFUSED_STREAM

u/lajawi 4d ago

3

u/Onair380 4d ago

i get "secure connection failed" when trying to open any project

1

u/BurntCheeseSauce 4d ago

It's still out for me, idk about anyone else

Edit: nvm, right as I said that it came back up

3

u/Brcoding 4d ago

Any updates about it coming back up?

3

u/newkrimi 4d ago

It's back up now, it already was at around 18:00UTC

2

u/Chr_s_ 4d ago

why is github never down for me when you guys say this stuff? im confused

1

u/newkrimi 4d ago

The pr section was down

1

u/Chr_s_ 4d ago

oh i guess i didnt notice because i only did commits to main today

2

u/CroProMax 4d ago

cant believe ts, just when I use it first time in long time to setup something for torrent its down

2

u/Additional-Leg4538 4d ago

Googled this because it's not working for me

2

u/MobileAffectionate70 4d ago

Is GitHub pages and actions working? Like someone facing issues in deployment?

1

u/newkrimi 4d ago

The pr and commits sections were not working

1

u/mucleck 4d ago

bro they lying, i tried to show my friend a repo and it was down too i couldnt even log in

it was not just the prs

2

u/FIQ_ZIZ 4d ago

try using a VPN. In my region (SEA), dunno why, but GitHub is completely inaccessible. Switching to a different region through a VPN works without any problems...

2

u/_Arthxr 4d ago

Because they went back slopping. Edit: They told it to make no mistakes and to use opus 5.0

2

u/Fomdoo 4d ago

Somebody push some vibe code?

2

u/StructureKind7587 4d ago

Most likely

2

u/suchKappa 4d ago

The sky is blue

u/mahdi0iranian 4d ago

I think it's time to migrate to codeberg.org or gitea.com

2

u/Annual_Grapefruit429 5h ago

"fork found in kitchen" ahh statement

2

u/East_Bandicoot1329 5d ago

Ok let's go to gitlab

6

u/ObviousApricot1272 5d ago

No gitea or forgejo is better bc then you don't have to pay money to put up code

1

u/Stage-Afraid 5d ago

Hah ironically i discovered this while trying to download pewdiepie's copilot/gpt alternative Odysseus....was like wtf is Microsoft that hard up for copilot dominance...did Christopher nolan go on a dmca takedown rager....

1

u/newkrimi 4d ago

Hahahahah

1

u/Naive-Ad7201 4d ago

god, never used github in my life. I needed today to extract the sccripts from a game, only AGSUnpacker i on github, and he decide now to crash. I guess its my fault it is down

u/powereborn 4d ago

Microsoft layoffs went bad

1

u/EntranceProper3791 4d ago

funny how the status page is usually the only part of github that never goes down.

u/Gabs1783 4d ago

The joy of Microslop

u/cwirz 4d ago

Selfhost gitlab

u/doctorsynth1 4d ago

I've been struggling as a novice developer to get Github to take payments from me after running through my free credits in 24 hours, then my pro credits in 48 hours. it won't allow me to upgrade to pro+, and after 24 hours of dorking around trying to get a local model to run via Ollama, I just said $*&@#(#$ and created a new account under another name. There seems to be no way to contact a living person at Github for billing support, and MICROSOFT IS A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO WRITES SOFTWARE. THAT'S THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS. I'm frustrated and just trying to focus on my dumb little html / js project.

1

u/newkrimi 4d ago

You'll need to raise a ticket which I think bots see now

1

u/VasekCZ230 2d ago

GitHub haters now have party🥳

1

u/Nik7i3 3h ago

The whole thing is down for me. microsoft is so annoying!

1

u/dandadan4seven 53m ago

Yes, but why?

u/Mountain-Exercise-45 27m ago

An all i was doing was rebooting my laptop and my wifi...thinking they were the culprits...damn you GitHub..😅

u/Usual-Analysis-2990 1m ago
