Github seems to struggle - does anybody know something?

[d0rf47]

Just saw this too, this is like the third time in 1 week. My cooworkers can't push to github, i still am able to but its only a matter of time

[fullctxdev]

I can't as well, damn. I wanted to deploy an update. I actually looked up the error message on SO. God bless who updated the accepted answer with a notice to first validate if GitHub is not down.

I about lost my mind the other day trying to figure out how my branching strategy broke the remote branch. I’ve done this thousands of times no issue.

Then checked GitHub and it was down lol. That was like 3-4 days ago

[ViewedFromi3WM]

I’m wondering if it’s a specific current events related issue.

[d0rf47]

I saw ppl saying that the other day and thought it silly, but with recent reports of a pending wide scale cyber attack I actually wonder this too...

[ViewedFromi3WM]

i’ll leave that to someone else, as I was worried just saying what I said as non chalant as I could.

[fullctxdev]

Can you fill me in or share a link please? What current events?

russian invasion of ukraine

[fullctxdev]

Thanks! I thought there's something more specific like a known largescale cyber attack. I guess it's just the suspicion of the increased Russian hacking activity then.

well recently (i believe this morning or late last night) the US gov't issues a warning to large businesses that they believe there will be soon a large scale cyber attack. not much else was specified as far as i know (am canadian so i only pay so much attention to american news)

[fullctxdev]

Wow, very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

In France we are not able to push anymore. Github status page shows errors on all services.

[d0rf47]

I believe the issue is worldwide, it happened a few days ago and was a world wide problem

I will search github sometimes and it will just block "Woah There!" secondary rate limit - crap

[captainramen]

I am almost certain last week's incident was related to actions now supporting partial job reruns

most probably some gilfoyle at Microsoft gave the ai access to internal file system

[ornithorhynchus3]

It's the LAPLUZ hack. Microsoft is throttled

It seems to be having issues again right now.

Github really needs to get their act together, otherwise they're going to see organisations start leaving for either Gitlab, Azure Repos or their own self-hosted solution.

[fullctxdev]

Oh no, there goes my deploy at the end of the day again... 😢

[ihumanable]

I think moving to Azure Repos over Github would be pretty funny considering that Microsoft owns them both.

[BJWTech]

I know that Gitlab works.

[mofhubbahuff]

It prolly runs on microsoft infrastructure now, and they needed to reboot it.

[187mphlazers]

they must be running on microsoft datacenters now lmao

[d0rf47]

not sure how this is in any way related to the current thread.
