Reputation Scores for GitHub Accounts

The folks at GitHub know that Open Source maintainers are drowning in a sea of low-effort contributions. Even before Microsoft forced the unwanted Copilot assistant on millions of repos, it was always a gamble whether a new contributor would be helpful or just some witless jerk. Now it feels a million times worse. There are some discussions about what tools repository owners should have to help…

Are you using to host your favorite AI-assisted and otherwise vibecoded project because your desire for dopamine has utterly destroyed your willingness to learn new things? Do you neither care about how you're "flooding the room" of the free software ecosystem nor about the greater societal implications, insisting that "it is what it is"?

저는 이번에 Java hwplib을 .NET으로 포팅하면서 AI 코딩 어시스턴트를 활용했습니다. 단순 포크가 아닌, 원본과 지속 동기화되는 'Living Port' 방식입니다.

C# 파일에 원본 Java 파일 힌트를 남기고 AI가 upstream diff를 분석하게 했더니, 동기화 시간이 80% 이상 줄었습니다. AI는 경험을 대체하는 게 아니라 증폭시킵니다.

I keep wondering how many people managed to fully leave . (for a nice summary of common reasons to leave check out sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/)

I mean, even if you move your own projects to something like , you’ll still likely have to interact with projects hosted on GitHub. If Musk didn't manage to make everyone abandon Twitter, I'm not sure what are the odds of a mass exodus from GitHub these days.

Lol, is so funny — disabled code search if you are not logged in.

Before, I successfully searched in some project's code without login, but looks like since 2026 desided to make things worse.

Thankfully, "git clone" through HTTPS and good old grep still working without GitHub account, lol

Screenshot of GitHub with attempt to see the search results for code in some project. Attempt failed, because for now it is mandatory to log in, to see search results for code. The message in the page states: "Sign in to search code on GitHub. Before you can access our code search functionality please sign in or create a free account."Emacs frame with two windows: the "git clone" from GitHub repo in the top window, and the grep results on the bottom window.

Launch a Debugging Terminal into GitHub Actions

Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Using WebRTC to launch a debugging terminal into GitHub Actions

Lawrence Gripper · Spoiler: I made a free and open-source way to get an interactive web terminal to your GitHub Action when it fails. Try it out here: https://actions-term.gripdev.xyz/ (code 🔗) 1 Your browser does not support the video element. Building it I think we’ve all been there, your build fails in Actions, but the script works fine locally. You now settle into a slow loop of: Push speculative change See if it worked It was in the middle of one of these when I started thinking about how to make it better.

Measuring the popularity of languages has always been tough. While there are several well-known rankings out there (e.g. the TIOBE index), these days I have the most faith in this one madnight.github.io/githut/#/pu

Love or hate , it's so widely used that the popularity of something there is probably a pretty good reflection of the broader picture.

I can't honestly say I have any sympathy for people who feel betrayed by , considering that GitHub has always been a platform.

If you are a coder, why on Earth would you ever host your FOSS code on a non-FOSS system??

It's a recipe for betrayal. Andreesen Horowitz invested $100M USD in GitHub all the way back in 2012, and *now* you're upset??

1. click on a GitHub issue link in my search results
2. click on a pull request link in that issue comment thread
3. ???
4. PROFIT!1!!

These were the only two actions related to GitHub originating from my IP address over the last several hours.

This is bullshit.

I am going to bet the rate limits got bumped due to LLM scraping. Fscking clowns. 🤡

GitHub is not a serious code foundry.
Microso^WMicroslop is not a serious company.

@RogerBWRev. Roger BW 😷 @adamchainzAdam Johnson :django: :python: prompted by this I gave a go. Plus point: importing from Just Works™, it even correctly imported comments on issues, something vitally important that many such migration tools just can't be arsed with. Minus points: the CLI tool is undocumented and it appears to not be easily scriptable - I couldn't find any equivalent of the `--json` and `--jq` options that `gh` supports; no tool for converting Github Actions.

For whatever reason, Github banned my IP for one hour and I need to see what my students have been doing.

They must contribute to the opensource project of their choice and 99% of them end up on Github

And, yes, I have a Github account even if I would like to get rid of it. But I can’t grade my students.

Monopolies are bad. You think that it happens to other? It will hurt you deeply, sooner or later. It will hit you when you least expect it.

So you print a scientific paper at home. A van with HP markings suddenly parks in front of your house. You start reading the paper. You take notes. You finish reading the paper. A person emerges from the van parked in front of your house, knocks on your door and tells you: "It took you 3 hours to read the paper. That'll be $0,36. Cash or card?"

That's more or less what is now doing with self-hosted runners for GitHub Actions.

resources.github.com/actions/2

Introduction of the GitHub Actions cloud platform charge We are introducing a $0.002 per-minute Actions cloud platform charge for all Actions workflows across GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners. The new listed GitHub-runner rates include this charge. This will not impact Actions usage in public repositories or GitHub Enterprise Server customers. This aligns pricing to match consumption patterns and ensures consistent service quality as usage grows across both hosting modalities. This will impact self-hosted runner pricing starting March 1, 2026.

GitHub sending out emails today about a price change taking effect Jan 1st 2026 is a bit cheeky when lots of DevOps teams are likely to be thin on the ground

resources.github.com/actions/2

Now while it does suggest that change is likely a reduction in bills, the change to charge for **self hosted** run time is going to sting (that goes live March 1st 2026)

I think @Codeberg and @forgejo are likely to see another uptick in users.
