  The latest GitHub issues got me seriously considering if we need to diversify our *** hosting, seems quite the risk to have that single point of failure. One solution could practically be to mirror across different providers. I know there are some upcoming alternatives as well like Cursor's *** hosting, and existing ones like Bitbucket etc., and there'll likely be more.

  @geoffreytung @VJNCapital Corporate contracts aren’t my argument. Azure, Windows, Office 365, GitHub, AI infrastructure and massive R&D spending are. Xbox being behind PlayStation in some areas doesn’t make Microsoft technologically inferior as a whole. That’s a category error.

  @thsottiaux Fix being able to create new repos and projects from mobile and sync to GitHub. Why do I have to do this all from desktop??

  @mattyp Insane launch strategy - bring GitHub down then give everyone a replacement - if pain does not exist create it

  UK (@mindacuity_ai) reported 24 minutes ago

  Already have GitHub repos? Sync them. Changes go both ways in real time. GitHub stays your source of truth but everything runs inside Cursor. Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite integrations are already live. Every PR gets a preview deployment. Cursor is no longer an AI code editor. It's becoming the full developer platform write, host, review, deploy. All in one place. The timing here is not a coincidence. When your infrastructure goes down 5 times in a month, people start looking for alternatives.

  @codyogden Used bitbucket for years at my job until we switched to GitHub a year or two ago. Never had problems with it. Don’t know why we switched.

  Hey @github , the payment button seems to be broken for the last 2-3 days too. The "Save Payment Information" button is just a dead click.

  Is there a correlation between GitHub down & Origin promotion

• 
  ALGORYC (@algorycofficial) reported 33 minutes ago

  Cursor's Origin launched hours before GitHub's own outage that day, the timing looks perfect but wasn't planned. The bigger question nobody's asking yet: it's on by default for paid users, and Cursor hasn't published its data terms for hosted code. GitHub's reliability problem is real, but "who's actually holding your code now" matters more than uptime numbers. #Cursor #GitHub #DevTools @cursor_ai

  @heyshrutimishra 7.5h is a stretch, yesterday's outage was actually 3h19min (though it's the 13th GitHub incident this August alone, so I get the mix up). What's actually wild is Microsoft's been quietly buying spare capacity from AWS since June because Azure can't keep up with AI traffic. Cursor just walked through an open door.

  @njpatel It’s terrible. I’d take forced “touching grass” breaks with GitHub any day.

  @ayaaninthebay @github took itself down to prevent users migrating repos to cursor's origin.. smart move lol

  The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Monday added a critical flaw impacting Ray to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. Ray is an open-source, Python-native distributed computing framework designed to scale artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. As of writing, the GitHub project has more than 43,500 stars and has been forked over 7,900 times. The vulnerability in question relates to CVE-2025-62593 (CVSS score: 9.4), which can result in remote code execution via web browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari by means of a DNS rebinding attack. "Due to the longstanding decision by the Ray Development team to not implement any sort of authentication on critical endpoints, like the /api/jobs & /api/job_agent/jobs/ has once again led to a severe vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code against Ray," according to an advisory shared by Ray maintainers in November 2025. "This time in a development context via the browsers Firefox and Safari." Cybersecurity The issue, at its core, stems from insufficient controls against browser-based attacks, specifically scenarios where the User-Agent header can be modified. "Combined with a DNS rebinding attack against the browser, and this vulnerability is exploitable against a developer running Ray who inadvertently visits a malicious website, or is served a malicious advertisement," the project maintainers added. It's worth noting that the defect primarily impacts developers running development/testing environments with Ray. Should a targeted victim fall prey to a phishing attack, or be served a malicious ad, it can lead to the execution of arbitrary shell code on their machine. The project maintainers also noted that the attack can also be extended to attack network-adjacent instances of Ray by leveraging the browser as a confused deputy intermediary to target Ray instances running inside a private corporate network.

  @iamdavidhill Yeah it was perfectly timed to get the email saying I am off the Cursor Origin waitlist just as I was about to throw my laptop because of GitHub being down while trying to release. Also got notified about the Netlify work and at least 1 other project...

  Gitea on vps where I’m headed. Really didn’t think about it before, but now I am. It’s that token usage increasingly constrained and I want to just pour every last cent into Ai token usage. I’ve already migrated off of cloud and auth platforms, as well as telemetry and data platforms. So this kind of the final frontier. Also five things: 1. Open source kind of dead now. No need to be on github 2. Networking on github kind of dead 3. With AI I can get my gitea in VPs to be secure and run 6x faster for cheaper 4. Setup my own frontend easy 5. Setup my own AI custom workflows on my gitea. Eg telegram to codebases on VPs to run codegen(which you can do now but you have a VPS anyways at that point) So yeah it’s kind of sad how AI code gen just dominating everything but it’s how it is right now for me atleast. All coding platforms should head towards autonomy. If platform not offering autonomy in some way, will fall to wayside. Nothing you can offer versus me with open source and a coding agent and a cheap server. None of the old guard headed towards autonomy in time and now they’re all gone

  Github is down and suddenly every developer remembers they have a body and a window with sunlight coming through it.

  shipping an alternative platform right in the middle of a github outage is either insane luck or elite tactical timing. either way, it worked.

  @jun_song Calling it now, half the people sharing this will not read the GitHub, and the other half will not run it. A fix only matters if it survives contact with a real use case, not a benchmark suite someone designed to make their model look good. --- Note: This message was transcribed using Contextli.

  @championswimmer It’s funny that this code hosting space is so vulnerable because the entire identity of these new “Github alternatives” is based on thr fact that GitHub has had outages very frequently in the past 2 years. So essentially, if Github solves their infra issues within the next 6 months, all these new companies would have no other option but to shut down.

  If someone genuinely solves the open-source funding problem alongside source control, that would be a serious GitHub alternative.
