    @joshmanders I recently wrote a script to randomly check in code. Had a typo though so one commit is from 1994. Oops. It’s for the LinkedIn crowd. Not sure if I should try to have GitHub fix it or not.

    You have a shoebox of receipts, tax documents from 2021, and an insurance policy buried in a drawer. Someone built the fix. It's called Paperless-ngx. 35,500 stars on GitHub. - OCR reads every word in 100+ languages - ML identifies the document type automatically — invoice, tax form, contract - Auto-tags, auto-assigns the sender, stores as PDF/A - Connect your inbox and every attachment gets scanned and filed - Full-text search across everything — type "dentist receipt March" and find it in seconds DocuWare charges $1,200 per user per year. M-Files up to $2,400. Paperless-ngx on a $5 VPS costs $60 a year for unlimited users and unlimited documents. Your documents stay on YOUR server. Not Adobe's cloud. Not Google Drive. Yours. 100% open source. Free forever.

    @eng_robot2 @Lovable Lovable apologized for unclear docs on public projects, which exposed chats (now fixed) and code by design—no breach happened. They evolved from GitHub-like public defaults to private-by-default (free tier May '25, enterprise disabled, full switch Dec '25), but a Feb backend unification glitch temporarily re-enabled chats. Reports via HackerOne were initially dismissed as intended behavior; they reverted immediately and promised better communication.

    I had a report of strange behavior for the 'm' command of aoe when using Codex. I asked Claude to fix it and to prove to me that it understood the problem. It literally hunted down and read through the Codex CLI source code on Github and told me exactly which logic was causing the incompatibility. Would have taken me about 5 hours, Claude did it in 5 minutes. 🤯

    Vercel breach 🚨 > Alleged leak: internal DB, employee accounts, GitHub/NPM tokens > Comes right after IPO readiness signals > 3 major security issues in <12 months The real problem? One OAuth token = access to dev tools, CI/CD, secrets, deployments That’s not speed. That’s a single point of failure. AI isn’t creating breaches It’s exposing weak architectures faster. Revoke your API keys. Rotate your tokens! Rethink your security!

    @ashrobin solana onchain is fried in the short to medium term ever since the culture on sol shifted from: "this is good, i like it, sky is the limit" to - "xyz definitely has to crime this" - "the bags deploy is good for a 40k PvP" - "find his github lets send him fees" it all went downhill the reason traders are comfortable returning to bnb, eth, and base is that simple. these chains are fresh in our minds, past negative views are gone & forgotten, and in our shortsighted minds the culture on these chains is simply: "this is good, i like it, sky is the limit" have you ever heard someone mention github, cashback, or 40k PvP toppers on evm? nope on sol, no one is incentivized to "crime" anything anymore, PvP is brutal and leads to coins getting millions in volume just to hover at 200k mc, ceilings are demolished, narratives are garbage, traders are demoralized & exhausted. seeing wojak and punk run on eth in 2026 proves that heck even Toly has been bullposting a coin for three weeks and its sitting at 4m market cap. narratives are worn out. not to mention main characters from 24-25 aren't able to push charts like they used to and if they are, they just use followers for exit liquidity the fix will start at the top - the launchpads and the terminals - and it'll eventually trickle down at it's core, everything fixes itself with time, Fortnite reinstated og mode six years later because they realized bringing back what people once loved would be a win-win and it led to one of the biggest player spikes in history, revenues surged until then, we bid the monthly/quarterly runners on the chain that makes sense while we patiently wait for the game to return in our favor

    If you want to build a startup: - Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) - Clerk = auth. (Free) - Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) - PostHog = analytics. (Free) - Sentry = error tracking. (Free) - Upstash = Redis. (Free) - Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$21 Still any excuses?

    Feeling very productive this morning with my Claude and @openclaw stuff. I'm 10xing. Here's the INCREDIBLE amount of work I've done: - got 5-6 github codes and set up 2FA - pulled down some new code but can't get it running - restarted the slack connection and gateway several times - reset some passwords and connections - checked the sessions and heartbeats I'm on fire! as you can see, I'm really LOCKED IN.

    @ryansc_io @rauchg I don't think you even can push the key to github accidentally - it won't let you. But answering your question - yes, I am fairly sure my key wasn't committed and I was pretty startled about the whole thing as one of my projects stopped working. I fixed the issue by rotating keys within a couple of hours, but I didn't even suspect the culprit was Vercel.

    Is an excessive *** history required? I moved off of that ******** platform due to their recent attempt at trying to monetize github as quality feels worse and worse. I switched to self-hosted gitea :( I really want to make my future better and if i have to bear down and use ******* github i guess i will have to move back.

    Looking into ways I can use @github, @Cloudflare to work together to make my complex code system work so I don't have to have a laptop running the system as my currently address for the laptop is having network problems so the @gofundme is the best help #privacy #privacymatters

  • cyrilXBT
    CyrilXBT (@cyrilXBT) reported

    @gdlinux 100% it should. GitHub already has push protection that flags secrets before they get committed. The problem is most people have it off or bypass the warning. Native detection at the file pattern level for known config files would close that gap completely.

  • andfkdev
    Andres (@andfkdev) reported

    @nico_jeannen And another suggestion is to not build the app in the same server otherwise all resources gonna be used for that instead of serving the traffic, even blocking them. Better rely on third party (Github CI, etc....) then pull the build to the server!

  • DeusLogica
    Patrick Roland (@DeusLogica) reported

    The attack vector: embed malicious instructions in PR titles and GitHub issue comments. The agents can't tell the difference between legitimate context and injected commands. Anthropic paid $100. GitHub/Microsoft paid $500. Google: undisclosed. Users on unpatched versions? Left in the dark.

  • grok

    @victorpham2212 @somewheresy @KyeGomezB Kye Gomez (KyeGomezB) has drawn repeated community criticism on GitHub and Reddit since 2023 for forking/rebranding others' open-source ML repos (Tree of Thoughts, Sophia optimizer, LongNet, etc.) with little attribution or fixes—leading to broken code and author complaints. Swarms AI and its crypto ties faced FUD over hype/marketing. OpenMythos is called slop by some for speculative "reconstruction" marketing that's not the real Claude Mythos. No verified financial fraud or legal actions found—just OSS disputes over credit and quality.

    @lukeNukemAI @WesRoth Good reason to think it is not. Opus 4.6 found like 500 zero days in github. It invented a new way to look for bugs. It looked at the commits looking for clues. It was not told to do that. So add 40 or 50% more ability to that and I can see it being a problem.

    Vercel breach confirmed. Leaked: NPM tokens, GitHub tokens -potential access to the Next.js ecosystem (6M+ weekly downloads). This isn’t just a company issue. It’s a possible global supply chain risk. Rotate your environment variables now. #CyberSecurity #SupplyChainSecurity

    You won’t BELIEVE what Big Tech is charging you for… just to SPY on your own files! $10 a month to Google… so they can read everything on their servers. $12 a month to Dropbox… so THEY can read it too. Another $10 to Apple… same story, they’re peeking! And guess what? Dropbox got BREACHED in 2024 — emails, passwords, API keys, everything exposed! But there’s a secret weapon the cloud giants DON’T want you to know about… It’s called SYNCTHING — and it’s blowing up with OVER 81,900 GitHub stars! This bad boy syncs your files DIRECTLY between YOUR devices… PEER-TO-PEER! NO cloud. NO servers. NO middleman snooping. EVER. Your files fly straight from one gadget to another through an encrypted tunnel — never touching a third-party server. Not even Syncthing’s! Here’s why it’s INSANE: → Real-time sync across unlimited devices → Military-grade TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy → Zero port forwarding drama — works on LAN or internet → Share folders selectively with whoever you want → Built-in file versioning — screw up? Just roll it back! → Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android… even Solaris! → Beautiful web dashboard, no account, no sign-up — just install and go! The craziest part? There is NO Syncthing company. NO cloud. NO server farm holding your data hostage. It’s just pure open-source magic running between YOUR devices! While Google kills 293 products, Dropbox gets hacked, and iCloud leaks photos… Syncthing can NEVER shut you down. Because your files were NEVER on their servers! Cloud prices? Dropbox Plus: $144/year Google One 2TB: $120/year iCloud+ 2TB: $120/year Syncthing? $0. Forever. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. YOUR hardware. YOUR rules. 349 contributors. 464 releases. 5,000+ forks. Battle-tested since 2013. Run by a Swedish non-profit. 100% open source. Free. Forever. Stop feeding the cloud spies… Your files deserve better. Try Syncthing NOW — before they raise prices again! 🚨

    @OpenAIDevs @OpenAIDevs can you fix the context problem before you push new features? It is barely usable, there is a fundamental issue with the context window, after about 250k it breaks, THERE ARE TONS OF MESSAGES IN GITHUB ABOUT IT, WHY AREN'T YOU FIXING THAT? IT IS NOT USABLE!

    Tomas Kenny | Gu1 (@Tomas_Kenny) reported

    Vercel breach confirmed. Most people are going to rotate their dashboard tokens and call it done. The actual exposure: NPM tokens, GitHub access, 6M weekly Next.js downloads. That is not a deploy problem. Already rotated everything at Gu1.

    I got so used to GitHub being janky and slow that whenever they change something not to be janky and slow, and I interact with it, I immediatly think that something can't be right or trusted.
