GitHub Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • designMoreData Divy Tolia (***-yuh) (@designMoreData) reported

    @MylesBorins GitHub Enterprise Server 3.0 because they finally got on-prem packages actions and just so much more

  • wmlandau Will Landau (@wmlandau) reported

    @MikeLwrnc @_ms03 Could be that Q() already sets/sends common data. I recommend posting an issue to the GitHub page

  • alxp Al XP Professional Edition 🐝🌹 (@alxp) reported

    Will never not click the 'Edit' link that only edits the title of a @GitHub issue instead of the three dots to get to the link to edit the actual issue.

  • JplusCplusM 🇪🇺Jonathan💙Matthews🌈 (@JplusCplusM) reported

    So I’ve got a few lingering @github Issues I opened with open-source orgs I’ve worked with in the past. It’s enough that they’re open - I won’t need to interact with those issues again. What are my options to remove the Issues from my view inside GitHub, other than closing them?

  • ThomasBurkhartB Thomas Burkhart 💙🦄 (@ThomasBurkhartB) reported

    @dorjepadma @craig_labenz @luke_pighetti No I m thinking more like some rss feed or a GitHub issue that you can subscribe where everytime something was fixed or added a new entry is added

  • crayzeigh aaron aldrich (@crayzeigh) reported

    Gotta love those ***/GitHub tasks that I only do once in a while and so cause the whole "Wait, how does this work? What am I doing? Who even lets me near computers..." cycle each time. (Brought to you by the login prompt reappearing in *** for the first time in 4 months)

  • CodeRebased Head of Dev writes a book about programming (@CodeRebased) reported

    @WellPaidGeek I found recently that GitHub issues give me more answers than SO.

  • YSRNTR1 🔥 🔥 (@YSRNTR1) reported

    @AzureDevOps Pls look at GitHub issue not responding well

  • MCSpaceCadet Rob Jellinghaus (@MCSpaceCadet) reported

    @roumenf Which forum? Not clear on the best channel to use. Github issue with similar symptoms is how I heard about the possibility of a bad cable. (though tried two different cables, both of which work fine with a HL2)

  • ucfgeek Eric Brosch (@ucfgeek) reported

    Hitting HTTP 500 errors all afternoon when checking output of my Github Actions runs. @githubstatus shows all 👍 though. Anyone else seeing the same?

  • petehanssens Peter Hanssens (@petehanssens) reported

    @richbuggy i did it as well as on github and haven't had too many issues - perhaps all those links on conference talks will no longer be valid but i'm sure a quick google would solve most issues for folks. I didn't notice any sizeable issues making the change

  • jadolg91 Akiel (@jadolg91) reported

    @travisci is getting too damn slow for OSS :-( I'll be migrating projects to GitHub actions just to be able to move on.

  • bartkodes Bart Kalanski (@bartkodes) reported

    @hanwhocodes It’s worth a try, I forever had issues with GitHub pages until I made the switch!

  • HwdRounder Mark Preston (@HwdRounder) reported

    @OpenwrtH Passing strange. My GitHUB credentials and 2FA worked on one login and then failed on a 2nd login within minutes of each login. Help?

  • __anp__ all anp’d out (@__anp__) reported

    @mgattozzi github issues are free

  • sofianeflarbi Sofiane (@sofianeflarbi) reported

    GitHub mods be like “we are closing this issue due to the fact that we do not know how to solve it”

  • roumenf Rumen Filkov (@roumenf) reported

    @MCSpaceCadet Yes, a GitHub issue. I can’t remember seeing an issue like this so far.

  • tjmahr tj mahr 🍍🍕 (@tjmahr) reported

    @mdneuzerling i started the "live" thread because i thought i might have to do a couple of things on github and fix something on windows along the way, but no, it was just a one function and a *** commit 😎

  • martinwoodward Martin Woodward (@martinwoodward) reported

    @dghez_ @babylonjs @github Can you try it again for me? We just deployed a fix that we think takes care of that.

  • OttoBott Zach is Making Abducted (@OttoBott) reported

    @PanelSyndicate @jekyllrb TLDNR: Jekyll is a static blogging that Github Pages supports and hosts for free. Instead of paying $5-10/mo for hosting (we've been making Abducted for 3 years, so about $150-$360 saved lol), I just put together a "comic book issues" template you can host for free on Github.

  • alilleybrinker Andrew Lilley Brinker (@alilleybrinker) reported

    Guess I have 61 followers on GitHub, which is weird because I am a terrible follow who works on nothing.

  • bascule Tony “Abolish ICE” Arcieri 🦀 (@bascule) reported

    @mycoliza @BRIAN_____ @Linkerd That'd be fantastic. We're up to our eyeballs in haproxies so I'd really love to replace all of those with linkerd-proxy and have some kind of hybrid cloud service mesh that's aware of both datacenter and cloud. A tracking issue or something on GitHub for this would be great.

  • hanwhocodes Hannah (@hanwhocodes) reported

    @bartkodes I need to deploy elsewhere but just wanted to put this on my GitHub. Do you think the problem won’t happen if I deploy somewhere else?

  • sumeetparmar Sumeet Parmar (@sumeetparmar) reported

    the strangest thing my mvp is about 3 frameworks on client and server side- vuejs, golang, kotlin all are GitHub repos with CI pipelines- even as solo coder few unit tests because too much time to deploy the whole thing but this feeling of work is done as CI approves build

  • JamesCPoole mempoole.com (@JamesCPoole) reported

    Did Github move their servers to Microsoft's cloud or something? Seems really slow these days.

  • domchell Dominic Chell (@domchell) reported

    @pathetiq The problem is you can’t control the session timeouts on your SaaS usually. GitHub, Atlassian, GSuite, Slack etc etc cookies last for a LONG time. Azure PRT is norm 90 days. MFA is irrelevant when I’m in your browser.

  • etrimaille Etienne Trimaille (@etrimaille) reported

    @underdarkGIS That's a good question ! AFAIK, no, not from our side, and not on any GitHub issues. I just gave a PyQGIS training this week and it might be still interesting indeed !

  • davidkonsumer David Konsumer (@davidkonsumer) reported

    @nathanhoad I'd love to help with this, and have a bunch of ideas for improving the system (which I will happily PR for.) Should I make them all as github issues? syntax highlighting in editor, standalone node lib + cli (so we can use our own editor), "test" button in editor, to test a node.

  • olix0r oliver (@olix0r) reported

    github down?

  • 1Password 1Password (@1Password) reported

    @rennarda There's visual spacing on iOS when you look at the number in the item, but the paste should be without any spaces. Can you show us the exact spot on Github you were having trouble?
