I just set up Forgejo on one of my machines. It works very well, have not had any problems yet.

Ah so that's why the GitHub Pull Requests extension is repeatedly harassing me about needing to log in again...

cool looks like this nuked all of our authenticated connections in Heroku, too.

These are not working for me right now: Github Pull Requests VS code extension, Refined Github Chrome extension

This is what I get for trying out Fable 5.

Surely they just need to consume more tokens to fix this!

One thing I hate about GH's status page: sure "auth" gets to live under API, so API gets the downtime report today. But all of my remote git ops are failing, because i was dumb enough to use the `gh` cli to auth. Their status pages are not well defined, but they treat them as such, leading to inflated uptime numbers.

GitHub iOS logged me out. Tried logging in twice before realizing the problem is on their side...

Still having issues codeql actions error out with auth issues. :(

I thought I was hacked this morning... Nope just Github being github...

CodeQL errors with auth issues brought me here.

Thankyou, was just starting to dig into what was going on with my build

Again? Last time an incident happened was 48 hours ago [0]. Now the API is having issues.

Something every week is falling apart at GitHub and it is slowly self-destructing.

Each time there is an incident at GitHub, it is another advertisement to self-host your own. Otherwise just expect GitHub to break next week or two.

Remember, there is no CEO of GitHub; only their AI agents running it into the ground.
