  @cerspense Yes indeed, where I used to download expensive software, I now download GitHub repos. When I find a problem that needs a solution, I vibecode that solution. Loving what you have built here.

  A guy named nbatman on Reddit accidentally built the most useful website on the internet. It's called FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah). This is the website Google delisted from search for DMCA violations, Reddit shadow-banned for promoting piracy, the Motion Picture Association flagged as a top piracy threat, and the RIAA pressured hosting providers to drop. It is still online. It is still updated every month. Here's how it works. FMHY is the index. The wiki itself hosts nothing. It just tells you where every free thing on the internet actually lives, organized into 14 categories with safety ratings on every single link. → Movies and shows in 4K from 50+ streaming sites → Music at Spotify and Apple Music quality → Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, JetBrains → Every paid course on every major learning platform → 100 million books and papers through Anna's Archive → Free alternatives to every paid AI tool → A SafeGuard browser extension that flags unsafe sites in real time It started as a single Google Doc maintained by one Reddit moderator in 2018. Google killed it with a DMCA takedown in 2023. The community rebuilt the wiki on its own domain, mirrored it to GitHub and IPFS, and now runs it across 12 backup domains simultaneously. There is no company. No CEO. No central server. Six anonymous volunteers maintain the entire thing in their spare time. Donations through Ko-fi pay for the hosting. Nobody profits. Hollywood can't shut this down. Spotify can't shut this down. Adobe can't shut this down. The entire subscription economy is held together by you not knowing this wiki exists.

  It's stories like this that make me realize we CAN win. Bitchat is a decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging application created by Jack Dorsey that runs over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh networks and the Nostr protocol. Offline Mesh: Uses Bluetooth to hop messages from phone to phone across multiple nearby devices. No Accounts: Works instantly with no signup, personal data, or phone number required. Bitcoin Payments: Make transactions with people EVEN IF YOUR WORTHLESS GOVERNMENT IS COLLAPSING YOUR NATIVE CURRENCY!! Dual Transport: Combines local Bluetooth mesh for off-grid use with optional Nostr internet fallback and geohash location channels. Privacy: Employs end-to-end encryption (Noise Protocol) and includes a quick emergency data wipe feature (Kind of important when you're rallying against a oppressive regime like IRAN and you don't want them to EXECUTE you based on info on your phone). India gave GitHub 3 hours to delete BitChat. By the deadline, it was already back — mirrored on Radicle, a network with no company, no CEO, no server to send the order to. India didn't delete BitChat. They just showed the world why decentralized infrastructure exists. WE CAN WIN THIS.

  India gave @github 3 hours to delete Bitchat's source code. It was mirrored in less than that. Next notice: Bluetooth has 3 hours to stop existing. Radio waves, you're on thin ice. GPS, we know where you live... actually no, that's the problem.

  A Hanwha Vision camera served a GitHub admin token from its login page. The outer firmware archive decrypted with passphrase "HTW" plus the model number. The inner rootfs used openssl aes-256-cbc with a key recovered from the fwupgrader binary after XOR steps against a static table. IV sat in plaintext at 53f926801b81454a4f889c9a390db6e6. Trufflehog on the extracted filesystem found the token duplicated across roughly 30 files. The web UI, built with Vite, had passed the full CI job environment through define on process.env. That object shipped in the client bundle served at the login endpoint. The token granted admin rights over hundreds of repositories. Hanwha revoked it within 12 hours of disclosure. Build tools that serialize CI variables ship those variables to every client.

  - no X - no work - no GitHub - no ChatGPT, - no client communication For the last 24 hours, internet services were shut down across my district in Bihar. I wasn’t part of any protest. I didn’t support damage to public infrastructure. Yet, like many others, I still had to bear the impact of a complete internet shutdown. Thankfully, services are now restored. But these 24 hours made me realize how dependent our work, learning, and daily lives have become on the internet. A few offline essentials everyone should keep ready: 1. Local AI/LLMs:— Install Ollama and a small local model so you can still work without an internet connection. 2. Movies & music:— Download a few favorites for offline entertainment. 3. eBooks:— Keep important books and learning material downloaded on your phone or laptop. 4. Offline dictionary:— A reliable English dictionary is useful when online lookup isn’t available. Internet shutdowns don’t only pause social media, they pause learning, work, businesses, and communication. What offline tools or resources do you keep prepared?

  Worth Reading If You're In Coins: I wouldn’t say “the bottom is in” nor where we are located in the cycle of crypto games. I would say this however with certainty: The last wave of game developers did not make it past 2023, 2024, and are absent completely today. Developing anything game and blockchain integrated in the past was extremely difficult, could not be copy/pasted like a DEX from Github, and took years to develop if it was anything worth its lines in code. Nowadays, the average layman with creativity and an idea for a game, can spend 24 hours or less Claude brute-forcing their way through a complete game setup, with server, smart contracts, even art assets for the game, all solo. The wonder and curse of crypto games is their fleeting and low-budget production. People focus on making games quickly that are playable and graphics are tossed aside, no download necessary. They die just as fast for that reason. There is a decent thesis here for a miraculous revival. The speed at which games can be iterated through, ideas tested and examined for failure or success, and the magnitudes of cost reduction due to AI. None of these paradigm shifting changes would suggest a *backward step* in the progress and chances for a renaissance.

  What's more painful. A Codex outage, or a GitHub outage?

  @heyandras @jackfriks @Jean_build Not related at all, is it possible in jean-build to clone and commit/push to original repo (originally created by my personal github), but source issues list from a fork (forked by my org, hence issues and feature requests ljve on the fork)?

  @CodyBontecou Tried that, but still same issue. I had to pull the Github repo and start again. Glad I didn't commit any changes lol

  @sqs I'm still deploying dev environments on VPS and running loops over a github issues repo. Seems like there's an inertia here that's pulling me working with orbs as it seems like orbs works similarly to what I described by design?

  @MattSilver @denk_tweets @beehiiv Set up agents that pull down the branch, spin up a local environment, write playwright scripts to drive the browser, record the screen, and post their findings with the screen recording to the github PR

  A junior developer should not hide all their work behind GitHub. GitHub matters, but hiring teams need context. What problem did the project solve? Who would use it? What decisions did you make? What would you improve next? A portfolio site helps organize the proof so the reviewer does not have to investigate your value like a detective.

  Me and Fable solved the NEET leak problem. Papers leak between "printed" and "opened" — we made that gap 0 seconds. The paper's born at exam time. Nobody's going to believe this, so I open-sourced the whole thing on GitHub. Here's how 👇
