tom1337··on Gitbook Breached
What's happening currently that every other a day a major service is breached? Is it really just all AI Agents being blasted on those targets?
tom1337··on OpenAI seems to be silently re-enabling model training on Codex chats
Unfortunately, they are also changing that a bit:

> Thank you for using Daybreak Blue and for being part of our Trusted Access program. We are reaching out to notify you of an upcoming change to how your Daybreak Trusted Access data may be used. Daybreak use requires you to enroll in Advanced Account Security, which turns off the “improve the model for everyone” setting. However, from November 29, we may use content from Daybreak Blue sessions on personal accounts to improve our models, including to help strengthen safeguards against cyber misuse. We will use Daybreak Blue interactions for these purposes, even when the “improve the model for everyone” setting is off.

tom1337··on Scaling Git at OpenAI
Do you have a lot of past chats? The desktop app has been unusable for me when I had more than 20 chats in the side bar. Deleting / archiving fixed most of the lags for me.
tom1337··on Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed
Could it be because Claude / ChatGPT are the most viral models and thus are more likely to be in the training set so when someone asks "Which AI are you?" the likeliness of Claude and ChatGPT being a reasonable answer is higher?
tom1337··on CVE-2026-111943: Compromised Intermediate Certificate Authority
I'd assume hugged to death
tom1337··on Security Disclosure
It is… for their business.

tom1337··on Today's PHP security release, and how we're strengthening security
Depends how your logging works. If you ingest logs to a remote server it's quite hard for an attacker to clean those up. Also I'd guess that most of the PHP exploits tried today weren't sophisticated but rather brute force and then either cryptomining or botnetting or something like this.
tom1337··on A Dynamic and Distributed Virtual GPU Cloud Built on Idle Apple Silicon Devices
I guess for companies this can be nice? Run some inference in the off-hours on the machines that you already have. Could be useful for analytical tasks that don't require to be instant. On the technical side this doesn't seem that groundbreaking for me though.
tom1337··on Incident with Actions, Pull Requests and Issues
It's not that expensive, yes - but it's more than 5x what we are currently paying for it.
tom1337··on Incident with Actions, Pull Requests and Issues
Enterprise is the highest tier of paying tho. Our company is working on the Team plan is pretty much affected by each and every of those outages.
tom1337··on Incident with Actions, Pull Requests and Issues
They probably had a redistribution of free-tier and paid-tier usage in the last year-ish.

Just backseat gaming but a lot of those issues could probably be solved if they'd (temporarly) reduce the free tier. I'd say simply dropping Actions from it would reduce the load by a lot because then most vibe coders wouldn't bother integrating a CI/CD and either just use local pre-commit scripts or stop using those entirely. Not using a CI also drops the requirement for using PRs on solo-dev projects so they might also reduce load there.

tom1337··on Incident with Actions
> We continue to monitor for full recovery and are working to mitigate ongoing issues affecting other services, including access to repository lists, licensing, and billing pages

Those issues affecting other services are not visible anywhere else on the status page, are they?

tom1337··on Web Search API
I wonder if the three search engines get access to cloudflare protected sites without any captcha or bot interventions
tom1337··on Gemini 4 Argon
Are you enrolled in Fairwind?

> Today, we’re announcing our new frontier model, Gemini 4 Argon, which is rolling out to a set of trusted cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program.

tom1337··on GPT-6.1 Sol replaces GPT-6 Sol after just 7 days, with near-Astra intelligence
Still waiting for the moment where GPT either orders 4,000 pounds of raw beef or just deletes the whole OpenAI repo because it "thought the easiest way to remove all bugs is by deleting the whole repository"
tom1337··on GPT-6.1 Sol replaces GPT-6 Sol after just 7 days, with near-Astra intelligence
Kinda same but I miss my 5.3 Codex. Thing lasted forever on my $20 subscription and with detailed prompts was able to pretty much implement everything I requested it to do with a acceptable quality.
tom1337··on Sonnet 5.5
I recently wanted to work with ESP 32 and bluetooth presence detection for my smarthome. Claude also immediately flagged the request and degraded it to Sonnet 4.6. Went to Codex which had no issues
tom1337··on Show HN: Hntui – A TUI for Hacker News
It uses OpenTUI which is build in Zig: https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui
tom1337··on Flights cancelled at UK airports due to ATC issue
I mean one could do A/B weeks. Have two separate systems that do the same job managed by two different teams etc. and switch between the primary system every week. This way you can ensure both systems are stable.
tom1337··on Flights cancelled at UK airports due to ATC issue
Currently stuck at an airport in london. It's insane how little information the staff here has. Also mindboggling that in aviation, where everything has a backup or two there seems to be a single company with a single software that can take down an entire airspace which most like will create worldwide ripple for the next days.
tom1337··on Check if a file was made with Claude
Unfortunately this is just for Media? Some manual tells for Excel or PDFs is to check the author. Claude creates PDFs via wkhtmltopdf so the PDF Producer will be Qt and the Content Creator is wkhtmltopdf. Xlsx files are being created via openpyxl so in the metadata that is the author.
tom1337··on Disruption with Some GitHub Services
i noticed it today as well - typing "g" is enough to go to the statuspage. and surprisingly often when i go there by accident, they have an incident…
tom1337··on OpenAI restores 5-hour Codex and Work limits for ChatGPT Plus users
also it sounds like users benefit but they mostly don't. resets mostly benefitted OpenAI and only gave users few additionals hours.
tom1337··on OpenAI: GPT 5.6 Sol price reduction (until at least Nov 21)
completely offtopic but how are you always there with a valid dupe link?
tom1337··on UK internet age checks have boosted rogue adult sites, says Pornhub
And something similar will happen with chat control I'm afraid. Make every public messenger scan all messages to "protect the children" and those people that would be affected by these scanners will simply find another way to communicate (or build their own E2EE chat app like EncroChat in the past) and the only ones that suffer are the normal people who are now being surveilled and with no real reason.
tom1337··on How Bluesky draws its logo on screenshots
No because per default the input is not cleared when screenshotting. If you‘d implement this yourself for security reasons you'd most likely blur / overlay the whole screen when the app enters background state.
tom1337··on Incident with Github.com [resolved]
Wow they just went into "another" outage

> Update 16:59 UTC - The degradation affecting API Requests, Actions, Git Operations, Issues, Pages, Pull Requests and Webhooks has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability.

> Update 17:30 UTC - Git Operations is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate.

> Update 17:36 UTC - Issues is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate.

> Update 18:48 UTC - API Requests is experiencing degraded availability. We are continuing to investigate.

tom1337··on Incident with Github.com [resolved]
Update 16:36 UTC - We identified the problematic component and have taken corrective actions. There are strong signs of recovery but we are still working to completely restore service, with error rates still remaining slightly elevated. We will post further updates as recovery continues.

just shy of 3 hours to find the issue

tom1337··on Incident with Github.com
How would I be able to run my CI via Buildkite when I still host in GitHub and their API is down? We are currently already using self-hosted runners and they also don't work because either they aren't started by GitHub or can't download the code.
