A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

looks like we have to go outside :/
Is this a bot account? Living up to the username for sure.
The heck? I didn't get it at first, but I looked at this in a Lemmy instance and the OP name is different? On kbin, OP is xtremeownage. But on the original instance, their username somehow shows up as HTTP_404_NotFound, but still links as xtremeownage.
Does Lemmy have some sorta different display name vs username thing?
Yeah, you can change your display name in your account settings.
Their actual username is xtremeownage, which is why it still links that way, but lemmy lets users set a display name that's different from their username (in this case, HTTP_404_NotFound). Sounds like kbin doesn't respect lemmy display name settings.
yes, that is a feature of Lemmy
That's the difference between username and display name.
My username is Mallard, which shows up as @Mallard, and I've set my display name as Mallard too, which shows up as Mallard (without the @).
Does Lemmy have some sorta different display name vs username thing?
Yep, if you go into your settings (since you're on beehaw, that should be https://beehaw.org/settings) you'll be able to set a display name there!

Came here to post! Beat me to it.
I think it's geography based. Works for me from the west coast (usa) but not the east. :(
Only found out because coincidentally DEVOPS IS GITHUB. So yea, I guess add another non-critical thing to the playbook.
It was down for me on the west coast, maybe you just missed it.
Also thanks Microsoft
The good thing with Git is, that many people have copies of the entire project history. This is a backup and people can still work on the project until servers are up again.
For codebases yes. The issue I got locked out of today is Guthub’s container registry and couldn’t pull any images.
It also makes migrating a project to another git hosting service easy. The only problem for us were the tickets.
That should've been a git repo, just like the wiki. I imagine major projects are backing them up or mirroring them somewhere else. It's not the first time this has come up.
That would also make it easy to globally track changes.
Git is one of those things I'm really happy is the norm rather than something worse than it.
OhShitGit IRL
I thought I was having some paranormal firewall problem
Looks like it's back up for me
Bye bye, productivity!
I see they're merging GitHub's feature set with ADO's reliability.
It's working now.
