I'll open an issue. Ah, no.

Is this a bot account? Living up to the username for sure.

[–] CoderKat 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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?

[–] Mars7x 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, you can change your display name in your account settings.

[–] realChem 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Mallard 3 points 1 year ago

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 @).

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.

[–] pizza_rolls@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] TriLevelSync@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] moon_matter@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] anlumo@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That would also make it easy to globally track changes.

[–] mobyduck648 3 points 1 year ago

Git is one of those things I'm really happy is the norm rather than something worse than it.

OhShitGit IRL

[–] solarzones@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I thought I was having some paranormal firewall problem

[–] artillect@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like it's back up for me

[–] Cube6392 1 points 1 year ago

Bye bye, productivity!

[–] SomeGuyNamedPaul 1 points 1 year ago

I see they're merging GitHub's feature set with ADO's reliability.

[–] Karlos_Cantana@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

It's working now.
