GitHub offering CD-ROMs of your code for a few days
18 days ago
- GitHub is offering a limited run of CD-ROMs containing users' public repositories from July 2 to July 6, 2026, with the first 1,000 eligible submissions receiving one free copy per person.
- This move is seen as a humorous marketing response to recent developments in physical media, particularly referencing Sony's shift toward digital-only PS6 games and Microsoft's past DRM controversies.
- While GitHub promotes the CD-ROMs as a way to physically own and share code, the practicality is limited as many modern PCs lack built-in disc drives, and alternative storage like thumb drives or SSDs offer similar longevity without specialized hardware.
- The announcement contrasts with Microsoft's Xbox testing a disc-to-digital feature for game preservation, highlighting industry differences in physical media approaches amid reports of potential layoffs in Xbox's gaming division.

GitHub suddenly rejected my SSH key (the fix was a .pub file?)
10 hours ago
- Git pull stopped working on a laptop with an SSH key that was previously fine, while the same key worked on other devices.
- The private key was valid, using a modern signature algorithm, and SSH config was correct; GitHub status was green.
- The fix was simply generating a missing .pub file from the private key using `ssh-keygen -y -f <key> > <key>.pub`.
- A 12-trial test confirmed that the .pub file is required: without it, authentication is rejected; with it, it works.
- The .pub file changes OpenSSH's authentication flow: with it, the client probes the server before signing; without it, it sends a direct signed request.
- Both flows are valid per RFC 4252, but GitHub seems to now reject the direct signed request, possibly due to new server software (identified by banner '6a2c000').
- The author suggests that GitHub's SSH frontend changed, causing the issue, and recommends ensuring that all private keys have corresponding .pub files.
