RIP GitHub https://github.blog/changelog/2025-05-08-updated-rate-limits-for-unauthenticated-requests/

Good thing I left long ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, “60 requests per hour”, eh? Was that a thing (that is, unauthenticated access to GitHub)?! I know I am on the minority, perhaps, as I rarely (or never) access GitHub unauthenticated.

@bender@twtxt.net Basically the way I’m reading this is 1 RPM. This is a rather aggressive rate limit actually. This basically makes Github inaccessible and useless for basically anything unless you’re logged in. You can basically kiss “pursuing” casually, anonymously goodbye.

Imagine if I imposed that kind of rate limit on twtxt.net?! 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net I might be a bit too negative today. 😅 I just wonder how long it’ll take until they also restrict Git operations. 🤷
