There seems to be a website impersonating GitHub, called hub dot earble dot com, currently I only see it on DuckDuckGo/DuckDuckGo NoAI.

Edit: And Bing, too.

Edit 2: And Yahoo, too.

Edit 3: It seems like the website has been taken down, not long ago.

Question Free hosting for small dynamic website compatible with github

6 Upvotes

Hey! I am recently getting into web development and I am wanting to start a blog that I own and can fully customize and build from the ground up. I first was using GitHub because I have some experience using it with other projects and it has pages which is free and built right into the platform. However I have realized that a static website may not have the capabilities that I am wanting.

I am wondering what options are there for hosting. I don't need anything crazy I doubt I will really get any traffic but I want it to be able to be up so I can view whenever and show it to people. And I will be doing all development in GitHub so I don't need really any features besides the bare minimum.

I would prefer something that has the ethical values of open source, transparency, and caution with ai, but beggars can't be choosers.

(Capabilities wanted: conversion of plain text database [containing title body images tags] to blog posts either using prebuilt general formatting or custom formatting for specific post. Search function. As far as I know these capabilities are not available in a static page.)

I assume I got plenty of things wrong in this post, as again, I am new to web development so please educate me in the comments!

Question Blacksmith.sh GitHub runners

1 Upvotes

I signed up for blacksmith about a week in I’ve got a $7 bill already. I’m also getting you’ve hit 80% of your free mins and you should add a payment method.

I’m seriously confused after being extremely impressed by how fast their runners are. Now I’m wondering what the heck is going on.

I tried to reach out to them but need a payment method to contact billing and no reply on the support@ email.

I’m happy to pay as the service is good but really surprised how they work/do business. I feel I could easily be in for future bull shocks.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Looks like I’m not the only one hit by this - https://forestwalk.ai/blog/surprise-blacksmith-costs/

Question Repositories cannot be transferred to the original owner?

1 Upvotes

Trying to transfer a repository from my account back to another and I get this error:

I googled this exact error and got exactly 0 results and can't find anything online about it. How has no-one ever had this issue before? Why can't I do this? Anyone know why this is a restriction?
