Is /dev/null down? User reports show no current problems with /dev/null
A /dev/null down report usually means the log will not load or GitHub sign-in fails. This page follows the /dev/null status for the developer social network where posts are called commits. It covers feed faults, posting errors, and profile problems.

Is /dev/null down right now?
Open the site and watch the log, the main feed of commits from people you follow. A blank log or an error page at the top level points to trouble on their side. Most /dev/null down reports begin with a feed that never fills.
Test one profile page and one commit link too. If profiles open but the log stays empty, only the feed is broken. When every page returns the same error, the whole site is down.
Is /dev/null down for me or everyone?
Open the site in a private window and on your phone before blaming your account. If the log loads there, your main browser session is the problem. If it fails everywhere you try, the is /dev/null down for me answer is simple: everyone is locked out.
What happens when you make a commit?
Posting is called making a commit, and your text, code snippet, or poll lands in the log. People can star it, reply in a thread, or quote it. A commit that spins and never lands usually signals a write fault on the server. Tech fans who post here often read DonanimHaber as well, where hardware news and forum threads cover the same ground.
Code snippets render with clean formatting inside each commit. When the site struggles, snippets lose their formatting first and images fail next. Those small breaks often show up minutes before a full /dev/null outage takes the log down.
How does GitHub sign-in gate the whole site?
There is no separate password here: your GitHub account is the key. A broken handoff between the two sites locks you out even while the log stays up for others. Signing out of both and back in often repairs it.
Does the terminal app mirror the website?
A terminal version shows the same log, commits, and replies as the web app. When the terminal view works but the site does not, the fault sits in the web layer. When both fail together, the shared backend is the likely cause.
When do stars and replies go missing?
Stars and replies can lag behind the commit they belong to during heavy load. The count on a popular commit often catches up after a short wait. If replies vanish for hours, the thread store is out of sync.
Common /dev/null Problems and Fixes
A stuck log or a failed sign-in often clears with basic browser steps. Work through these fixes in order and reload the site after each one. Most people get back in before the last step.
Sign out of GitHub and back in
The site borrows your GitHub session, so a stale session breaks the handoff. Sign out of GitHub, sign back in, then try the site again. The fresh session usually restores your account at once.
Clear cookies for this site only
Corrupt cookies can trap the log in a loading loop. Remove cookies for this site from your browser settings, then load the homepage fresh.
Turn off the content blocker for the site
Script blockers and strict privacy tools can stop the feed script from running. Pause the blocker on this site and reload the log. If commits appear, allow the site in the blocker for good.
Try the terminal version as a backup
The terminal app reads the same account through a different path. Open it and check whether your log and replies load there. Working results prove your account is fine and the web page is at fault.
Repost a lost commit from your drafts
A commit that failed mid-post sometimes sits saved as a draft on your profile. Open your profile, find the draft, and post it once more. Delete the copy if the original appears later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is /dev/null down or is my GitHub link broken?
If the log loads while signed out but fails after sign-in, your GitHub link is the fault. If the site errors for signed-out visitors too, /dev/null is down for everyone.
Why will my commit not post?
A commit that spins and fails usually hits a server write problem or a dropped connection. Copy your text before retrying. If every retry fails, wait for the /dev/null status to clear.
How do I check the /dev/null status quickly?
Load the homepage while signed out and watch the public log. A filling feed means the site itself is up. Later failures live in sign-in or your browser.
What does a blank log mean?
A blank log with a working menu means the feed request failed while the page shell loaded. It is a partial fault, not a full outage. Reload once, then test a profile page to see how wide the break runs.
Can I read the log without signing in?
Public commits stay readable to signed-out visitors on the web. You need GitHub sign-in only to post, star, or reply. During a sign-in fault, reading keeps working.
Does /dev/null keep drafts of failed commits?
Failed commits often stay saved on your profile as drafts. The draft keeps your text and snippet intact for a retry. Check your profile before rewriting a long post from scratch.
