Days without GitHub incidents

I recently moved all my projects to a self-hosted forgejo instance and have found it quite satisfactory so far. And it's fast! If you're in the market for a github alternative, take a look - there are options.

This is a real business continuity issue for us. We’re kinda stuck with GitHub Enterprise but we may need to move from cloud to on-premises if this keeps up.

I don't think aggregating the whole platform into one number is fair. It's like adding the whole aws into one number

I'm currently setting up a self-hosted "Knot" for use on tangled.org.

Mainly doing it because I think AtProto is cool and self-hosting is fun, but also because owning the infrastructure that hosts my projects is definitely the direction I want to move in.

Tangled's Knot system feels like a really strong abstraction for this. I host the data in an AtProto Repository, but can rely on a third party to host/manage the AtProto Application that presents it to the rest of the world. If Tangled goes under, I can happily take my AtProto login to a different platform and point it at my Knot without changing a thing about my hosting setup.

Much more convenient that hosting an entire, siloed webapp on my own corner of the internet.

Lots of apologia for Github here. Aside from the fact that defending a billion-dollar company is a bit strange; especially one that is steward to the the overwhelming majority of open-source software.

Maybe that's good-will doing the work? For me it's always been a sour pill to swallow that I have to buy in to a large companies internal politics and practices in order to work on projects I love. I don't feel like I owe them anything.

Especially if they can't hold up their end of the deal.

Unfettered access to the world's software repositories, for the princely sum of a bucketload of Azure credits.

My free, open-source, bare-bones, caching-free, dependency-free, authentication- and authorization-free pure PHP raw Git viewer. I developed it because GitList blew out my shared host's drive space and memory (due to a caching bug) and to consolidate my GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab repos. There's something rewarding about self-hosting and not being beholden to the whims of third parties.

quite literally kicking github while it's down!

The joke lands because everyone has quietly accepted a lot of concentration risk for the sake of convenience.

A vibe coded app that most likely contributed to the onslaught of vibe coded apps that are causing Github to go down. I feel bad for the people working at Github who are basically trying to keep a sinking ship afloat and Microsoft doing everything they can to sink their own ship.

I'm pretty sure we all took down a production enterprise system once or twice. At InVision we had an incident every week, despite all the SOPs and safety nets. And that way waaay before vibe coding..

Feature request: can you make it look like a chalk board from an old manufacturing plant in the appropriate Green? :)

That purple to blue gradient is the emdash of css.

I wonder what morale is like at github. This is like gamer level hating

Supposedly commits on GitHub are up 14x YoY.

Not buying that untill they use a picture from the Simpsons

With Github going up and down and Ubuntu going up and (mostly) down, there's a lot of time for intra-office sword fighting or whatever, lately. If somebody takes down Claude, everybody's going to have to just go home for the day. (https://xkcd.com/303/)

not joking, is there a github repo for this project?

Meanwhile, my local Gitlab install just hums along no issues.

Becoming a joke is the one think that could end the GitHub monopoly.

Love. Hope Github is a relic of the past inside 12 months

Should be 0 today AFAIK

EDIT: I’m a moron, lol.

Holy bootlickers Batman.

Microsoft is causing Github incidents when Azure data-centers are too hot and they need to make room for Palantir's workload.
