The GitHub failure unicorn image always brings me back to the good old days of trying out new Android ROMs. That unicorn used to be the logo of the Android Open Kang Project, which used to be my favorite ROM.
I wonder how it made it onto GitHub.
1) Issues showed unicorn. Reloading page.
2) Issues showed Not found.
Anyway, GitHub Actions for building new release has progress. Good enough.
You know, I think Fossil with its integrated issue management right in the repo is actually a perfect match for the LLM era. Maybe today is the day I migrate to using a Fossil forge with GitHub becoming increasing untenable.
Anyone else using Fossil?
If someone needs lightweight self hosted git server with ci pipelines via general programming languages - consider DSCI - http://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io
Has Github Enterprise Server been isolated from these issues? Presumably it has because it's self hosted
I remember a few years back when there was 2 major outages per month.
Thankfully this is encouraging me to stop working overtime for now and enjoy the rest of my night
Can’t wait for the Kevin Fang video
You would think for a company that has close to a monopoly of developer mind share wrt git that they'd maybe put in the bair minimum to get several 9s.
If you are required to use a Microsoft tool is Azure DevOps now a better choice? Our Azure hosted instance rarely (if ever) has had an outage that effects our ability to work.
A self-hosted git-based issue tracker like Epiq [1] seems more relevant by each day going forward.
Anyone remember the end of the .com era? This feels early similar.
So whats the alternative? I'm thinking I'll migrate my company to something self hosted, but what about personal projects?
Maybe they should charge a little more per action, and the onslaught would stop.
Seems like a simple solution.
Githubs a great advert as to why you shouldn't use Azure. What an utter mess its become since they took over. Their argument that its scaling issues due to increased traffic just makes them and Azure look incompetent.
On the bright side, they were pretty fast on the Incident Declaration this time.
This is what happens when you try to run on Azure.
Time to write code on stone plates
Just going to leave this here - self hosted forgejo on fly.io with restic backups: https://forgejo-fly.fly.dev/forgejo-admin/forgejo-fly
Dear Mr AI. Please code a new GitHub for me and my friends. Make no mistakes.
As sure as it is Monday....
Does either Google or Amazon (the two other large cloud providers besides Microsoft) operate its own alternative?
"oh shit, here we go again"
Okay, enoughs enough, time to migrate our org.
It's DNS issue, i'm telling ya!
great
So much for "git is decentralized" lol
As I said 4 days ago GitHub is in chronic operational decline which is killing trust in hosting repositories [0]
You can use as many AI agents as you want (it won’t solve the problem), but with that many outages ever since getting bought by Microsoft, it is more than enough time to give them to change. They don’t care and there is no CEO of GitHub to help either.
A self hosted instance would have much better uptime than GitHub and GitHub Actions at this point as I predicted 6 years ago. [1]
i dont even know why people not using alternatives like gitlawb
kagi's still up, so I was able to learn about alternatives. At this point github should just be your write-only mirror for publishing & discovery.
Question to those who work at Github…what the heck is going on? Why?
Oh, shit, here we go again...
And I just wondered why I couldn't update my nix flake lol
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Is that even news at this point?
Yes, github now has issues. Github is always having issues.
I have one client that relies on github. Just one, out of dozens I've worked with over the years.
It's just a constant pain in the ass.
Wherever I have anything to say I prefer ANY other gitforge over this piece of shit.

Well, at least their status page is up.
I slowly but surely lowered my expectations.
