Last time these intermittent incidents happened was days ago and for this exact same incident was 11 days ago. [0]

After everything announced in GitHub Universe and with that to improve the reliability of GitHub overall, yet we have another incident afterwards.

It doesn't matter what GitHub does, only you can decide for yourself to self-host rather than going all in on GitHub and it continues to go down.

Predicted this 6 years ago and self hosting has aged perfectly well. [1]

We use a self hosted gitlab-ce instance which has pretty high up time running on a 10 year old server (and its backup)

Takes a few minutes a month to update and babysit. We only basically use the CI and the repository functionality though so gitlab has been "feature complete" for us for a while. Probably I we could swap to something like gitea or forgeo but the gitlab CI seems like a nice balance between powerful when it needs to be and simple otherwise for our use case so there is nothing driving us to swap.

Yep. Ironically this downtime is currently delaying our ongoing migration to self-hosted forgejo...
