Yes. It is incredibly frustrating that everything is hosted on GitHub nowadays. I wanted to install Bazzite (a Linux distro!) and I cannot download their ISO, I cannot download their recommended partition tool, I cannot even download Rufus to start formatting some drives. And then you go and check their status page and you get the "all good nothing wrong here". So annoying

Why doesn't https://www.githubstatus.com reflect this accurately?

I usually check this and then doubt my network might be at fault if they don't show outages.

I'd recommend the free (as in freedom) Git alternative to everyone: Codeberg. Super lightweight, without that vicious circle of knowing your code is being used to train AI. Free for hobby projects, and reasonably viable for professional ones.

They seem to be having an issue with release downloads (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/212407).

Our CI is broken at the moment, unable to download tools used in various checks (gitleaks, etc).

504 from Firefox not logged in and works from Safari which is logged in. CDN error perhaps?

Oh man it's really struggling.

Github being host on Azure, this is really bad PR for their cloud and technical prowess.

504 gateway timeout only when logged-out. Authenticated access seems to be normal at my side.

currently trying to get out of my GitHub "enterprise" plan. Waiting patiently for the required support ticket to see if that is possible

We seem to be seeing `Github Down` pretty regularly but that seems to be mostly the public facing ones. In the last one year that I have been using Enterprise Github regularly, I don't remember it being down anytime.

I read recently that number of commits on github platform increased 5 times over the year - their infrastructure is under heavy load. It's due to AI revolution. Stay tuned to see 5x more features in your favorite apps. Great times are coming :-)

It's been down for >30 minutes. Status page of course says everything is fine. 504 when downloading releases, so CI and Terraform don't work.

funny yo post a github down again (?) with a link pointing to github.com

Regular reminder that if you just need a remote to collaborate with others and don't need stars commit graphs and all that social coding aspects, you can just host your git repo yourself on any cheap VPS.

Man, it happens more and more that I can’t work because nix can’t fetch something from git or my elixir build fails because it needs to fetch a release from GitHub.

Even if I change my CI to something else, all the dependencies depend on GitHub (Not like there exists a cheap/free alternative where nix packages could be hosted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Can't see commit pages.

jhgkblv • today at 10:20 AM

seriously, what do you guys need to finally get off github? being on github is a huge liability these days.

I have an agent automatically commit code hundreds of times to a private repo every day. sorry for contributing to the ddos.

dom96 • today at 10:09 AM

Works for me

BoingBoomTschak • today at 10:11 AM

Just another day in "Azure code", I guess.
