Days without GitHub incidents

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

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

Supposedly commits on GitHub are up 14x YoY.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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/ )

quite literally kicking github while it's down!

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

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

https://repo.autonoma.ca/treetrek 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.

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.

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

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

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.
