Just went to push code and found this out.

Interesting that the status page was updated immediately. Is this the norm now? I remember back in the day when status pages showed all green even when servers were clearly down for a long time already.

Gasp! immediately builds a complete git alternative to never expirence a single second of downtime ever again

Coincidentally (?) we’ve seen a huge uptick in failed login attempts to our MFA-protected admin accounts on our self-hosted Gitlab CE instance today. They’re coming from thousands of IPs across hundreds of networks (VPS providers and, apparently, residential proxies).

Right, on to another alternative now

You can use GitSocial to mirror to your own bucket for situations like this: `gitsocial mirror https://gitlab.com/owner/repo s3://s3.example.com/mybucket/repo` https://gitsocial.org/

Another day, another reminder why we self-host our GitLab instance. Cloud convenience always has these kinds of trade-offs.

I like what tangled seems like it could be but it's still too new to really use. It'd be nice if it was more of an aggregator for git servers where still access a git server whether tangled is up or not.

Seems they can compete with GitHub after all! /s
