So frustrating. You can only experience so many of these outages before you seriously have to start questioning whether it makes sense to continue to use GitHub (and many have already long since reached this point)

We switched to self-hosted GitLab several outages ago

Yeah, switched over to self-hosted Gitlab back in mid-June and feels like the right choice

Just don't expose them to the internet. They have a lot of CVEs latey, some even allowing full control

How would that work out for remote workers and agents?

Yup am running too for 2 years now and love it. It’s my favorite service. Uptime is basically 100% since it’s only down when I’m doing server maintenance (apt get update and reboot) and then I’m not pushing anyway.

I implemented my own, it was time well spent.

The features I care about work as I want them to, the features I don't care about are kinda janky.

I visit https://status.github.com it is the second suggestion, after https://github.com/ itself.

Dead in the water for actions that are merge requirements here.

I don't know them, and am not an investor, but I'm trying Blacksmith as a GHA alternative because I'm losing my mind over the regular downtime. Apparently all the cool kids already use it, so... Obviously this doesn't help at all with Webhooks.

update: first jobs are green already. migration took 5 minutes. so far so good.

Codeberg has been pretty stable for me

Wonder how soon GitHub will tighten rate limits on OSS GitHub further and start charging per API call like x.com did to weed out bots...

Not being able to isolate OSS and Enterprise workloads properly is also quite the downer.

If you believe Twitter "weed[ed] out the bots" I have a bridge to sell you.

I'm not saying bots/LLMs aren't making GitHub's job harder but I saw an uptime graphic with a pretty stark and obvious change pre/post acquisition by Microsoft.

There has been degradation in their copilot cloud agent in the last few weeks (sessions erroring/disappearing, connections not working, etc) that is not on a status dashboard.
