Shameless plug: I wrote a small service to monitor the status of many cloud services (github included) in one page http://isserviceup.com

next step: notify (email/slack/twitter/chrome extension/sms) subscribers when a service is back (or down?)

Is that not an extended variation of the https://cachethq.io logo?

I don't think it can really be considered copying another company when both companies' logos are basically a Font Awesome icon[1,2].

No offense to either company; their logos are pragmatic.

2. http://fontawesome.io/icon/check-square-o/

There it is again: Friday the 13th. Well, it's time for home and side projects.

Yes, that's right, for sure. You just need enough people talking about something in a scary enough way to then become apprehensive about it yourself. Once that happens it’s very easy not only to worry, but also to tie all minor negative events that could happen at any given time to the superstition.

Too bad git is a distributed version control system, so you have your repositories locally and can continue work without remote access.

The specific problem today is that I have changes on my home PC that I finished and pushed up to Github last night, but now I can't get them at work this morning, because my home PC is behind a firewall. Also, my IP address is not static, so there's no guarantee I'll even be able to find it to make it a remote.

Obligatory Gogs plug: https://gogs.io It also has an awesome automatic mirror mode that can remain sync'd to a remkte repository. I don't care what your company does or how you run it, but please don't just rely on Github to host your code without a mirror somewhere. There are drawbacks to this incessant centralization.

I have been using gogs on a raspberry pi for my personal use and I really like it. My use case has mostly been for hosting repositories that I don't want to share publicly or use for my personal needs.

Instead of Gogs it is now recommended to use Gitea, since it has more activity (~400 more commits last time I checked) and is community driven: https://gitea.io/ According to their Blog: Gitea is a community fork of the popular self-hosted Git service Gogs. We’re a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus decided to make an effor…

Is there any particular reason why this is recommended over Gogs?
