I can't even get to the issue where they're tracking this any more. At least the status page is on different infra though, hopefully they'll keep it updated.

GitLab employee here. That is correct - we also will be posting updates here: https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus/ .

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is why we have "fortnightly" in the English language.

ok

The word fortnight is in common parlance. Four score is not. But for the record the term bi-weekly is still confusing.

Obligatory "is bi-weekly 2 or 0.5 times a week" confusion comment ;) Though from the context it's 2.

This is why we have "fortnightly" in the English language.

TIL:

"A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (2 weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertyne niht, meaning "fourteen nights".

I can't be the only one that feels that GitLab has extended downtime at least weekly, sometimes bi-weekly.

Our self-hosted GitLab instance is running fine!

Yup; I just updated ours to 13.9.4 and it was seamless as always (EE version).

Github seems to be doing worse

Yes. They (GitHub) have been doing a lot worse. Last time I checked, they where completely down 2 days ago. [0] Before that, GitHub Actions was down 14 days ago: [1].

At least with GitLab, you can set up a self-hosted solution for free as a backup, unlike GitHub (Unless you want to pay a lot for GH Enterprise) where some have 'gone all in on GitHub Actions' and then some couldn't push that critical change [2] before the start of the weekend. Oh dear.

Maybe its time to setup a self-hosted backup VCS and not depend entirely on GitHub/GitLab web.

I use gitlab daily and have not experienced any outage in last 6 months probably.

6 months is a pretty low bar for a SCM tool.
