I could not resist to put my sarcastic comment about RAM price increases serving a good cause in there.

Having just had to buy 4TB of RAM, I appreciate this.

That's like 100,000 USD. I keep thinking about making a rap video wearing a 10 TB gold chain surrounded by big booty girls with their naughty bits covered in m.2 SSD's while dissing the AI industry. Though I cant afford the RAM :-/

Fixed in about 30m to an hour. Definitely annoying, but I'll try the hot take that, contrary to popular belief, GH is not critical infrastructure - or so I hope. Please tell me no part of the Ukrainian air defense system depends on a gh action hook.

It's not critical, but there's still a lot of reliance on it.

It's also the only reason why I still need IPv4.

Good thing git is a distributed system

Virtually no one knows how to do anything with it outside of github.

Your favorite search engine or LLM will show you in a second, it's really easy.

The problem is that it's not enough. The fact that Github uses Git specifically is a technical detail; it could use mercurial equally easily, as Bitbucket used to. Github Actions, OWNERS files, PRs and review tools, issue tracker, wiki are all not Git features.

Unless some major customers are moving away, I don't think they are going to seriously care about it.

I suspect some companies may already be considering it. Especially with the wealth of alternatives today.

Companies are already using on-premise GitHub server, if they are using GitHub in the first place. There are many other self hosted solutions which are quite common in enterprise environment.

like most rap videos do with cars/jets/mansions, just rent the ram sticks for a few hours!

What kind of alternatives do you see as viable for large(ish) commercial users?

GitHub on-prem. Officially called GitHub Enterprise Server. You can have GitHub, but hosted on your own servers.

I believe it is an Azure outage or some type of MS service - everything on Azure is down.

having no issues on azure here, seeing no azure incidents on the status page or any of my admin panels

> seeing no azure incidents on the status page

… in all seriousness, that is hardly proof that Azure isn't having an outage.
