Some of my jobs are completing, some are failing. Seems to be random. Kind of wish they would just fail outright, instead of running for 10 minutes and then failing.

#12Seems like outages are increasingly more frequent nowadays. Obviously, this is not the best state of affairs, and developers should not be limited by services. In the meantime I've been experimenting with building third spaces for people to chill while they wait for the services they are dependent on to go back up.
The first one I've built is a little ASCII hangout for Claude @ https://clawdpenguin.com but threads like this make me want to build it for Github too.

#13I am this > < close to just running Gogs or Forgejo on some Hetzner boxes, quit my job, charge people for access. Why aren't there like 10 startups doing this yet? Please? I want to give you my money. Just give me a git host that doesn't suck. (All the current ones suck)

#14It would be wild if they dropped below the "two 9's" metric. I think they would need an additional ~16hr of outage in the 90 day rolling period.
https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ suggests that their combined uptime doesn't even meet 1 nine, let alone 2.
ya i was just doing the math on their chart for the git operations. I added up 14.93 hours combined hours, which puts them WAY lower than the reported 99.7 metric they show right next to it.
So based on their own reporting, the uptime number should be 99.31. Which means only like 6 additional hours and they'd fall below 99.0%

#17I've been on a somewhat binge to move a bunch of stuff to self-hosting at home. Yesterday I finally completed my self-hosted Forgejo instance at home, together with Linux, Windows (via VM) and macOS (via Mac Mini) runners/workers for CI/CD, so everything finally lives in-house (literally), instead of all source code + Actions being on GitHub but the infrastructure actually living locally.
This is probably the first time I felt vindicated with my self-hosting move literally the day after I finished the migration, very pleasant feeling. Usually it takes a month or two before I get here.

Re: Incident with multple GitHub services
#19what are the good alternatives available for github i find some alternative but as long as widely people use github i cant use other service right like i cant share my alternative to other developer and force him to use this for me. so i feel like i locked in even i want to move i can't

#20Microsoft again.
I think it is time that Microsoft lets go of GitHub. They are handling it too poorly.
