#52If anybody is looking for alternatives, self host Woodpecker is really easy and it's a very capable CI/CD https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/intro

#55Nothing like the old "everything is normal" to only be corrected 8 minutes later it is actually still down and then 2 hours later they are still working on it.

#56How did they get Github Pages into “degraded performance”? Aren’t those just CDN stored static pages?
Already built pages are still being served, but I've been waiting for 3 hours for an action to rebuild a single fix to a broken link.

#57Have there ever been a comprehensive account from a GitHub insider on why their reliability tanked so hard since the MSFT acquisition?
I'm genuinely curious what changed, what their processes are and how they internally think about their reputation being in the gutter with all these incidents.

There are three other things I could be doing instead, but I noticed it was down when I pushed the last of my GH todo list for the day and my brain is stuck in closure-seeking.
I should eat lunch.

#59Can't wait for the Graphite/Cursor alternative (Origin) to become available. Actions being down for an hour in the middle of the US East workday is crazy. It's super frustrating to be an enterprise customer of Github, seems like we don't get any dedicated resources or additional stability. At this point our only option is self-host github enterprise or move away.
Would you move hosting/CI before Origin is available, or are you basically stuck on GitHub until then?

#60It's been hours :(
I have sympathy for the on-call team trying to resolve it, most of us have been there done that.
But seems something is systematically going wrong at GH
