When you self host, what happens with your compute costs? CI can be super expensive depending upon your test pipeline. Do you end up spending more than you would with GitHub actions for example?

Huh? The VPS boxes have a fixed monthly fee

He is likely referring to the CI runners. Gitea has their own version of Actions runner. It is very much usable, though currently inferior to GitHub Actions (not always a 1:1 replacement, even though they aim for it to be): https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/

Cost as always depends on your usage, but it will likely be less than your current cost of GitHub Actions.

I object to the notion that having "american born engineers" is the cause of their issues.

Yeah, that was unnecessary. Incompetent are born and work everywhere. In this case, Microsoft's problem with GitHub is trying to shove the square peg that is GitHub in to the round hole that is Azure.

I have worked with some "american born engineers" that were some of the least competent people I've ever seen, while getting paid 2x or 3x of some "foreign contractors" on the same team

> We are seeing an approximate 20% error rate across numerous experiences including Pull Requests, Issues, and others. Investigations are currently under way and we will be posting updates as they become available Well it's 100% down for me, so does this mean 20% of all users are fully down?

It means it doesn't count towards their uptime at all, I guess, because all their uptime stats are very high for a service that is down more than anything else I use

Copy/paste of a comment I posted a couple months ago: I am not trying to make any excuses for GitHub, however I recall one tweet that made my eyes bug-out: > Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.) > GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week i…

That's fine, but rate limiting is a solved problem at this point. They need to rate-limit free accounts and be realistic about their limits instead of letting the system fail.

Probably can't do that easily due to shitty engineering decisions in the past
