I spent a bunch of time during the outage last week setting up forgejo and some custom action runners. At the time, I was worried I was wasting time and getting distracted from my real work...alas, I guess not. Gonna finish up that work and complete the move today.

They have that-ish as an option: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/dat... I'm told that GitHub has asserted to us that moving to this model means we would not be exposed to github.com outages. It's not at feature parity with github.com though.
Do you have any meaningful level of faith in GitHub's ability to deliver on stability? At this point, I have none.
This has been a bad time, though. I'm ready to move back to self-hosting if they can't get it together or we move to GHDR and it's still bad.

Azure's going to suffocate github. I'm curious to see what's next. Will self-hosting the code repository come back in vogue or will another social-coding platform take off?
We should worry less about what everyone else uses, and more about what we use. I'm self-hosting Gitea and thinking of upgrading to Forgejo. What are you using?
But GitHub, in its heyday, was a centre. Created a sense of "community"
It has taken a while, but since MS bought it it has been shirking that. I expected honest enshittification, but instead it has been technical collapse
What ever.
IMO we need a federation protocol for Git that can rebuild some sort of "community", but on solid foundations.
So we can find one another on our self hosted instances
I noticed earlier this week that my URL bar now pre-fills githubstatus.com instead of github.com when I type "gith"
As a joke I built an extension to the GitHub CLI called “omens” so you can run “gh omens” before you’re planning to use GitHub and it’ll tell you if it’s likely to work in idiomatic Aussie. As an example: $> gh omens reckon github's about to go full bin chicken —- You can find it here: https://github.com/sandermvanvliet-stack/gh-omens
LOL is this really something Aussie's say? That’s hilarious!

Well, the alternatives are: > It would be really cool if someone built an extension to show GitHub status live "These already exist, why wouldn't you search before posting?" > There exist quite a few extensions to show live GitHub status "Why would you not post them if you know they exist?" Or, what actually happened: > Here are some extensions that might work for you to show live GitHub status "Why would you recomme…
> "Why would you recommend extensions to do this?" This is not my complaint though, my complain is: Why would you recommend extensions you haven't tried nor even read about yourself? The goal isn't to pick apart the message to piss someone off, the goal is prevent someone else than the author from getting hacked because they install some random extension, not understanding what kind of access you're giving others whe…
Is all content in HN supposed to be professional and serious, or are humorous comments in fact allowed when discussing a market leading company who has had regular outages for a year and a half? (Yes, I know the actual reasons why GitHub are struggling.)

I have tabs from like 6 months ago. Modern browsers have gotten pretty good at hibernating unused tabs and restore when needed. And this website is extremely light, it gets restored in milliseconds.
I hording my tab in case I need them later (I don't, 99% of the case) but I always have sense of fear that I might need it someday

Fun read about Azure and having 173 agents running a node: https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporize... Probably just a coincidence that Github started to have issues after beginning their move to Azure at the end of last year.
