Alright, cue the usual: Monoculture bad Microsoft bad Git is distributed but all the things around it that we really need aren't You can set up git to push to multiple remotes automatically Nobody is actually using git in distributed mode Did I forget anything?
The usual fluff about migrating away to Gitlab?
Justyna yesterday I was complaining about GitHub monoculture in the context of Atlassian sunsetting Mercurial. Outages like this are normal, but the problem is lack of good competitors.
There are quite a decent list of competitors, all of which have similar or sometimes better offerings. There are also plenty of fully free and open source solutions, should you want to do things yourself. The Github monopoly is driven by its users.

The problem is bad design and/or integration of components. VMS clusters over leased lines went years without outages. Record was 17 years at a rail yard. They also did rolling upgrades across both different OS versions and CPU architectures . The methods are public if any competitors want to match or exceed them: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na... These modern cloud services using Linux…
VMS clusters were (and modern equivalents are) awesome, but they have a different speed of innovation / development.
It is a trade off - perfect uptime, but that new feature could take a year, or 99.9% uptime, but it can be written and deployed tomorrow.

I see posts like this make the front page of hacker news every so often, but I don't recall seeing posts about things like making list outages for something like the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) or an IRC network like Freenode.
