People are advocating hosting their own Git repos, but wouldn't those go down, too, and wreck the day even more?
Or, are you guys all devops geniuses better than those who work at GitHub?

#12This is slowly becoming a weekly occurrence ever since Microsoft entered the picture... https://www.githubstatus.com/
I remember it being a weekly occurrence before Microsoft as well.
edit: though their historical data doesn't back it up. It's just a 2020 thing it seems; coincidentally picked up right near the middle of February which correlates way too closely with the beginning of COVID.

I might just self-host Gitea on my Pi today
I was going to warn you about SD card corruption, but then I realized even this is probably more reliable than GitHub at this point.
I personally haven't experienced any SD card corruption, even though I am running a Maria-DB instance, Home-Assistant instance and a Pi-Hole instance on a Pi Zero with a 32 gig SD Card ( 23 days uptime as of writing )

But those wouldn't take most of the world's public git repos down all at once just because of a single issue. Single points of failure have a bad reputation for a reason.

Of course everything goes down one day or another, it's just it's been a very common occurrence with Github recently.
When my own side-project has more uptime than Github, there's something wrong somewhere.

Git is notionally decentralized. It should be neither as difficult or uncommon as it is to have multiple repositories, but we have collectively let convenience get in the way of reliability.

#17I know Github is down because I'm trying to update a kops cluster, but Github breaks it

Well, if you host it yourself, and it goes down, then you have control over getting it back up, rather than waiting for someone else to fix it.
Though really, if it is that important for it to be up, you should mirror it to at least one other provider (ex. self-hosted and github).

Umm, so if you are hosting your own Git Repos, and not fiddling with the configurations much once you have found the perfect fit.
Isn't the only reason it will go down be because of network issues or power failure? What other possible cause could be for system failure?
I have been running HA, Pi-Hole, Maria-DB and my own API instances on my Raspberry Pi and in the 22 days of uptime till now, there have been 0 failures

People are mad/frustrated/busy, that's how it goes
