#13This is a bit... low-effort, isn't it?

#14[flagged]
because Microsoft are known for listening to their customers? this trivial bug fix took more than a year to be merged: https://github.com/actions/runner/pull/3157 that bug likely ended up costing customers millions
So many people here treat github like it's a utility; it's not. If you're not happy with it, move on to alternatives or make your own version.

#16However this means I'm now using the Github website and services 1000x more than I was previously, and they're trending towards having coin-flip uptime stats.
If Github sold a $5000 box I could plug into a corner in my house and just use that entire experience locally I'd seriously consider it. I'm guessing maybe I could get partway there by spending twice that on a Mac Pro but I have no idea what the software stack would look like today.
Is there a fully local equivalent out-of-the-box experience that anyone can vouch for? I've used local agents primarily through VSCode, but AFAIK that's limited to running a single active agent over your repo, and obviously limited by the constraints of running on a single M1 laptop I currently use. I know at least some people are managing local fleets of agents in some manner, but I really like how immensely easy Github has made it.

#19Oh nice - I'm literally playing around with a site to detect outages for major provides (AWS/cloudflare/github) based on social media/HN posts
