Yeah but you thought about it, didn’t you?

#14Insane, we have to come up with contingency plans now for long-duration GitHub outages because we can't safely do deployments. For a service we're paying thousands of $ per year for even though we host runners ourselves...

#15oh man spent so much time trying to debug what's going on. I have a complex setup with GitHub Actions and self hosted runners so I thought it's something broken in my CI setup

#16Why do they go down so often? Is it true that the reason is that they've incorporated too much AI without human review?

Same here. You’d think they could at least separate out the GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners, so you’re still able to dispatch jobs if the self-hosted runners are down.

Ugh, same. 30 mins with 2 devs trying to figure it out before they posted an update.

#19My action failed with "Unexpected error fetching GitHub release for tag refs/heads/master: HttpError: Sorry. Your account was suspended"
Which certainly made me shit myself, briefly.

#20Another outage at GitHub with actions and pages not working thanks to the AI agents Copilot and Tay.ai creating more issues. Last time this happened was 6 days ago. [0]
This time today it was caused by friendly fire by the automatic suspension of the GitHub Actions bot which is now a "Ghost" user. Since there is no CEO of GitHub to contact it we are just going to see more [1] of this again.
You might need to push a critical change soon, but now you cannot. You won't get any of these issues if you self hosted as I said 6 years ago...[2]
