What is going on over there? Third day in a row is... kind of impressive.

Lots of copilot generated code failing

Not only Copilot, seems like some Microsoft services like Bing AI and Bing Image Creator have some issues today as well with 4xx / 5xx, and incorrect region authorization (had to switch the account region from a European country to US to make it work again on mobile)

Gitea is pretty light on resources so even though it has a extra functionality you don't need it's not really a resource pig. Unlike say, GitLab.

Gitea requires a database which is unwanted feature for "git server" in my little world. I'm just looking for "website" (read: interface) that list files over HTTPS, with the ability to show nice looking diffs. Some sort of ssh keys(?) to prevent unauthorized access etc.

Maybe something like gitweb? https://git-scm.com/docs/gitweb

I have not used it before, but it seems like it follows your requirements (Except auth using SSH keys maybe, but that could be a task for e.g. Nginx)

Gitea's ability to create a local repository as mirror of a remote repository is great for this. You can stay on Github and have your code regularly mirrored locally.

I have this setup running on a Synology NAS at home. I'm currently syncing all of my starred github repos to local storage using a short bash script that runs once a week. Once a repo is in gitea, it pulls any new updates from github every 6 hours or so. It's mostly for archival purposes, just in case something majorly bad happens to github.

Would you share your setup?

I'm interested in building the same but if yours already works well then I see no point in duplicating important work.

> Codespaces is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate. Imagine not only not being able to push your code, but also not even being able to _write your code_ at all. And so many orgs rely on Actions to even be able to deploy. Geez. I personally believe that the cloud sucks.

If you're putting all your eggs in one basket you are the only one to blame I guess.

It's sill weird to me how many and how much companies relly on Github infra.

Maybe something like gitolite then? https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite I've not used it personally though, so no idea how well it works in practise.

Thanks! Gitolite doesn't offer any UI for what I see. Also to set it up is too complicated.

I just found about "git instaweb" (developed by Git authors, but it's extra OS package) - it works locally, probably what I was looking for (minus the 100% width page layout).

BTW There's Gitblit is someone's fancy hosting Java app.

I'm going to self-host my git repos. Any recommendations? The git+nginx would suffice but it does not offer GUI. I need one to see the changes proposed (aka PRs). Gitea is nice, but a bit overkill for my needs. I don't need CI, files hosting, issues, team members, releases, wiki, forking/watching/staring, etc.

> going to self-host my git repos. Any recommendations?

Depending on your needs, this can be as simple as sticking repos on any server you have and cloning/pulling/pushing over ssh. If you want something more sophisticated, though, there's a handful of nice applications (gitea is being suggested further up-thread).

Sure!

Here's a gist to the script: https://gist.github.com/sklarsa/845152721ee9292eb01f70756b89...

As for gitea, I'm just hosting it using Docker and orchestrating using a simple docker-compose file that maps the gitea data directory to a Volume on the synology: https://gist.github.com/sklarsa/0dd6d6094dac6bf6e7bf61df9ca5...

It's all hosted on my private network at home.

From an SRE, one of their DB clusters failed. They use Vitess which is great, but it can be prone to hotspots and doesn't auto-shard. Heavy usage (esp. from large customers, rogue jobs) can take down the cluster. When it goes down, it's a PITA to resolve.

This literally isn't true and looks awfully like the talking points of one of our competitors.

What would you know, random Hacker News commen--oh. Hi Sam, carry on.

I think you may have missed the joke - they were implying Github was using Copilot internally, causing the outages, due to poor output. Not that Copilot itself was unavailable (although that may be true, also)
