MSer here, yes we do… for some things
If GH is around the same level of integration with Microsoft as my employer, which is another Microsoft acquisition, I don't really believe you have a ton of insight into GH processes.
I'm inclined to look at tools like fossil again, for it's distributed issue tracking and wiki capability https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki
I hope they figure out what’s going on every morning. Heard from inside they don’t know why the db dies everyday but restarting it fixes it.
Yuck. Honestly, restarting a database to fix a major outage sounds like "we have no idea what we're doing"

What's "the db"? It sounds like something of small to medium scale if you can just restart it like that. In any case, why not just relocate some vendor engineers on site for a bit? Or, better, why does the vendor not have a small presence in the corner? Sounds like whatever "the db" is it's probably some (objectively) small but very scary thing that's currently on fire and people are trying to figure out how to put i…

I don't recall ReactOS, or the creators of wireguard having 'multi million dollar budgets' . How is it that even projects like RedoxOS [0] are able to self-host on a GitLab instance using a subdomain, without giant budgets in the millions? You don't need a 'multi-million dollar budget' to self-host a git repo and may of these open-source projects have been doing so even before GitHub existed for years. Even if they d…
> You don't need a 'multi-million dollar budget' to self-host a git repo I never made that claim. The argument was “if X can do it, so can you”. I pointed out that _some_of_these_ (Mozilla, likely the most extreme of them, had over $400 million in revenues in 2020), are quite different from the typical ‘you’, invalidating that argument. As always, invalidating an argument doesn’t mean its conclusion is wrong.
So when are you going to question this user [0] and others here planning to do the same thing for not having a 'multi-million dollar budget' for self-hosting their own services then?
Since clearly according to you they 'can't do it', despite me saying 'if X can do it so can someone else'. Where 'X' can be even a toy project like RedoxOS, or a messenger project like GNU Ring hosted by themselves and accessed via a subdomain.
Seems like they and other lesser known and funded open-source projects are doing just fine like that for years.

Would you rather it stay down while they spend a day debugging it?
