They... Didn't describe RAID? More 3-2-1.
The last sentence in the comment is literally "RAID is the way".
It's crazy to us how Github Actions have these issues but Azure DevOps never has these hiccups for us even though we hear they're on the "same infra". We're happy to stick with DevOps.
I think Anthropic should buy Github after buying bun and everything in between.

Scaling to human use vs automated/agentic use is a very different thing.
Github has had horrible uptime for years, before agentic use was a thing. The killer was Microsoft.

It's an eye opener. Think about it - today, it was a mistake. But, what if it really happened? What if you really lost access to all your years of hard work? It's a wake up call. A blessing in disguise to store what matters to you the most locally, backed up offline. Never trust any single provider. Be it MS or Google or Apple. RAID is the way.
I recently got my GitHub account suspended for 4 months. When it was finally reinstated, their support just said it was a "mistake". Proudly self-hosting Forgejo since then.

Fully self-hosted IMO can be an overcorrection. The issue isn’t “relying on other people”—it’s relying on GitHub, when they’ve made it clear they don’t care about uptime and they don’t care about support turn-around-time.
My 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.
Same. It's weird how I always find out that GitHub is down before GitHub does. Took 15 minutes before it appeared on githubstatus.com
There's a threshold. It shows only once 1000 users complain.

People should use something that keeps a local copy of their code and just copies it to Github and to other contributors with a sync process to push and pull changes. Some sort of 'distributed source control system' maybe. Then people would only need a 'hub' to connect to people, and it'd be easier to move somewhere else.
This gets tiresome. Github is a lot more than a host for Git repositories. If you want to suggest that people use something else, you need to suggest a replacement that has the features people use Github for.
