Re: Days since last GitHub incident
#52I found out when Actions started failing again for the Nth time this month. The internal conversation about moving away from Actions or possibly GitHub has been triggered. I didn't like Zig's post about leaving GitHub because it felt immature, but they weren't wrong. It's decaying.
Combined with security concerns, this made us reconsider even our self-hosted GH Actions last month.
GH Packages is something we're extricating ourselves from after today too. One more outage in the next year and maybe we get the ammunition to move away from GH entirely.
It's still hard to believe that they couldn't even keep the lights on on this thing.

The Zig post has since been updated and the objectionable parts have been removed. I think we can put that part to rest.

#56At this point, is there any downside to switching to GitLab?
Re: Days since last GitHub incident
#57This is why I keep encouraging folks to a) have a mirror & b) make sure their tools automatically pick up the mirrors. I recently got mirror support upstreamed into Nixpkgs for fetchdarcs & fetchpijul which actually work on my just-alpha-released pinning tool, Nixtamal https://darcs.toastal.in.th/nixtamal/trunk/README.rst >, for just this sort of thing.
I envy you. Most of us struggle to get the resources to make our actual customer facing applications resilient, let alone our build pipeline.

What’s gitlab?
(Snarky way of saying: GitHub still has huge mindshare and networking effects, dealing with another forge is probably too much friction for a lot of projects)
Not that GitHub doesn’t suck…

Idk, if being bad is the reason for leaving Github Actions, I think people would have left it ages ago. It stuck not because it is better than competitors but because it is included in the Github plans. It's decaying implies that it has somehow became worse, in fact it was one of the worst implementation to start with.

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
Friendly reminder to stop saying friendly reminder when what you're saying isn't a reminder.
For any ESL folks here - "Friendly reminder" is typically used for reminding people of common knowledge. Especially for beneficial but inconvenient things that some or most people neglect to do, either because they're annoying, inconvenient, or time consuming. Things for which busy people might need a "wink wink, nudge nudge". Friendly reminder to floss. Friendly reminder to have your cancer screening. Friendly remin…
You’re assuming that no native speaker is unfamiliar with the idiom and also that no ESL speaker is familiar with it.
