For the past hour, the PR or Issues pages would load with 0 items. Occasionally, there’s an error toast mentioning ‘failure to fetch data’.
I am once again here to say that my gitea has better uptime since I deployed it. It's way snappier too. Long live self-hosting. Diversify from the cloud, build your own!
"intermittent" is kind of underselling a failure on ~9/10 page loads
Github has been having issues since the Microsoft acquisition. https://damrnelson.github.io/github-historical-uptime/
That's damning. I wonder what it will look like over the next 13 months as more and more code is written by ai

Wtf. Why is that?
They are migrating from their own datacenters to Azure
Hate GitHub being down, plus hate AI stealing your code? Join sourcehut--it has worked great for me, and I'd love to see it flourish as a platform.
How is sourcehut different? It’s just yet another centralized service.

I don't think that chart shows what it seems like it shows. There were plenty of pre-2018 outages that don't show up there: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1545696000&dateRange=custom&...
An alternate interpretation of that chart is "After the microsoft acquisition, they got serious about actually tracking outages."
That said, anecdotally, it's felt much worse over the last 6 months. I'd guess it's a combination of MS-induced quality drops and AI-induced scale increases.

Yeah, collaboration usually requires some sort of centralisation. Whether that is the LKML+git.kernel.org, gitlab.gnome.org, salsa.debian.org or Sourcehut, or GitHub. At least Sourcehut isn't completely proprietary and shoving AI down your throat at every possible chance. The same can be said for Codeberg and almost any GitLab CE, Gitea or Forgejo instance

GitHub is in a tight space right now. The pace of software development is increasing and they are in a load-bearing position. In addition, their GitHub Copilot license was a massive loss-leader both directly costing them money, and making the traffic problem even worse. Simply put, they aren't prioritizing scaling and reliability like they need to be in this current situation and instead are focusing on feature build outs that boil down to being Microsoft's AI Middleman Salesperson.
Their position is hard, but they are potentially fumbling the ball in a big way. I for one don't trust them to not be down right before I want to do a production deploy.
