So Tay.ai and Zoe are still wrecking GitHub infrastructure.
Should have self hosted.

#62I would so very much love to see GitHub switch gears from building stuff like Copilot etc and focus on availability
Unless a major out(r)age forces a change of leadership, expect more slop down our throats.

#63How many 9s is GitHub at now? 2?
They're going to have to start advertising nine fives of reliability.

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
Top-down mandates to use AI as much as possible, and to rip up their infrastructure and move everything to Azure. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/using-ai-is-no-long... https://thenewstack.io/github-will-prioritize-migrating-to-a...
This is very worrying if their mandate doesn't include quality control.
Maybe they mandated to use AI for quality control?

#65I swear this is my fault. I can go weeks without doing infra work. Github does fine, I don't see any hiccups, status page is all green. But the day comes that I need to tweak a deploy flow, or update our testing infra and about halfway through the task I take the whole thing down. It's gotten to the point where when there's an outage I'm the first person people ask what I'm doing...and it's pretty dang consistent....
Plot twist: cpfohl works at Github and actually messes with the infra.

#66Lowendtalk providers who take 7$ per year deals can provide more reliability than Github at this moment and I am not kidding.
If anyone is using Github professionally and pays for github actions or any github product, respectfully, why?
You can switch to a VPS provider and self host gitea/forejo in less time than you might think and pay a fraction of a fraction than you might pay now.
The point becomes more moot because github is used by developers and devs are so so much more likely to be able to spin up a vps and run forejo and run terminal. I don't quite understand the point.
There are ways to run github actions in forejo as well iirc even on locally hosted which uses https://github.com/nektos/act under the hood.
People, the time where you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and expected basic service and no service outage issues is over.
What you are gonna get is service outage issues and lock-ins. Also, your open source project is getting trained on by the parent company of the said git provider.
PS: But if you do end up using Gitea/forejo. Please donate to Codeberg/forejo/gitea (Gitea is a company tho whereas Codeberg is non profit). I think that donating 1k$ to Codeberg would be infinitely better than paying 10k$ or 100k$ worth to Github.

Just let us know in advance when you want to do infra work from now on, alright?
Re: GitHub having issues [resolved]
#68The appearance of a thread here is so consistent that HN needs a black-bar style indicator for GH outages that points to it.
At this point I am thinking of creating a 0 days until github outage website similar to how we had the running joke of 0 days until JS framework dropped.

#69codeberg might be a little slower on git cli, but at least it's not becoming a weekly 'URL returned error: 500' situation...
I used to use codeberg 2 years ago. I may have been ahead of my time.

I rarely successfully get Codeberg URLs to load. Which is sad because I actually would very much like to recommend it but I find it unreliable as a source. That being said, GitHub is Microsoft now, known for that Microsoft 360 uptime.
I have never had this issue. IIRC Codeberg has a matrix community, they are a non-profit and they would absolutely love to hear your feedback of them. I hope that you can find their matrix community and join it and talk with them
Actually here you go, I have pasted the matrix link to their community, hope it helps https://matrix.to/#/#codeberg-space:matrix.org
