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.

If you need to self-host, self-host. Sourcehut is obviously not a replacement for that.

But, if not: It is different because Drew DeVault is scathingly anti-AI, and has a history of sticking to strong opinions (for better or worse). Seems like the best bet for off-premise source control if you are concerned about AI scraping and downtime.

Been noticing this all day.. various workflows failing in weird ways.. strange UI issues... Literally holding off on our deployment for a day... bad enough it seems like I'm fixing a CI/CD breakage once a month or more.

For the record, it's failing silently, too, showing e.g. "There aren’t any open pull requests." even though there are dozens. That's pretty bad, this will definitely mislead people.

Or last week's "If you use merge queue, oopsie, we accidentally destroyed your trunk", which also failed silently.

We happen to build the perfect solution to avoiding GitHubs Merge Queue - ours :)

It’s also massively more performant

Yeah I think I've finally had enough. I need to start seriously advocating for alternatives since this is starting to impact our business. It's clearly not getting any better.

If you want a GitHub-like UI (with org/repo structure limitations) use either Forgejo or Gitea. If you want a similar but different experience use GitLab. If you want something more akin to the kernel experience (i.e. hosting, flexible repository structure, user auth via ssh keys, and a simple web UI) use gitolite with cgit, or alternatively gitweb.

There's always gerrit.

I mean, technically it's a code review platform, not a complete toolbox like Gitlab and co, but damn if it isn't the most professional feeling experience.

I like the experience of exploring new repositories so I switched everything to codeberg which is where most of the projects I'm interested with are
