This 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 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.
The Zig post has since been updated and the objectionable parts have been removed. I think we can put that part to rest.
It may have been updated, but nobody is reading the update.
I've gotten accustomed lately to spending a lot of time in the Github Copilot / agent management page. In particular I've been having a lot of fun using agents to browse some of my decade-old throwaway projects; telling it to "setup playwright, write some tests, record screenshots/videos and commit them to the repo" works every time and it's a great way to browse memory lane without spending my own time getting some…
An NVIDIA DGX Spark is $4000, pair that with a relatively cheap second box to run GitLab in the corner and you would have pretty good local AI inference setup. (you'd probably have to write a nontrivial amount of software to get your setup where you want) The local models are just right on the edge of being really useful, there's a tipping point to where accuracy is high enough so that getting things done is easy vs…
Adding Claude to my rotation is starting to look like the option with the least amount of building the universe from scratch. I have to imagine it can be used in a similar or identical workflow to the Copilot one where it can create PRs and make adjustments in response to feedback etc.

Anger is a communication tool. It should absolutely be used when boundaries are being violated. Otherwise you’ll get walked all over.

I don't work at Github but I'd read here recently that they've been undergoing a herculean migration from whichever cloud provider they were on to Azure since their Microsoft acquisition, and that it coincides with an increase in outages. I'm guessing that the solution here was probably just to not do that and it's too late.

I've been getting some weird cryptocurrency spam notifications on GitHub and they can't be cleared for some reason. Blue dot is gonna be there forever apparently. Some users made an issue out of it but nobody cared to fix it.

I had the same issue too, and this was the only thing that fixed it for me.
