Hopefully it's just them reverting their latest UI changes

What's wrong with them? Maybe it's because I do not use project management features much, but I like new UI more.

My main dislikes are slow, lazy loading, and that you can’t read the last commit messages without extra clicks of the “...” button. Even in pull requests I’ve seen new commits show up without the message (and clicking the expand button, it closed itself after a few seconds).

There have been some other annoyances/changes in behaviour that have bugged me too, but mostly stopped remembering them because am resigned to it now.

in my build pipeline, I query several different package hosts (npm, pypi, docker-hub etc) and Github/Gitlab. If any of them is unavailable, the build fails.

What's the best way to keep my own copy of the packages my software needs (and their dependencies), so that my build process is less fragile? Ideally, I'd only have to rely on those 3rd party platforms to download new versions or have them as a backup.

When relying on my own copy of required packages - can I expect much faster builds?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Honestly throw the thing in a bin and use an old mini pc instead. Lenovo thinkcentre tiny. You can pick them up on eBay for about the same as a fully equipped pi. Pi is 100% not suitable for 100% duty work. It’s just a toy.

As someone who's been running a media server and home automation server on his Pi 24/7 for 3 years now, I beg to differ.

I’ve had 6 so far and all have had reliability issues or weirdness. Mostly related to SD corruption, crashing or power brown out. The power issue was not solved by running them off a proper keysight bench supply.

SD cards are quite frankly horrible boot media as well.

I've used Nexus for a while without any issues.

I know Github is down because I'm trying to update a kops cluster, but Github breaks it > kops update cluster error reading channel "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kops/master/channels/stable": unexpected response code "500 Internal Server Error" for "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kops/master/channels/stable": 500: Internal Server Error

See, I like the idea of K8S quite a lot. Enough that I decided to set up a cluster from scratch to figure out how everything ties together. I've since grown to strongly dislike how much of the entire ecosystem seems to depend on random unversioned Github gists or direct links into a raw file in a repo somewhere.

This actually is testament to the fact that the github used to be that damn reliable at one point.

You can opt-in to this now. It is a preview functionality, i guess it will be GA in a couple of weeks.

This is a nice reminder that you can have multiple remote repos and push/pull to all of them at the same time. For my side projects I usually use both github and google cloud source (I use gcp). If one is down the other is still available and then just resync when service is recovered.

Are you thinking like this?:

ITT: Lots of Github hate. Dont forget that change in software is inherently risky and will result in bugs, etc. Id rather have a platform that is always looking to make things better and risking a bit of downtime, than a stale platform that we all know we depend on.

I think the issue here is that Github is considered a mature product and it just works.

So is there any actual pressure to move fast and break things?
