#92Love that HN is a better status page for dev services than most companies can manage to provide. Knew I'd find it here but on the front page within 3 minutes is impressive.
I guess when GitHub goes down, it is somehow strangely tolerated for years even after the acquisition and goes down more times than Twitter. When the latter encounters a speed-bump, just like the 'interview' with Trump, it's global news because a Mr Elon Musk owns it.
Both seem to be doing too much all at once. But really it is worse with Github if this is what Microsoft stewardship is incidents every, single week and each month guaranteed for years.
Anyways. #hugops for the GitHub team.
Re: GitHub was down
#93Yes it went down about 5 mins ago, I got the angry unicorn. Since then the status page is increasingly red.
Seeing it all kind of went sideways at the same time, my money is on the typical load balancer config rollout snafu.

#95Yep
Re: GitHub was down
#96Would this explain why "npm install next-sanity" doesn't work properly, or am I hitting a user error?
Re: GitHub was down
#97I see more and more people use less Github, but some other git solutions. I am afraid to think what to do when GitHub is down for hours (need to learn maillists?). Another reason is that MS may be in phase when it will ask to pay for using GitHub just for reads (rate limiter).
I recently looked into using Git in a decentralized way. It's actually pretty easy!
When you would usually create a PR, you use `git format-patch` to create a patch file and send that to whoever is going to merge it.
They create a branch and use `git am` to apply the patch to it, review the changes, and merge it to main.
It is nice that git supports multiple remotes, though. It feels good to know that `git push` might not work for my project right now, but I know `git push srht` will get the code off of my laptop.

Re: GitHub was down
#99A reminder of how centralized and dependent the whole industry has become on GH, which is ironic, considering that git itself is designed to be decentralized.
Good opportunity to think about mirroring your repos somewhere else like Gitea or Gitlab.
