#93I didn't really want to work today anyways. First cloudflare, now this... Seems like a sign to get some fresh air
we depend too much on usa centralized tech. we need more soverenity and decentralization.
The sad part is both the web and git were developed as decentralized technologies, both of which we foolishly centralized later.
The underlying tech is still decentralized, but what good does that do when we've made everything that uses it dependent on a few centralized services?

FYI in an emergency you can `git push` to and `git pull` from any SSH-capable host without the need to use GitHub.
FYI in an emergency you can SSH to your server and edit files and the DB directly. Where is your god now, proponents of immutable filesystems?!
FYI in an emergency, you can buy a plane ticket and send someone to access the server directly.
I actually had the privilege of being sent to the server.
Re: GitHub: Git operation failures
#96It is insane how many failures we've been getting lately, especially related to actions.
* jobs not being picked up
* jobs not being able to be cancelled
* jobs running but showing up as failed
* jobs showing up as failed but not running
* jobs showing containers as pushed successfully to GitHub's registry, but then we get errors while pulling them
* ID token failures (E_FAIL) and timeouts.

Been on GitHub for a long time. It feels like they're more often. It used to be yearly if at all that GitHub was noticably impacted. Now it's monthly, and recently, seemingly weekly.
In the early days of GitHub (like before 2010) outages were extremely common.
Not from my recollection. Not like this. BitBucket on the other hand had a several day outage at one point. That one I do recall.
Re: GitHub: Git operation failures
#98I have a serious question, not trying to start a flame war. A. Are these major issues with cloud/SaaS tools becoming more common, or is it just that they get a lot more coverage now? It seems like we see major issues across AWS, GCP, Azure, Github, etc. at least monthly now and I don't remember that being the case in the past. B. If it's becoming more common, what are the reasons? I can think of a few, but I don't kn…
One possibility is increased monitoring. In the past, issues that happened weren't reported because they went under the radar. Whereas now, those same issues which only impact a small percentage of users would still result in a status update and postmortem. But take this with a grain of salt because it's just a theory and doesn't reflect any actual data. A lot of people are pointing to AI vibe coding as the cause, bu…
At least with GitHub it's hard to hide when you get "no healthy upstream" on a git push.

FWIW Microsoft is convinced moving Github to Azure will fix these outages

#100Obviously just speculation, but maybe don't let AI write your code... Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company’s code was written by AI https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/29/microsoft-ceo-says-up-to-3...
It's degraded availability of Git operations. The enterprise cloud in EU, US, and Australia has no issues. If you look at the incident history disruptions happen often in the public cloud for years already. Before AI wrote code for them.
The enterprise cloud runs on older stable versions of GitHub's backend/frontend code.
