- I recently moved all my projects to a self-hosted forgejo instance and have found it quite satisfactory so far. And it's fast! If you're in the market for a github alternative, take a look - there are options.

- I don't think aggregating the whole platform into one number is fair. It's like adding the whole aws into one number

- This is a real business continuity issue for us. We’re kinda stuck with GitHub Enterprise but we may need to move from cloud to on-premises if this keeps up.
- I'm currently setting up a self-hosted "Knot" for use on tangled.org.
Mainly doing it because I think AtProto is cool and self-hosting is fun, but also because owning the infrastructure that hosts my projects is definitely the direction I want to move in.
Tangled's Knot system feels like a really strong abstraction for this. I host the data in an AtProto Repository, but can rely on a third party to host/manage the AtProto Application that presents it to the rest of the world. If Tangled goes under, I can happily take my AtProto login to a different platform and point it at my Knot without changing a thing about my hosting setup.
Much more convenient that hosting an entire, siloed webapp on my own corner of the internet.
- Lots of apologia for Github here. Aside from the fact that defending a billion-dollar company is a bit strange; especially one that is steward to the the overwhelming majority of open-source software.
Maybe that's good-will doing the work? For me it's always been a sour pill to swallow that I have to buy in to a large companies internal politics and practices in order to work on projects I love. I don't feel like I owe them anything.
Especially if they can't hold up their end of the deal.
Unfettered access to the world's software repositories, for the princely sum of a bucketload of Azure credits.
- Supposedly commits on GitHub are up 14x YoY.

- The joke lands because everyone has quietly accepted a lot of concentration risk for the sake of convenience.
- quite literally kicking github while it's down!
- I wonder what morale is like at github. This is like gamer level hating
- https://repo.autonoma.ca/treetrek
My free, open-source, bare-bones, caching-free, dependency-free, authentication- and authorization-free pure PHP raw Git viewer. I developed it because GitList blew out my shared host's drive space and memory (due to a caching bug) and to consolidate my GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab repos. There's something rewarding about self-hosting and not being beholden to the whims of third parties.

- A vibe coded app that most likely contributed to the onslaught of vibe coded apps that are causing Github to go down. I feel bad for the people working at Github who are basically trying to keep a sinking ship afloat and Microsoft doing everything they can to sink their own ship.

- I'm pretty sure we all took down a production enterprise system once or twice. At InVision we had an incident every week, despite all the SOPs and safety nets. And that way waaay before vibe coding..

- Meanwhile, my local Gitlab install just hums along no issues.
- Not buying that untill they use a picture from the Simpsons
- With Github going up and down and Ubuntu going up and (mostly) down, there's a lot of time for intra-office sword fighting or whatever, lately. If somebody takes down Claude, everybody's going to have to just go home for the day. (https://xkcd.com/303/)

- Holy bootlickers Batman.
- Microsoft is causing Github incidents when Azure data-centers are too hot and they need to make room for Palantir's workload.
