There it is again: Friday the 13th. Well, it's time for home and side projects.

    Yes, that's right, for sure. You just need enough people talking about something in a scary enough way to then become apprehensive about it yourself. Once that happens it’s very easy not only to worry, but also to tie all minor negative events that could happen at any given time to the superstition.

Shameless plug: I wrote a small service to monitor the status of many cloud services (github included) in one page http://isserviceup.com http://isserviceup.com
- lugus35 10y ago
  Can you provide stats of the best services availability ?
- fooblob 10y ago
  Is that not an extended variation of the https://cachethq.io https://cachethq.io logo?
  - mangeletti 10y ago
    I don't think it can really be considered copying another company when both companies' logos are basically a Font Awesome icon[1,2]. No offense to either company; their logos are pragmatic. 1. http://fontawesome.io/icon/check-circle-o/ http://fontawesome.io/icon/check-circle-o/ 2. http://fontawesome.io/icon/check-square-o/ http://fontawesome.io/icon/check-square-o/

Obligatory Gogs plug: https://gogs.io https://gogs.io It also has an awesome automatic mirror mode that can remain sync'd to a remkte repository. I don't care what your company does or how you run it, but please don't just rely on Github to host your code without a mirror somewhere. There are drawbacks to this incessant centralization.
- mbertschler 10y ago
  Instead of Gogs it is now recommended to use Gitea, since it has more activity (~400 more commits last time I checked) and is community driven: https://gitea.io/ https://gitea.io/ According to their Blog: Gitea is a community fork of the popular self-hosted Git service Gogs. We’re a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus decided to make an effort to build a more open and faster development model. https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/ https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/
  - abhixec 10y ago
    Is there any particular reason why this is recommended over Gogs?

This happened not before trying to convince @Unknwon about giving write permissions to more people, among the community. He rightly considered Gogs his own creature and didn’t want to let it grow outside of him, thus a fork was necessary in order to set that code effectively free. source: https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/ https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/

Hacked or internal problems?
kbutler 10y ago
Too bad git is a distributed version control system, so you have your repositories locally and can continue work without remote access.
- moron4hire 10y ago
  The specific problem today is that I have changes on my home PC that I finished and pushed up to Github last night, but now I can't get them at work this morning, because my home PC is behind a firewall. Also, my IP address is not static, so there's no guarantee I'll even be able to find it to make it a remote.
  - pmlnr 10y ago
    All you need is to change a DNS entry once your ip changes. Or a remote port via ssh tunnel. (see -R option ).
  - weaksauce 10y ago
    Fwiw you can use a dynamic dns to connect to your computer if you poke holes in the firewall and feel like running ssh or something similar.
  - problems 10y ago
    There are a wide variety of solutions to that, they all fall under the general name of "dynamic DNS". Most DNS providers have some sort of system for updating it even. I use cloudflare and there's a wide variety of scripts that can be used to automatically update CF DNS records. There's also some purpose-built services and many home NAT routers include features for this.
    - moron4hire 10y ago
      Honestly, I'm not really sure it's worth the effort. I'd have to spend time setting it up and baby sit it all year for the one time a year I am hurt by the problem for a couple of hours. Or I could just take the office out for expensive coffee and usually Github is back up again by the time we get back.
