"Outrageous"? It's two tenths of a cent per minute. How much will it impact you, really, particularly relative to the cost of compute?

- array_key_first 11mo agoIt's outrageous because self hosted runners are... self hosted. And the entire solution just sucks. It's bad, bad software. It barely works a lot of the time. The only reason they're doing this is because they can. Which is usually a really stupid reason. And here, it is. So, that's outrageous.
- otterley 11mo ago> because self hosted runners are... self hosted. Sure, but there's a separate mechanism that you need to make it all work: the orchestration. Without that, you have only the capacity to run jobs -- it's potential energy, if you will, not doing real work. That orchestrator thus provides real value. And it's not like it's free for them to build, operate, and maintain.
- user34283 11mo agoThe CI pipeline using my own runner is absolutely something that I expect to come for free with hosting the repository.
- lijok 11mo agoThat’s 2.5x what my actual runners cost. For every $100 in compute, I will be paying $250 to github. They can fuck right off
- loginatnine 11mo agoAt our company, it's ~35k USD increase annually. This is not negligeable.
