Github has 84.92% uptime in the last 90 days according to https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses
I don't know how this is even remotely close to acceptable.
- croes 6mo agoAt least one 9 … somewhere
- pluc 6mo agoIt isn't. Lots of unacceptable things going on these days and everyone seems to be accepting them just fine.
- tardedmeme 6mo agoWe should make an alternative git site, but how to acquire users?
- tantalor 6mo agoWhat do you need users for? GH is not a social network
- tardedmeme 6mo agoI don't know. Everyone seems to be using GitHub only because everyone else is using GitHub. Apparently that's important somehow. Me, I use "git init"
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 6mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect It's a lot easier to get bug reports and fixes when everyone is on the same auth system. That's why there is also a call for federated forges
- tardedmeme 6mo agoWhy is it easier to submit a bug report if my bug reporting system is run by the same company as your code repository? Why are those things even slightly related?
- jenadine 6mo agoBecause users and community contributors most likely already have an account, are familiar with the UI. There is also the "gamification" aspect that GitHub have. Doesn't motivate me personally, but could have effect on some others. Projects on GitHub gets a lot more visibility. To the point that many projects that do not use GitHub as their main forge are still often mirroring their repository there, and have to deal with double source of bug reports or pr.
- tardedmeme 6mo agoIf it's just about the account, this can be solved by using their existing account (log in with Google/Apple/GitHub/email) or no account at all.
- tantalor 6mo ago> same auth system I'm confused with auth has to do with it? We've had OAuth 2.0 since 2012
- go_elmo 6mo agoMake it nerdy enough to scare of agentic coders only. Also, blackjack and hookers are said to be helpful in such circumstances.
- mghackerlady 6mo agosourcehut is pretty close
- lelanthran 6mo ago> Also, blackjack and hookers are said to be helpful in such circumstances. Actually, forget about the site...
- dd8601fn 6mo agoForgejo is a thing. But the headlines lately make it sound like it’s not in great shape either.
- abnercoimbre 6mo agoCould you expand? I couldn't find anything relevant after a few search attempts.
- dd8601fn 6mo agoYeah, look for HN headlines with forgejo and carrot (iirc). It made a lot of noise in the last couple weeks.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 6mo agocodeberg is doing fine
- Anon1096 6mo agoIf measured the same way, ie combined status across all products, then codeberg is also at a whopping 0 9s. https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg
- chrisjj 6mo ago> We should make an alternative git site, but how to acquire users? Buy ad space on Github's outage page?
- steve1977 6mo agoI think it's like some kind of collective inferiority complex. Nobody really understands things anymore but everyone is afraid to point out mistakes of others because they are scared to come under scrutiny themselves then.
- adityashankar 6mo agoI don't think it's an inferiority complex, negativity sells more and carefully understanding things doesn't sell as much
- afro88 6mo agoGuarantee enterprises with SLAs aren't accepting them
- maccard 6mo agoThe thing about an SLA is that once you’ve broken it you’ve lost the trust. It doesn’t _really_ matter what the cost is for breaking it, nobody chooses their platform based on the refund they’ll get if they’re down. But they absolutely do choose based on reliability and uptime. The enterprise SLA refund credit will show as a (big) metering blip, but the problem is the people who signed the contracts are going to be speaking to Gitlab now
- Retr0id 6mo agoI, for one, am not paying them enough money to expect any better.
- booleandilemma 6mo agoI think the default position people like to take generally is to just go with the status quo. GitHub has reached status quo level. As in "nobody ever got fired for choosing GitHub". It's the only forge I've seen advertisements for in the meatspace, and even non-technical people know about it. On job applications, companies ask for my GitHub URL. I think it'll be awhile now before they get abandoned. That said, I recently started moving my stuff over to Codeberg. The change needs to start with us, the people writing software.
- gen220 6mo agoIMO that site overcounts downtime. If you filter for major and critical outages (the kind that make the front page of HN), the story is still bad but it’s not 84.92% bad. https://isgithubcooked.com/?severities=major.critical https://isgithubcooked.com/?severities=major.critical
- jszymborski 6mo ago2/9 9s is pretty awful.
- ex-aws-dude 6mo agoWe aim for 9 5s
- jszymborski 6mo ago2/5 9s is pretty awful.
- rogerrogerr 6mo agoRead that again.
- jszymborski 6mo agohaha thank you.
- tantalor 6mo agoThey can't even get two eights, let alone three nines.
- amarant 6mo agoHey there's a nine in there, so it's fine!
- veber-alex 6mo agoffs can we stop talking about that number and site already. It treats any service being down as the entire platform being down which is nonsense. It's just lying with statistics.
- bspammer 6mo agoThe individual numbers for git operations, pull requests, and actions are all still single-nine.
