Once again, GitHub is down. Last time an incident happened was 2 days ago [0].
Could not have happened on a worse day (Monday) and you can see how unreliable GitHub has been.
Better of self-hosting.

- lmm 5mo agoMonday is probably the best day for an outage? Everyone's in the office, so you're not disturbing them, and hung over, so you're not hurting their productivity much.
- m-schuetz 5mo agoAnything I'd self-host would be down way more often than github.
- ta8903 5mo agoOnly for a scale approaching github's, otherwise a gitea instance or whatever doesn't have any interdependent components other than the server you host it on, which won't have nearly as low a downtime as github (though that's a low bar, a better way to phrase it would be saying it would pretty much never be down).
- bigstrat2003 5mo agoI self host my own VCS repos. It's never down. It's not rocket surgery to self host, even for business stuff rather than personal.
- PeterStuer 5mo agoMy on prem forgejo is way less down than github. I use both. You don't have to chose.
- bigpeopleareold 5mo agoIn my employment from the last 3 years, I saw twice that there were two migrations from internal systems to GitHub. I would think that companies are doing this for cost-cutting measures. It's not like something I am going to research but it'd be interesting that their recent issues are related to large migrations from in-house installations to github and doubly, if that is related to how large companies might be tightening up their spending in the past few years.
