I've been on a somewhat binge to move a bunch of stuff to self-hosting at home. Yesterday I finally completed my self-hosted Forgejo instance at home, together with Linux, Windows (via VM) and macOS (via Mac Mini) runners/workers for CI/CD, so everything finally lives in-house (literally), instead of all source code + Actions being on GitHub but the infrastructure actually living locally.<p>This is probably the first time I felt vindicated with my self-hosting move literally the day after I finished the migration, very pleasant feeling. Usually it takes a month or two before I get here.

<a href="https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/" rel="nofollow">https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/</a> says they are down to 88.15% uptime. Even when you consider uptime of individual components, their best is 99.78%, so two nines.

It would be wild if they dropped below the "two 9's" metric. I think they would need an additional ~16hr of outage in the 90 day rolling period.

Don't worry, status page says that it's 100% working - green color, all good. even though i can't access a static page

I wondered. We'd seen for most of today that Actions were slow to trigger, I had at least one that was just missed, it felt like something was definitely off but the status was green all day until this.

I definitely have better uptime hosting my own gitea instance. It's faster too. It's basically a knock off GitHub. Plus with privacy concerns, I'm just happier overall. Easy setup, all I did was deploy the helm chart.

Just cancelled my GitHub Copilot Pro+ year subscription. Removal of Opus 4.6 stung, but the repeated continued downtime makes it unusable for me. Very disappointed.<p>No fuss instant refund of my unused subscription (£160) appreciated.

Some of my jobs are completing, some are failing. Seems to be random. Kind of wish they would just fail outright, instead of running for 10 minutes and then failing.

At this point it'll be better to have alerts for when GitHub is <i>online</i>, rather than offline.

what are the good alternatives available for github i find some alternative but as long as widely people use github i cant use other service right like i cant share my alternative to other developer and force him to use this for me. so i feel like i locked in even i want to move i can't

I moved to Gitlab a while ago. It's a whole new level of freedom not having to pay for self-hosted CI runners.

Anyone also seeing Active Directory/Entra issues?

Seems like they just can’t deal with the absolute deluge of AI vomit being uploaded every day.<p>Good riddance I hope it completely destroys them.

At this point it should almost be news when it works.

I am this > < close to just running Gogs or Forgejo on some Hetzner boxes, quit my job, charge people for access. Why aren't there like 10 startups doing this yet? Please? I want to give you my money. Just give me a git host that doesn't suck. (All the current ones suck)

Microsoft again.<p>I think it is time that Microsoft lets go of GitHub. They are handling it too poorly.

I mean; this is the normal mode of operation for GitHub at this point.

Seems like outages are increasingly more frequent nowadays. Obviously, this is not the best state of affairs, and developers should not be limited by services. In the meantime I've been experimenting with building third spaces for people to chill while they wait for the services they are dependent on to go back up.<p>The first one I've built is a little ASCII hangout for Claude @ <a href="https://clawdpenguin.com" rel="nofollow">https://clawdpenguin.com</a> but threads like this make me want to build it for Github too.
