  The shape of this HN duplicate detector actually works as a GitHub uptime chart:https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=githubstatus.comIt's driven by aggregated user complaints, so it's pretty high-quality. Comment counts are a proxy for "how bad was the outage" + "how long was the outage thread topical for".edit to add: Here's a scatterplot of the same,https://files.catbox.moe/hhfh4l.png

  I think all they have to do is stop giving free CI to everyone and this reliability issue will be solved immediately.Disclaimer: I am building a code forge myself at https://juju.bi

  It bugs me how there can be an acknowledged live incident happening today with Actions, and yet down the page where it shows last 30d uptime for actions, today's little rectangle is a chipper green.

  Has anyone tried https://tangled.org/ for simple projects on their home server? Is it easy enough?

  Lesson for every infra provider: physically separate your free tier infra from your paid tier infra.

  Ever since I switched to Forgejo (could do Gitea or other self-hosted too), my outages have gone down to basically zero. It’s only down when I do maintenance but since I’m not pushing code at the same time it doesn’t matter

  Self-hosted GitHub Actions on AWS spot are still working.After many outages we had to build our own free runner https://github.com/supercorp-ai/superci

  I wonder if I can hook failed git push into betting on github's status on polymarket.

  Nice graphic on that page of a bunch of cartoon workers tending to what looks like a Rube Goldberg contraption. It's all just lighthearted fun and games.

  I'm sure there is a good meme to use for such a frequently occurring problem, but it would be too over used by this point.

  Giving Github more attention

  I was confused why the github file browser was falling over.

  It's getting to be hilarious at this point, honestly.

  Last time these intermittent incidents happened was days ago and for this exact same incident was 11 days ago. [0]After everything announced in GitHub Universe and with that to improve the reliability of GitHub overall, yet we have another incident afterwards.It doesn't matter what GitHub does, only you can decide for yourself to self-host rather than going all in on GitHub and it continues to go down.Predicted this 6 years ago and self hosting has aged perfectly well.
