GitHub Is Down Again

No problem. It&#x27;s almost Friday&#x27;s 5 PM in Japan right now.<p>It&#x27;s time to stop working and go out for some beer.

Good thing I spent time refactoring my Github workflow files to put all of the meaningful logic into separate shell scripts, so that I can still deploy without relying on Github Actions to be available.

#HugOps to GitHub Engineers! Such things are usually stressful, especially before the weekend. In addition, in some European countries today is a bridge day (day between a holiday and the weekend, many people take off on such a day).

And that is why you host your own mirror of all your repositories. I have Gitea mirror hosted on Raspberry PI connected to 7200RPM HDD at my father&#x27;s house. I also host other cool apps like paperless, jellyfish, etc,. It&#x27;s awesome.<p>Self hosting is cheap people, you just need to invest some time in it.

This is why centralized services are a bad idea.

Honestly <i>anyone</i> can have issue, that&#x27;s not a point. The point is the amplitude of that issue, or why do you FLOSS devs want GH instead of develop more modern Email clients to effectively develop over mailing-lists and why not usenet? We have some very modern from 50+ years ago, perhaps it&#x27;s time to adjust their aesthetic and rediscover their power?

Seems Github is imitating Bitbucket :)

When I go to the link the page keeps refreshing, and I get duplicate messages at the top of the page that says &quot;Hang on there partner, You&#x27;re subscribing too fast (give it a quick second and try again).&quot;<p>There is also a native browser notification that says &quot;Oops, something went wrong while subscribing you! Let&#x27;s reload the page and try again.&quot;<p>Is anyone else getting that? I haven&#x27;t &quot;subscribed&quot; to any thing.<p>I&#x27;m using the latest version of Firefox with the uBlock Origin addon.

There is zero new knowledge is these threads. I understand the HN crowd relies heavily on GitHub but it feels like Twitter. Anyway, I&#x27;m not adding anything too so...

Resolved after 1 hour and 21 minutes, that&#x27;s quick.

Does anyone have long-term stats for GitHub status incidents over the last few years or so?

As usual the advice is:<p>Duplicate your efforts and do not rely on a single git hosting provider! Gitlab.org is there. Use it. There are multiple ways to sync workflows and git repositories

How do you prevent this from impacting your systems? What kind of features can GitHub invest in to make it easy for you to insulate from downtime?

Don&#x27;t be afraid to use another code forge, there are many alternatives. People will come over if your project is interesting.

Seems to be up again - but there are still some performance issues. The main page was down for approximately 15 minutes

I heard sourceforge is doing great

Self host gitlab
