Everything Microsoft buys , dies a slow dead
post
There are downsides to being unemployed for sure, but not knowing that Github is down until I see it on social media is quite an upside 😌
I'll pour out a bit of coffee for all those who still have to care about these things o7
Its always DNS.
It's frightening how the OSS ecosystem mostly centralized around GitHub. I've been trying all afternoon to debug issues with some libraries and most search results linked to GitHub... which spat out errors every single time.
"we built this decentralized federated source code control system!", great let's get everyone to put all their code in one central location.
Use archive.org's Wayback Wachine.
Only partially helpful. For me, when I open up issues archive.org often only has the first post in the thread. Often the stuff is months outdated.
Don't get me wrong, the Wayback Machine is an incredibly amazing piece of tech and I use it all the time. But it's a less-than-satisfactory replacement for a working Github.
I decided against using Github for my personal stuff since it's owned by Microsoft.
I can't help but feel a little bit smug every time it shits the bed nowadays.
it went down literally half an our after our company announced we would also bring our CI Pipeline over to GitHub...
The "cloud" 👍
Github seems to bug out quite a lot. More than once I had to reload the page a handful of times until my browser deemed it safe.
This is why we should all migrate over to Codeberg for sure
This is why I don't use GitHub. Well that and I don't code.
I don't code either but prefer the Gitea instance in my basement over anything MS hosts.
Have you considered using it for hosting a small personal blog instead?
(There might be better options, but this is the first one I became aware of)
I migrated every single repo to GitHub (from GitLab) yesterday. Today was a short day.
Why would you go to microslop?
Because all my pleading to host our own forgejo was ignored. It's not as if I had much choice in my job if my company's IT decides to switch.
this has made my morning so trouble free today; thank you vibe coding! lol
