I wonder if developers have realised already how unreliable GitHub has been since Microsoft acquired them. I expect them to have an incident every month. Just look at their greatest recent hits: here [0] and [1]

It's no wonder why going all in on Github makes absolutely no sense. Like I said years ago, it is better to just self-host or mirror your repository to GitHub.

Blender surely did choose wisely [2] and perhaps this is the time to self-host your repositories and not 'centralize everything to GitHub' [3]

Haha, why would anyone be surprised to see that? Just take a look at other M$ products, pretty much the same.


Many of us saw this coming a year ago, when GitHub shoved a bunch of developer QoL features behind the enterprise tier and started having consistent downtime with actions.


There would have to be centricity at some point, otherwise OSS sort of dies. Maybe a git link aggregator?
