Because it's more complicated than just that. I'm primarily angry about my company's use of it. We pay GitHub decent money for shit service and it'd be a large/tedious/disruptive project to move off. Tendrils everywhere. But yes: we'll probably have to move. Annoying distraction.

What would we need from the place, actually? Social networking? Code hosting and issue tracking has been a solved problem for a long time.

Especially one run by jerks.

self-hosting isn't especially hard, but it does ask more of the community to maintain accounts across N forges

Seems like Codeberg has a lot of momentum and mind share, and good aspects to it, but I've not tried it yet myself.

Been considering using @tangled.org instead of GH for my publicly-accessible repos. Been using self-hosted instance of Forgejo in the homelab for everything else.

Oh hey, there you go. Bill Microsoft strikes again!

Yea, I can’t believe I pay for this.

The monthly transparency reports are a good thing because you can see both what the causes of issues are (beyond “my god you people are checking in a lot more code”) and why they can’t just throw capacity at a distributed system to fix it) Reliability is the priority over everything but security

I'll talk to my team, at least, about automating this for the things that are clear signals - like significant increases in 500s being seen by end users. In Copilot's case in particular (the only one I can really speak to) there's a lot of noise thrown in there by LLM providers randomly going down.

Automatically updating the status for user-visible endpoints is a no-brainer imho. The question to ask is why don't the humans have the confidence in the alerting system to let it do that? Problem that needs fixing

Their actions pipeline outage in Australia this week makes us consider moving our codebase to Gitlab - doubly frustrating as we just moved to GitHub from Bitbucket 🤦‍♂️

Sure - we may not like this as paying customers - but think of the JIRA metrics! How poorly would it have reflected on teams if they didn’t rush out buggy software on a Friday. The sprint closes tonight!
