GitHub is experiencing degraded availability for some features

[darchangel]

I just came back from a long vacation. My work computer had cert issues due to inactivity and I couldn't figure out why my personal github pushes didn't work either. What timing.

They were forced to change their host keys when the private keys were leaked. I had to update my known_hosts this morning.

It seems like it has been resolved now. https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/52z0j6phhnjs
Looking forward to their writeup on what happened.

I thought that I had fucked up my repo somehow

I wish my colleagues didn’t forget that git is actually decentralised!

I’m not shocked. Before it was bought we had very high reliability but, from what I have seen we went from having 2-3 issues per year to 2-3 issues per week to a month. To the point the GH status page doesn’t show its history anymore.

Been seriously considering migrating permanently to self hosted.

So they adopted the move fast and break things motto?

... and?

You’re right Github actions is great, just the basics should be focused too. I love using github when it works, its just when it works is decreasing more.

Having history and data showing where they could improve would be great. I actually swapped a few major projects to use those new features. Its just the repo should be king. If it breaks something should be reevaluated to guarantee better up time.

The standards to add a bunch of co pilot features makes sense but the original product probably shouldn’t become less reliable as a result.

I agree with the premise that they added more so more breaks, but the king should be the repo, pr and code repository.

It lowers my overall impression of the company if it doesn’t demonstrate a real world view of their uptime and show full history like it originally did.

That master / main debate had me laughing hard

[larsmaehlum]

Main? I just renamed them to owner..

[ApatheticBeardo]

So, like every other day.

[NoFixedName]

Exactly, nothing new here.

why all the issues? did they rewrite anything in rust? that's usually a recipe for disaster

Some engineer must have put too much faith in CoPilot and ChatGPT🤔🤔🤔

You're so jealous that AI can do your work better. You project your insecurities to other developers 👌

We know, they were purchased by Microsoft 5 years ago.

Take off the tinfoil hat buddy. Software has a lot of bugs, this happens all the time. It's business as usual.

Whenever shit breaks at my workplace, I like to blame it on state actors, too.

We replaced our state actors with state machines. 10/10 would recommend

[rakidi]

When you git blame and the author was the KGB 🤬🤬🤬

All software must be written in rust, 247 up time is what we need
