Microslop is farting too hard on vibecoding

I am getting really tired of github. outages happen that's a given. but on so much stuff they don't even care or try. Github is becoming the bottleneck in my agentic coding workflows. unless I make Claude do it intelligently, I hit rate limits checking on CI jobs (5000 api requests in an hour). Depot makes their CI so much better, but it is still tied to github in a couple of annoying places.

PRs are a defacto communication and coordination bus between different code review tools, its all a mess.

LLMs make it worse because I'm pushing more code to github than ever before, and it just isn't setup to deal with this type of workload when it is working well.

I have a bug bash in an hour and fixes that need to go in beforehand. So of course GitHub is down.

Only on days with a "y"...

How many 9s is GitHub at now? 2?

You know that it's bad when the status page doesn't have the availability stats anymore.

Seems like the xkcd [1] for internet infrastructure that was posted earlier [2] should have github somewhere on it, even if just for how often it breaks. Maybe it falls under "whatever microsoft is doing"

Lowendtalk providers who take 7$ per year deals can provide more reliability than Github at this moment and I am not kidding.

If anyone is using Github professionally and pays for github actions or any github product, respectfully, why?

You can switch to a VPS provider and self host gitea/forejo in less time than you might think and pay a fraction of a fraction than you might pay now.

The point becomes more moot because github is used by developers and devs are so so much more likely to be able to spin up a vps and run forejo and run terminal. I don't quite understand the point.

There are ways to run github actions in forejo as well iirc even on locally hosted which uses https://github.com/nektos/act under the hood.

People, the time where you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and expected basic service and no service outage issues is over.

What you are gonna get is service outage issues and lock-ins. Also, your open source project is getting trained on by the parent company of the said git provider.

PS: But if you do end up using Gitea/forejo. Please donate to Codeberg/forejo/gitea (Gitea is a company tho whereas Codeberg is non profit). I think that donating 1k$ to Codeberg would be infinitely better than paying 10k$ or 100k$ worth to Github.

I spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong with GHCR, &^$% Github.

I'm on the lookout for an alternative, this really is not acceptable.
