I wish GH had issues only every 2 years. That’d be amazing! We see issues weekly - if not near daily - at work. Personally I advocate for self-hosted GitLab. I like their pipelines a lot more than GH Actions too.

We do have a on prem GitLab (ultimate) at work and I'm pretty happy with it all in all with around ~100 active daily users.

Privately Forgejo is fullfilling all my needs with very little maintenance work.

Unfortunately, IMO Gitlab is getting enshittified too and adding llm slop features instead of improving the developer experience...

That’s a bummer to hear. I last used GitLab in 2021 and quite enjoyed it then. Although it does make sense - GitLabs former CTO/CPO now works at OpenAI as their CRO. That kind of shift doesn’t happen in a vacuum. I worked with this person at a previous company and they were an incredibly destabilizing force there - so I was pretty nervous for GitLab after their hiring.

Every 2 years? More like every 2 days for GitHub Actions or Git operations those days :(

Grass is always greener.

Except, you know, if you live in Germany. Heaven forbid we get decent ping once in a while :)

You’re still going to get better p80s from GitHub , across the Atlantic

What are "P80s"? Given the context, I doubt this refers either to screens used in mineral processing or to home-built firearms, which are all that I see in the first couple pages of search results.

They probably mean 80th percentile of the response time distribution? Usually you see this talked about for P95 or P99

They haven’t yet reached that level of maturity

> when GitHub goes down once every 2 years

Uhh ... More like every two weeks there's some kind of incident.
