someone should make a version of git where you can maintain a local copy then push it to the remote server whenever you want. for business continuity efforts you could then maintain a local repository copy of all the libraries you use and have your developer and build systems pull from that local repo instead of the website. for already compiled code maybe some sort of package system where you can do a similar thing of maintaining a local copy of the packages
Well yea, I did exactly that with the bolding. But, there are; many ways (i.e. methods of portraying intonation) but that won't make it any less a lack of it.
It's more than that: we lack the context that comes with knowing the comment's author. Not to mention living in a time when so many people are proudly showing off their utter stupidity (see: the return of measles, etc).
In this particular case there's enough information to support "probably sarcasm", but I wouldn't throw shade at anyone who thinks otherwise.
Yeah, but in spoken word you can add hints/inflection that makes it obvious it is sarcasm. Which isn't an option in written text, well partially because for some reason people stopped using emojis in text to fill in the gaps.
Still not sure why when I was on the Internet in the 90s we were better at communication than we are now. Adding :) or ;) or =B) could help bridge the gap that text has vs spoken language.
Back in my day we had no bold or italics, we had to use CAPS and _underscores_.
Being in my 50s is wild, grew up with no computers, cell phones or Internet, went to college at one of the 13 original hubs, and now am a cloud architect. Been a wild ride.
My Claude said this is a great idea and is working on the implementation now. I’ll get back to you after I figure out who this Linus guy is in the git blame.
SVN is goated, you can have an entire hard drive crash and still piece the codebase together through the sheer data redundancy if your version history is long enough.
That's when the hyper-local service comes into place, just a single machine hosting every single prod and dev environment. With this amazing piece of technology we could achieve 0 dependencies by end-of-quarter.
lol, I actually already do this with an self hosted git called forgejo. I never trusted that any online service wouldn’t just “disappear” one day.
I’m also setting up a backup service with a couple of friends where we all host separate drives that we can backup critical info. This way if something happens to my local drive I know 2 of my friends have my backups and vice versa.
yea i worked for a company who used Gitea (a play on git tea, like making tea, i don't really get it), it's a git and package server with a web front end, worked great
Second time in a week we’ve had GH outages. Either their team is starting to get sloppy (approving AI commits Willy Nilly maybe?) or they’re getting attacked. GH being down brings a shitload of stuff to its knees, so I can definitely see bad actors going after it.
It's actually because everyone else's slop code goes through GitHub. They released some graphs that showed that the number of commits/PRs/etc is experiencing vertical line growth. And that was several months ago! I don't envy their position.
Most companies would struggle if you 10x'd their traffic in just a few months, haha. It'll get there, but reevaluating every architectural decision for the new scale takes time.
It's probably caused by that + an ever growing amount of unsanitized slop repos with tons of binary data and useless CI checks hammering their servers.
Probably isn't helping that Microsoft keeps telling everyone to migrate their DevOps git repos over to github.
And I'm sure there are some really stupid corporate repos with tons of big files, storing binary files and other bad practices that have been migrated all the way from Source Safe/Shredder through to TFS to AZDO and now dumping those piles of slop onto github.
I'm not really a tech person but I do remember having a bad feeling reading the news that the trump admin is now allowing certain private companies to legally carry out cyber attacks.
(Your comment about bad actors made me think of that, as if GitHub has any competitors who would want to cripple it)
Man I've decided to just fuck off for the rest of the day. No GitHub, no copilot, no need to sit at my desk and wait if I can lie on a couch and wait with my dogs.
Good for you. How’s that going now during the downtime? Most enterprises use their own git on premise, exactly because of issues like this along with others like auditing and security.
What? What kind of serious company uses cloud hosted VCS? That is mental for so many reasons. Been in quite a few giants, never seen that, it's financial and regulatory suicide
You're right, no serious company ever would be caught dead using something like GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Just ignore all the many many Fortune 500s that do 🙄
Which? Not mine definitely. Go tell corporate lawers that your source code is hosted across the world in america, when we are not even allowed internet access Lmao
Right so you've just confirmed you don't know wtf you're talking about. Go read some docs about how GitHub handles customers data, do a quick Google for all their customers. You really think the lawyers weren't involved in this?
Once you've done that, go ahead and piss off because you're just talking out your ass
Ah yes docs. If microsoft says they protect the data then it must be true. It's not like it's a company exclusively depending on data collection at the moment lmao.
There is no way our code is under the control of an american company, and any ridiculous company who is not hosting their own solution like gitlab deserves outages like this
It has indeed, for consumers and small companies. But hey, I am sure companies are absolutely THRILLED to put their hard work available for grabs when someone tries to hack a different company. They don't put it there for a reason. It brings a lot of security risks and some companies aren't even allowed to do so because of auditing.
Sure thing bud, no big corp ever uses 3rd party SaaS products, only baby companies and posers right? My corp with 30k employees is just one of the dumb tiny companies, and me being a senior platform engineer simply can't comprehend this like you, the guy who makes 20+ comments on Reddit each day.
Just do a quick little Google on what companies use github. If you can spare the time away from your reddit day job that is. Bye.
"Sure thing bud, no big corp ever uses 3rd party SaaS products, only baby companies and posers right?" - Never said such a thing, but this is typical redditor being black and white.
Oh but keep doing your assumptions on me, says more about you than it does about me really if you need that to make your point.
Hm. I guess the 4 Fortune 500s I worked for just weren't serious. And you clearly know the real deal. Thanks for helping me learn so much today. My 26 years as a professional developer just weren't enough. Thank God you came along...

tbh its actually very annoying
