Related to the recent announcement they are moving to Azure?

Your weekly reminder to take a break

I was getting crazy thinking that there was something wrong with my SSH keys all of a sudden. Thanks $DEITY it's just GitHub.

Looking forward to the postmortem.

Are they using AI agents this time to resolve the outage? Probably not.

But this time, there is no CEO of GitHub to contact and good luck contacting Satya to solve the outage.

Yep. Was using github for oauth on a petproject of mine. Got the unicorn, and was considering takingthe break, or just etting up something else. Seems to be running again for me now though.

I thought my SSH keys were revoked, whew.

This sure does seem to happen a lot

Anyone using GitLab have any insight on how well their operations are running these days?

We originally left GitLab for GitHub after being bit by a major outage that resulted in data loss. Our code was saved, but we lost everything else.

But that was almost 10 years ago at this point.

Ah that was why. Oh well, I just needed to get the code to the server, so I didn't really need Github anyway.

Github is owned by Microsoft, so this is a pretty small time indie operation, you need to give them a break.

I’m old enough to remember when GitHub was on main page due to a cool feature they added, now they just end up here when it stops working

If I remember it well, every once in a while a new cool feature was also breaking stuff, doubling the chances of getting to the top page here. But truth being told, GitHub was fixing those at light speed too and it was very interesting to follow their progress. Their delivery pipeline (per branch, deliver when ready, etc.) sounded very much innovative by then and I think inspired many people.

It's possible that Microsoft buying GitHub was a large-scale psyop intended to reduce the productivity of the competition.

Any time their startup competitors are making too much progress they can just push the "GitHub incident" button and slow everyone down.

Coincidentally, Azure Devops was also missing the ssh keys earlier today, both in the web ui and for ssh login.

Well, github is moving to Azure and they are consolidating systems. No surprise there.

Speaking of GitHub issues if you go to Insight->Traffic in your repo you’ll most likely see this banner:

“ Referring sites and popular content are temporarily unavailable or may not display accurately. We're actively working to resolve the issue.”

It’s been like that for months now with no sign of anyone working on it. They just don’t care about user experience anymore.

Speaking of "temporarily unavailable but it's actually forever", I've been wanting to get into Fallout and Starfield modding, so been waiting for their official wiki to come out of maintenance mode. I think I first tried to access it when Starfield launched (September 2023), and still today it is "currently down for backend maintenance". https://wiki.bethesda.net/

Hey, I'm the GitHub employee who's working on fixing that right now. The service powering those stats is _ancient_, and it fell over back in September. It's taken longer than I hoped to get a replacement working, but it should be fixed within the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed.

I really do feel for those hubbers that are still working on this years into the Microsoft era. GitHub was an excellent product and from what I hear it was an excellent culture too. I can only assume the culture has eroded similarly to the product itself as Microsoft has finally begun integrating the org into the slower moving machine that is MS.

Huh could this be why I can't login and pushing packages says my account is banned?
