Last time GitHub went down was less than a month ago: [0]
At this point maybe it is time to self-host rather than to continue to tolerate this since it's guaranteed to goes down every month. [1]
Even open-source projects like RedoxOS, GNOME, KDE, ReactOS, etc are doing just fine without worrying about GitHub's unreliability as predicted years ago on not centralizing everything to GitHub. [2]

Not a single one of these outages has caused me enough pain to even consider moving to another hosted provider let alone self-hosting and the burden that goes into managing all that stuff.
Can we stop with this whole "omg a major platform that gets used by millions of people a day can't guarantee 100% uptime, we need to all manage our own infra!!" mentality?
Seriously I've been in GitHub all morning and decided to take a break and read HN and I was JUST learning about this now... It was resolved before I seen this thread too.
