I suppose this is a good opportunity to ask, why do people get so affected by DVCS hosts going down? You can work locally with Git without uploading every change. Despite the constant reported GitHub downtime, I have not ever been adversely affected even once, since pushing and pulling are done every few days and I can freely branch/commit/merge locally.
Has anyone used the Repository Mirroring Feature [1] to mirror repos across self-hosted Forgejo/Codeberg/Github? How effortless is it? Ideally, I'd like to only ever push repos/branches to my self-hosted Forgejo, and have those changes automatically reflected on Codeberg/GH without thinking about it.
That, or the massive lightning that's going through the region, (due to the heatwave). Since it's quite late at night, heat wouldn't be my first guess.
Since Sunday 00:18 CEST, Codeberg.org is offline. From our investigation, our primary location lost power in our racks, leaving the majority of our servers and some network switches offline. We're waiting for a fix from the datacenter operator.

Do you not spend much time writing and discussing issues or reviewing code?

I can't take it anymore, I'm moving all my projects to github!
Sounds like we have the basics of an oscillating system now!
I wonder what it's resonant frequency is.
Is Github free of problems? I don't know. Maybe an option would be hosting gitea and sync projects to an online account.
I believe analogpixel is being facetious
Sarcasm is a thing.
The GP is joking.
Maybe related to the heatwave? I've heard some European data centres are having trouble with their cooling systems.

I'll put my money on AI software contributions...

A large chunk of companies I've worked for or consulted for had their own on-prem Gitlab. I think they chose correctly.
Codeberg runs open source Forgejo, and you could on-prem that too (for no license cost), if it suits your needs.
GitLab is more powerful in some ways, but early startups might want to look at Forgejo first.
> but early startups might want to look at Forgejo first.
Sorry, but there are a million things to do. Paying someone to self-host Forgejo isn't even on that list. We'll just pay someone at the moment.
On perm Gitlab has a ton of problems too.
We had zero in the last 7 years. But we are only a small team of 8.
For examples? Never ran into them myself but I don't do ops.
I don't do ops myself so I don't know the exact details but sometimes Gitlab is down or there are strange issues with CI/CD breaking.
what's that.
Only well known project on Codeberg that comes to mind is Zig
That's because most of what you can see of a Codeberg is actually underwater.
Does Forgejo count?
> For the time being, it appears that all three servers are without power.
This strikes me as odd, only three servers?
3 physical servers can power a ton of requests.
Never heard of it. And it makes HN?
There are a couple of very vocal people who are generally liked here who wrote angry blog posts about moving from Github to Codeberg.
This is why it's getting traction.
Consider that maybe you haven’t heard of all the things that HN readers find interesting.
