This one seems to be affecting large parts of the internet but at a low level, going by downdetector. Did someone strike Level3's core router with a backhoe? Maybe Russia got another undersea cable?

I noticed because RuneScape was down. The company shut down the whole game temporarily to prevent any desync/rollback issues, and put out an emergency news release referencing backbone connectivity issues and needing to talk to their upstream providers to find out what's going on.

As a company shipping a ton of shit, moving to anything is difficult. We have a self hosted gitlab (and forgejo) that's used by some people and it's fine.. but the UX is not on par with github. Forgejo self-hosted is not HA so we can't really move to it, Gitea is probably fine but hated for some reasons, we haven't tried it.

Github remains still the best option but the touch grass moments that the constant outages bring have us looking for a real good alternative. I'm personally quite excited by tangled.org, but we can't move to this until they have proper private repos and branch protection rules.

I put together a gitea server on my home network. I'm gradually copying repos from GitHub.com to codeberg.com, then deleting them off GitHub.com

I've been anticipating big problems and/or extending and extinguishing since MSFT bought it, but the vibe coding MSFT does has made me accelerate the process.
