• Github is down, the entire industry panics

It's part of the reason why I left my old one.
You say this as a joke but i have various clients that still use SVN for their projects ...its annoying
I can attest to this, its hard to do easy revision control on schematics and PCBs when 9/10 your CAD tool of choice stores in a proprietary ass format that isn't plaintext diff'able. Altium is one of the better tools for this (and has the best built in rev control compared to most other software). I'm using Cadence at my job and its a pain in the ass to revision control.
Huh, the more you know. I just kinda guessed they'd offer a managed solution alongside the self hosted.
the managed solution is just using github.com with corp accounts there's no split as far as managed between personal and corp accounts
That really all depends on the industry and application. There's been countless hours and money invested in getting 0.0009% more uptime.
I'm sorry dude, but I've worked in development in the past and we reference things constantly - there's far too much shit to remember to be able to store it all in our memories and I was constantly looking stuff up on StackOverflow and grabbing stuff from GitHub at work. If you've got a time-sensitive issue causing site outages and you're all clambering to fix it, needing something desperately, it can be extremely expensive, especially for something like eCommerce.
This is the price you pay for outsourcing
Hey I like mercurial 😠 tho I am a bit handicapped from no one else using it. Like for self-hosted git, you have gitea which is just a fantastic fork of gogs that JUST WERKS. Whereas with hg your options aren't as good and you have to do some fucking about since it's python 2. You can keep working but collaborative stuff is still hampered, and there's quite a lot of information on github too. Though you can solve the former with mirrors.
Git is not a backup tool
I guess your remotes can act as backup. Nothing stopping anyone for rolling multiple remotes. But at it's core, it's just version control
How bad is 15 minutes really? Can't you just go "ooh extra break, rare stuff" and do something else for a while?
Not really a problem, git is a distributed VCS so you can still do checkouts/commits/create branches/whatever without a connection to the remote. The remote is just a mirror of the local database. Of course your boss may not realise that...
And if you source your issue tracker to it, you'd lose that. Fifteen minutes without it isn't a huge issue for the majority. Email/Slack fallback if you needed something on the fly
Ah yeah good point, I forget that github isn't just git hosting!
Oh jesus haven't heard of that since that time every gmod mod used it.
Pretty sure many big mods still use it because "ew workshop ew ew"
there's still a 200 mb compressed limit iirc
I don't get the 200mb limit because you have something like ArmA 3 that has multi-GB addons.
Skyrim got the limit removed entirely So, no clue how workshop works in this regard.
I think it's publisher set. Either way, it can go well beyond 200MB. It's a shame and it seems to be one of those "Because I want it to be" things from garry/robotboy. Off-topic, I'll stop.
Last time i heard about Github was people ranting and raving about some kind of full-blown SJW infiltration. LMAO. Either way, people should know better than put all their eggs in one basket.
Oh GitHub is only one of the most important structures on the internet, many things you use daily rely on it's existence.
I remember using that for gmod. Sadly I don't understand github and only snoop for the binaries.
Sure. But it also opens up a shitheap of problems when it goes down. Problems that don't have to even exist. Back when people were seeing SJW demons everywhere in Github, there was a shitton of panic about how stupid it was to have everything centralized In one single place. I don't think having shit centralized is a bad thing, but not having several centralized services solving the same problem is eventually gonna backfire somehow. Whether that's Anita Sarkeesian sneeze-queefing all over, Microsoft buying them out or something else is unimportant. Maybe i'm just not getting it. But if 15 minutes of downtime sends people screaming about a falling sky, Maybe people should invest more time in proper data infrastructure?
Holy shit I just got flashbacks of installing spacebuild 3 for Gmod.
I work for one of them - Well not TortoiseSVN but SVN nonetheless. Probably worse because the company has rolled out their own SVN system built in Perl with their own CLI tool and their own UI. We're moving to GitHub though so that's nice.
Where the fuck are the extra three posts in this thread :/
Wait you're using SVN hosted on Github?
