Because I can. How many more times does a service need to go down in less than a month to deem it unacceptable for any use? Unless you think paying for downtime is acceptable?

That is not my problem since I saw the problem years ago and chose to self-host instead. Rather than others complain to GitHub, they might as well self-host instead for reliability.

If you can setup a simple SaaS website, you can easily self-host a Gitlab / Gitea instance for 1 to 5 people. It's not that hard.

So you didn't read this then?

>> We're all in on Github actions these days but there was a time when we used to maintain our own Jenkins instance. [0]

>> At this point, our self-hosted CI and code review tooling has had significantly better uptime for the past year. [1]

The schadenfreude for GitHub's unreliability and some of its fans celebrating monthly down time only makes it hilarious to watch.
