On October 30 at 17:50 UTC, GitHub started investigating degraded performance for Actions and Webhooks . Ten minutes later Pages was on the list too. By 18:06 they were reporting delayed workflows, delayed Pages deployments, delayed webhook events, and errors in code search and live updates. The incident was marked resolved at 19:23.

That's about 90 minutes on the status page. In the Hacker News thread , one commenter pointed out that the same incident happened 11 days earlier, and another counted "several Actions outages in the past two weeks."

The same day, Tangled published The federated code forge , arguing that relying on someone else for your uptime "hasn't played out well." I don't think the timing was planned. It still works as an ad.

My take: don't move everything off GitHub because of one bad Friday afternoon. Spend an hour this week mirroring your repos to Codeberg, a self-hosted Forgejo or Tangled, so the next outage costs you 10 minutes instead of a lost evening.…
