Instead, we should dogfood the FOSS ecosystem on a platform that is FOSS itself, and run as a non-profit. Codeberg, for better or worse, is the best platform for this today.
I don't know about others but for me github is hardly a service that I'm sweating moment to moment uptime. My apps are still running and so on.
Then, the outages accelerated from there.
Hilariously, after 15 years working in self hosted bitbucket systems, YES entirely.
An underfunded university with an incompetent but doing their best IT department? Zero downtime.
A mid sized company full of overly confident and "just build it" nerds building fragile shit? Zero downtime.
A large corporation with a completely outsourced IT department that can't give you access to something unless you do exactly the right undocumented thing in our internal ticketing software? Zero downtime.
That includes self hosted jenkins and literally homebuilt infrastructure with zero documentation and the guy that built it left a while ago.
I have never been able to blame our build and code infra for lack of productivity.
