"back" yet several additional messages of additional problems
I do wonder if this is the new standard when moving everything from AWS to Azure.
We all knew it was going to be. Nothing was going to stop management from doing it anyways.
Radicle is starting to seem less radical as the outages continue... https://radicle.dev/
You don't even have to go full ~~re~~, uh, I mean full self-hosted/P2P with it. You can sign up at https://radicle.garden/ and use that as your main seed/mirror thingy. radicle.garden is always online/available, so you don't have to host anything, but you also get other randos seeding/mirroring your repo, adding more availability to your code.
I juuuust starting looking into Radicle, so I don't fully have an opinion formed yet...
Interesting. Sounds like a Freenet solution, but with git in mind.
P2P proves yet again to be the best solution for availability problems. At least until the seeds disappear, which happens because storage isn't infinite.

What an interesting project! Unfortunately I need MCP support, which is why I now host my own GitLab instance to get rid of GitHub.
I primarily use GitLab, is that actually better?
So far, yes. A large part of this is likely because GitLab is not hosted on Azure
Microslop strikes again!
