Coincidentally (?) we’ve seen a huge uptick in failed login attempts to our MFA-protected admin accounts on our self-hosted Gitlab CE instance today. They’re coming from thousands of IPs across hundreds of networks (VPS providers and, apparently, residential proxies).

Interesting that the status page was updated immediately. Is this the norm now? I remember back in the day when status pages showed all green even when servers were clearly down for a long time already.

You can use GitSocial to mirror to your own bucket for situations like this: `gitsocial mirror https://gitlab.com/owner/repo s3://s3.example.com/mybucket/repo`

I like what tangled seems like it could be but it's still too new to really use. It'd be nice if it was more of an aggregator for git servers where still access a git server whether tangled is up or not.

Maybe Sam or Dario is playing hide and seek again with the agents….

Another day, another reminder why we self-host our GitLab instance. Cloud convenience always has these kinds of trade-offs.

Just went to push code and found this out.

Hope your deploy pipeline doesn't hard-depend on GitLab. Mine did once, and the rollback was also stuck behind the same outage.

Code review for me... Hit the 503. The status page lagged the event by ~10 mins or so it seems.

git+ssh also seems affected, as I'm unable to push/pull right now.


Gasp! immediately builds a complete git alternative to never expirence a single second of downtime ever again

Half serious: I've run bare repos over ssh for years. Mine never goes down. The pain is losing PRs and CI, not the hosting.

Well, git is already distributed, so you could use _any other computer_ instead of gitlab.com...

We ran bare git on a spare box once. Fine until we wanted code review, CI, and permissions, then we crawled back to hosted.

Right, on to another alternative now

Back to GitHub /s

Bold of you to assume GitHub is up right now.

Seems they can compete with GitHub after all! /s

Reminds me of LibreOffice cloning the bugs of Office because folks relied on those bugs being there ...

Git's distributed, yet every CI pipeline and deploy hangs off one central host. SourceForge days, we pushed to another remote. Nobody does that now.
