    The good thing with Git is, that many people have copies of the entire project history. This is a backup and people can still work on the project until servers are up again.

      For codebases yes. The issue I got locked out of today is Guthub’s container registry and couldn’t pull any images.

      It also makes migrating a project to another git hosting service easy. The only problem for us were the tickets.

        That should’ve been a git repo, just like the wiki. I imagine major projects are backing them up or mirroring them somewhere else. It’s not the first time this has come up.

    Came here to post! Beat me to it.

    I think it’s geography based. Works for me from the west coast (usa) but not the east. :(

    Only found out because coincidentally DEVOPS IS GITHUB. So yea, I guess add another non-critical thing to the playbook.

      It was down for me on the west coast, maybe you just missed it.

      Also thanks Microsoft

      Doesn’t look like a bot unless I’m missing something. Kind of a werid thing to say as a mod when it would probably be a better question to ask in private with other mods.

        Was only a joke due to the nature of the post and the username being aligned; not an intentional slight.

        But it would also be better that you don’t get offended for others. Let them say what they want to say if they need to.

          Did I say I was offended or that what you said was intentionally an insult or are you just assuming I did?

            just to be clear: there’s no way to turn off mod plates (it is very annoying), so unless it’s contextually clear we’re speaking in mod/admin contexts you should generally assume we are not doing so and are using the site like you. i think this is the issue we’re running into here

              Okay but is this level of aggression necessary for what is a reasonable concern? If you could provide this explanation, why couldn’t the moderator I responded to have provided it?

              My concern is that, like Reddit, these kinds of things can be misconstrued simply because of the moderator symbol and that it is not conducive to an inclusive environment.

                i don’t think you’re going to get a satisfactory answer from me here, because i wouldn’t really consider the response you got unusually aggressive and i don’t disagree with Odo’s point as a general rule. in any case: from my perspective this is an interpersonal user dispute and not a big deal and i don’t see why i need to continue to intervene here past this reply. i’m only intervening at all because i want to clarify that we have literally no control over whether the mod/admin plate displays, and that accordingly users are going to have to be a bit conscientious of the context we say things in until we can toggle it or whatever.

              Agreed, and 100% correct. I’m speaking as myself here, and not as an admin or mod. In that case, I’d make sure to ‘distinguish’ the comment as being ‘admin’ posted. The comment above is my opinion and thoughts, not that of Beehaw itself.

      The heck? I didn’t get it at first, but I looked at this in a Lemmy instance and the OP name is different? On kbin, OP is xtremeownage. But on the original instance, their username somehow shows up as HTTP_404_NotFound, but still links as xtremeownage.

      Does Lemmy have some sorta different display name vs username thing?

      • @realChem@beehaw.orgEnglish

        Their actual username is xtremeownage, which is why it still links that way, but lemmy lets users set a display name that’s different from their username (in this case, HTTP_404_NotFound). Sounds like kbin doesn’t respect lemmy display name settings.
