Coderberg is nice , but their P80s are terrible. And they are hosted in Germany, which adds a few seconds to every remote command .

I wouldn’t move business critical repos there .

Everyone loses their mind when GitHub goes down once every 2 years . If codeberg provided SLas , they would probably breach them weekly

I wish GH had issues only every 2 years. That’d be amazing! We see issues weekly - if not near daily - at work. Personally I advocate for self-hosted GitLab. I like their pipelines a lot more than GH Actions too.

  • We do have a on prem GitLab (ultimate) at work and I'm pretty happy with it all in all with around ~100 active daily users.

    Privately Forgejo is fullfilling all my needs with very little maintenance work.

  • Unfortunately, IMO Gitlab is getting enshittified too and adding llm slop features instead of improving the developer experience...

    • That’s a bummer to hear. I last used GitLab in 2021 and quite enjoyed it then. Although it does make sense - GitLabs former CTO/CPO now works at OpenAI as their CRO. That kind of shift doesn’t happen in a vacuum. I worked with this person at a previous company and they were an incredibly destabilizing force there - so I was pretty nervous for GitLab after their hiring.

Except, you know, if you live in Germany. Heaven forbid we get decent ping once in a while :)

What are "P80s"? Given the context, I doubt this refers either to screens used in mineral processing or to home-built firearms, which are all that I see in the first couple pages of search results.

  • They probably mean 80th percentile of the response time distribution? Usually you see this talked about for P95 or P99

> when GitHub goes down once every 2 years

Uhh ... More like every two weeks there's some kind of incident.
