Once again, GitHub is down. Last time an incident happened was 2 days ago [0].
Could not have happened on a worse day (Monday) and you can see how unreliable GitHub has been.
Better of self-hosting.

In my employment from the last 3 years, I saw twice that there were two migrations from internal systems to GitHub. I would think that companies are doing this for cost-cutting measures. It's not like something I am going to research but it'd be interesting that their recent issues are related to large migrations from in-house installations to github and doubly, if that is related to how large companies might be tightening up their spending in the past few years.
Anything I'd self-host would be down way more often than github.
Only for a scale approaching github's, otherwise a gitea instance or whatever doesn't have any interdependent components other than the server you host it on, which won't have nearly as low a downtime as github (though that's a low bar, a better way to phrase it would be saying it would pretty much never be down).
Monday is probably the best day for an outage? Everyone's in the office, so you're not disturbing them, and hung over, so you're not hurting their productivity much.
