Self-Host GitHub? Impossible to Match That 89% Uptime
Description
A screenshot of a tweet from verified user i2cjak (@i2cjak), shown in a Russian-language Twitter/X interface ('Подписаться' follow button, 'Показать перевод' show-translation link), with a stylized black-and-white avatar. The tweet reads: 'Host your own GitHub? That's impossible. Do you know how hard it is to reach 89% uptime???' The sarcasm cuts at GitHub's frequent, well-publicized outages: the usual argument against self-hosting (you can't match a hyperscaler's reliability) is inverted by implying GitHub's own uptime is laughably low, so a self-hosted Gitea/GitLab instance would struggle to be that bad

89% uptime is just GitHub practicing chaos engineering on everyone's CI for free
Apparently the hardest part of self-hosting GitHub is reproducing the authentic downtime.
