Ok, pick a ticket and do some work on it locally, when that's done do the same with another. I can go a full day without interacting with github because I'm working on a local branch. Make a note of what branches you need to push later. I can't possibly imagine throwing my arms up and saying the day is wasted because I have to work locally. It's completely unbelievable.

I understand your point and agree, but "pick a ticket" can be hard if you use GitHub issues for those.

You could use jira for tickets. Why put all your eggs in one basket?

Because the Jira basket is burning excrement.
Not everyone is on pacific time. This impacted us right in the middle of a standup call and disrupted our planning for the day.
Also, the problem is more that you don't know how long the outage is going to last at first, so you start finding other ways to occupy your time. Through the lens of hindsight, yes we are certainly being hyperbolic in those cases where it was only 30 minutes.
