How did they get Github Pages into “degraded performance”? Aren’t those just CDN stored static pages?

I believe Pages uses Actions under the hood for publishing, so in my head it sort of makes sense for these things to be affected in the same outage

You are right, didn’t know that.

Seems like the only reliable way to run GHA jobs is to not use their runners. Hope they at least didn’t break self-hosted runners operations

Well hopefully reads aren't affected then...

Already built pages are still being served, but I've been waiting for 3 hours for an action to rebuild a single fix to a broken link.
