They seem to be having an issue with release downloads (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/212407).

Our CI is broken at the moment, unable to download tools used in various checks (gitleaks, etc).

Why dont companies host their own CI anyways.. Its really not that complicated. I see companies spending 20k a month on github actions.. It makes no sense to me.

The opportunity cost is higher.

We migrated to GitLab a while back, and run Buildkite for CI.

Our public mirrors for open source stuff that results in built binaries that we ship is built on GitHub Actions from the public GitHub mirror so we have build attestation from the source.

Sometimes you're just dependent on things.

Its more work, you get the blame if it goes wrong, and its not your money.

Release download speeds felt particularly slow over the last week on my setup for whatever reason.
