I am thinking when was the last time GitLab went down, I rarely or did not see downtime experience like this bad with Gitlab, I was seeing history,
https://status.gitlab.com/pages/history/
They do have some latency or slowness issues, but couldn't find like whole system down thing,
Like in one of the comments here, reminded me of 2017 incident, https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2017/02/10/postmortem-of-datab... They should have improved a lot by now, but still I am curious, why such large or frequent downtimes are happening to GitHub. Is it due to making it more open for teams with Private repos, and more perks along with quarantine and WFH things

Ask HN: A FOSS Alternative for Notion or Roam Research
Hi,So in my uni, we are having a FOSS Club(amfoss.in), we are looking for a good team notes management thing like collab, edit and do things, share etc.Currently, we are doing most of the thing using Google Docs,We have found Roam Research[1], seems promising but the thing is, it is super expensive for us to afford as we are fully student-driven club since 14+ years. So another alternative...

It is Kendriya Vidyalaya[1], chain of Central Government Schools in India, so they have almost one school in almost in a district of a state. or sometimes two or three in the state depending on Population Density.
So at that time Syllabus is something like this[2], it is not exactly same, almost same and I think this was overall pattern of that[2], now it is again revamped[3].
At our time it was more like 4 hours theory/week and 1.5/2 hours lab sessions(which sometimes becomes theory).

I agree with what you have said,
Open framework surely looks promising, so do the manifesto,
At that point, I think I was mostly self-driven with the goal of making "it works" with little to no knowledge of security aspects of things. If I am doing the same thing now I would be knowing how to do, how to "Google", and also the right place to ask, but at that time I think I wasn't aware, I do also think this or even worse is the situation of school students at least here because there is no exposure to things and the bright side of the Internet.
Also, for this to solve, one thing we can do is start FOSS and cybersecurity Clubs and build a culture among them through various ways like competitions, workshops, code-sprints, hackathons, CTFs and lot more which can be solved. Keeping that in mind, from our uni we have Started CTF competitions and bootstrapping them through workshops,
So last year(2019), we did try to have workshops and courses, classes online and offline for school students which did help them.
So the primary problem here I faced was lack of understanding of how really things work and how to explore in a better way.
