I think most enterprises that make the switch aren't moving to another cloud product. They're self hosting it. Otherwise, yeah, you are subject to the same types of outages.

We've had very few noteworthy incidents self-hosting GitLab. We can size our deployments as we need, and perform upgrades during maintenance windows we control.

Claude/codex has made the stickiness much less of a problem. We just say "no new repos in GitHub" and then put agents on refactoring the existing repos for GitLab compatibility.

Self-hosted gitlab works great for us

This is such a myopic take

Go take a flamegraph of your most CPU-bound system and optimize the most expensive function

They had scheduled maintenance a few hours ago, https://letsencrypt.status.io/pages/maintenance/55957a99e800...

My assumption is that they exist, but are now competing in a larger pool of asian and white applicants - who may have better access to extracurricular opportunities that are still considered in admissions decisions - and therefore are less likely to be admitted.

So, Grafana? ;)

That is very unrealistic. Infrastructure monitoring at that scale won't even be collecting metrics at that interval.

And simple HTTP monitoring would be too flappy for a public status page.

This is intentional. It's mostly a matter of discussing how to communicate it publicly and when to flip the switch to start the SLA timer. Also coordinating incident response during a huge outage is always challenging.

Maybe I've been ruined by the internet, but a grandma didn't write this.

I don't think this is ever a good idea. Even for non-enterprise use cases, you wouldn't want some public hotspot to be able to inject random garbage into responses, even if not done with malicious intent.

As a solidly-middle-class tech worker in Massachusetts, your stance hurts a bit.

I'm a life-long renter with a family and elderly mother to support, and an IPO windfall would give me some much needed breathing room.

I don't know who you picture when you think of a windfall recipient, but I can assure you I am not lighting any cigars with $100 bills.

Possibly, but we are paying enterprise customers (but not using HCP) and this still isn't possible. Seems like an obvious thing they could have at least offered to vault enterprise or TF enterprise customers years ago.

I'm really excited to see the end-to-end state encryption. I've always thought it was bizarre that Hashicorp didn't prioritize this.

Same here, and my personal email is also not in the list.

However, my former work email, that I used to sign up for both U-verse fiber and a corporate mobile account, is on the list. I suppose that all happened in 2016-2018.

To add a datapoint, I also gamed a lot (18 and younger) but quit when I started my SWE career some 15 years ago. Have not had a desire to play since then.

We are influxdb enterprise customers and looking to do the same thing. They've kept their enterprise offering on 1.x, which has kept us mostly happy, but seeing what's going on in their OSS stuff is horrifying and we're looking to avoid the crash and burn at the end of the tunnel.

using wget here does not make it more embarrassing as its user agent was almost certainly randomized to look like normal web traffic. Normal traffic downloading lots of 10MB files... well, yeah that's not great.

To be fair, I doubt bandwidth has ever been a significant cost driver for CAs

Same here, but I would gladly pay 1Password to support this model again.

Is Grafana (the product) really that bad? we've been using it for years with hundreds of dashboards and have never had any complaints*

*until recently... the new "time series" panel is a disaster

yeah, this. It is very tone deaf to assume someone cares enough to contribute a typo fix to your personal blog.

A better response would have been "whoops, fixed! thanks for pointing that out"

dude, seriously?

"MR" so probably Gitlab
