Github is down
githubstatus.com/incidents/j597…

I can't pull vim plugins and other stuff I needed. I miss old days when you can pull files from individual http/ftp server.

I just hope Microsoft is not moving them to IIS. Lol.

Dear opensource project creators and maintainers,

Repeat after me:

Go for self-hosting your projects on a solution like GitLab/ Gitea to avoid this problems. No need to use Microsoft. They work very closely with evil branches of government that treats kids & minorities poorly

Github is going downhill since Microsoft took over.

For my side projects, I use self-host Gitea. I know someone who is very active in FOSS and uses Raspberry Pi with Gitea too. You don't need high-end server.

GNOME, Xfce, Wireguard, KDE and many FOSS projects are using self hosted version.
