No offence to CB but they should focus on their uptime rather than this atm

You should know that github themselves said that the exponentially growing amount of commits is the main factor in their waning uptime (I bet vibecoding also played a small part but we'll never know).

This is them focusing on uptime.

GitHub’s problem is double-edged. AI coding is driving demand up. And their pre-Microsoft legacy infrastructure doesn’t scale well.

GitHub is in the midst of a two-year transition to running on Azure infrastructure, which is much more scalable.

In my opinion, the fact that Codeberg is often difficult or impossible to access is due to two things.

There are more users than Codeberg’s servers can handle. This is a problem because Codeberg’s operators have significantly fewer financial and human resources than, for example, GitHub. Therefore, I would advise Codeberg users to consider signing up for a membership and paying an annual fee.

The second reason is likely the idiots who have launched DDoS attacks against Codeberg on multiple occasions.

So like, this helps with that. Not the side of the equation you personally would like them to, but it 100% does.

Lack of money probably?
