       | Again? This is the third time this month. The same thing happened
       | just recently but for the whole of GitHub just _3 days ago_ : [0]
       | Most likely related to the Microsoft 365 Azure outage. [1] This
       | really doesn't look good for GitHub.
       | 
       | Self-hosting a backup sounds like a more sensible option than
       | 'going all in' on someone else's server or 'centralising
       | everything' on GitHub, as I have once again said before.

         | compared to anything managed.

           | disaster plans.
