We just received the API usage approval from Google, and I'm integrating GBP to https://pinpost.io this week (our reliability first social media management tool)
I'd be interested in,
1. a SOME-TRUST model: a list of opt-outs for the known software that collect telemetry; so that I can just paste that into an env file and be done with it.
2. a ZERO-TRUST model [preferable]: where I control if an application can send any telemetry data; instead of depending on a flag that the distributor may or may not respect.
Is Github losing any significant business from all these outages?
Curious because for a long time we as an industry maintained that reliability and brand value are business critical; but seems like they are cared very little now a days.
And as recently as two or three years ago it was universally agreed that the only way to reliably and securely deliver software was via repeatable builds with an attested chain of custody and auditable bill of materials and everybody just gave up on that completely when the LLMs got somewhat better.
They are entrenched enough that it's wrote off as cost of doing business. Big business have their internal instances so they are "insulated", everyone else isn't as critical and have the resources to do an internal solution or move.
I'm pretty sure it still does - I used it at a previous job and at somewhere that I interviewed recently they said they used GitHub (given their size and being a somewhat regulated industry I can't imagine they rely on github.com).
