https://resources.github.com/actions/2026-pricing-changes-for-github-actions/Selfhosted GitHub Actions will become paywalled in 3 months.Your CI/CD pipeline that runs on your own selfhosted hardware will become a paid feature thanks to M$.Now anons, will you switch to Forgejo Actions? Will you selfhost your own git forge?
>>107571842>>107571842>GitHub ActionsWhat are those? I just post code that's all I use github for.
torvalds save us!oh, i don't even know what a github action is.
I think that's just a mistake on the website. and they meant to write "will apply to Github-hosted runner usage"
>>107572068it's the shit that runs tests and builds. oh, an it is vibe coded by cow dung worshipers.yknow what, kinda sus how zig jumped ship even before this came to light.
>>107572100Orange Reddit confirms it's not a mistake. Microsoft is going to charge you for code executed on your own hardware.
>>107572068Automated workflows that will run when an event triggers them.We have a workflows that automatically build a staging environment on our local development servers every time someone push a commit on the dev branch.It was always paid when the workflow was running on GitHub own servers, now Microsoft wants to paywall workflow execution even on our own selfhosted servers.>>107572100The screenshot you see in the OP is the actual email sent by GitHub.
What do these services solve that a makefile or any other script cannot?
When you are using github actions using your own runners, there is still quite a lot of control, management, and orchestration logic running on the github side. Charging a nonzero fee for that is not unreasonable.
Github was never meant to be used by the general public. Its real customer base are businesses, and if you can't afford to be hosted on Github then fuck off with your little project.

>>107572262the more i read the worse it gets>>107572248you can just use a local password manager to generate the one-time keys. wouldn't trust it with anything else, mind you.
>>107572262>error is ultimately doing != when you should have done <wow I thought everyone knew to prefer the latter just in caseinteresting how some of these programming bugs are not really related to the actual task at hand or programming language but just failures to apply these broad principles
>>107571842Someone has to pay the AI bills, anon.Expect more nickel and diming policy changes from weird places to come soon since the companies already know that youre locked in on other products or cannot shift a business in a reasonable time frame given a bunch of sticky points and a desire for managers to constantly push shit through without any care for tech debt.There's probably businesses running on spreadsheet and email handoffs that would get absolutely rekt by Google deciding to charge $.02 an email and $1 per day per user per spreadsheet accessed as a means to offset Gemini costs.

>>107572188>Microsoft is going to charge you for code executed on your own hardware.I swear, if their hubris is going to get anymore explicit it is going to grow corporeal to be able to literally stab you in the back with a knife.
>>107572262 SECONDS=0 while [[ $SECONDS != $1 ]]; do : done the fuck is this
SECONDS=0 while [[ $SECONDS != $1 ]]; do : done
>>107572419the error is actually inventing a square sleep (when simultaneously depending on a magic bash variable)
What will it take for Devops "Engineers" to realize githooks exist?
>>107572227A makefile will only build. Actions are part of CI/CD which will automate everything according to your workflows.>>107572234>there is still quite a lot of control, management, and orchestration logic running on the github side.We were already eyeing Forgejo and Forgejo Actions. Now with this news it's guaranteed that we will switch our git forge in the near future.>Charging a nonzero fee for that is not unreasonable.Yet it's not that expensive compared to the amount of code hosted for free with all of those public and private repositories.Builds were already happening on our own servers via their runners. This is straight up nickel and diming.>>107572427Thank god we received this with a 3 month notice. Pretty reasonable for us, we are a small team and we already have experience with selfhosted runners, selfhosting a git forge shouldn't be that hard right?
>>107571842Why not terraform?
>>107571842Are you telling me that retards using github get what they asked for?
>>107572505A spinlock written in shell. According to MS engineers, aka Copilot, that's the best solution to a generic 'wait for N seconds' in shell for build scripts.

>>107572729>A makefile will only build. Actions are part of CI/CD which will automate everything according to your workflows.makefiles can do anything bash scripts can do. zillions of projects have a make test target.
>>107571842Azure DevOps has NO limits on git LFS storage and costs $15 per extra (one is free) self-hosted CI/CD parallel job with unlimited minutesyet you still suck github dick
>>107573352>makefiles can do anything bash scripts can doand workflows include triggers to decide when to run those makefiles or bash scripts (or however you want to implement the steps), and make it easier to restrict permissions
