I could name plenty of other systems nobody wants and speak to their uptime, too? My Plex server probably has better uptime than GitHub lately but I’m not gonna start pushing my code there. It does its job serving the barbie movie, just like defi tells me who to unfollow.

The whole point of git was its decentralisation.

Then people just moved to a client/server model hanging off github.

But you're right, local servers are more reliable than big cloud ones.

I think you may have missed a bit of their point... a plex server is a video hosting server.. like a personal Netflix. They wouldn't push their code to their Plex server because it's not a server that accepts code pushes.
Last time I checked plex was just a linux box with some software. No reason why you can't push a git repository onto it
Plex is a piece of software for playing media. It's not an operating system.
which runs on a linux server
somebody needs a shovel to make the hole they are digging easier. this is sad to watch, but i'm enjoying the popcorn.

Not on average. On average, with proper failover and redundancy, you can get five nines, which is 5 minutes of downtime per year. I have that much every time I reboot my machine.
