Just wait for some politically active 22 year old who decides s/he doesn't like your politics so s/he shuts you down or deletes your data.
Cloud hosting is a nice idea. That's it, just a nice idea.

So, stop relying on centralized services.
Git works decentralized.
We're using Mercurial at my job, it's filebased, if you want it centralized you just put a repo on the fileserver and access it via VPN if needed.
But you don't even need a server, just start the builtin webserver.
Or in worst case, put the repo on a memorystick and pass it around. Not that I recommend it, mind you.

I've always called this situation "companies taking your data hostage" and this really makes it seem true.
Well, we may as well laugh, because if it isn't funny, it's quite bad.

I'm sure we work in vastly different ways. I've been able to use TFS's offline mode for a few days in the past, and when going back online, it just "did the right thing" on its own to reconsolidate everything it had detected had been changed since.

The issue for us is Matthew and I are both make some extensive changes to the code in tandem and so we are constantly checking in and syncing our changes to ensure everything's dovetailing nicely. Something like this is a bit of a buzz kill because now our changes build up as commits and then when it comes back online the chances of conflicts (or worse: one of us going down the wrong path) is higher.

I think the real issue is being centralized. If Bitbucket ever went down for a few days, my coworkers and I could push back and forth to each others repos to keep in sync with each other as needed. (Or someone who enjoys the ops part of devops, could set up a temporary shared remote for us all to work off of until things got fixed.)

You can always have your own TFS server.

We use our own local Gitea GIT server now, but I still have fond memories of my Visual Sourcesafe days

Odd that there's no mention of it on their Twitter feed, but the blog suggests[^] it's all better as of 19:46 UTC.

Strange. I have never faced any down-time with TFS after these many years use. Been an user of it, ever since TFS-online was released. Or it could be just a coincidence. That they go down at middle of the night and patch up & get going before we wake up.

A soil / air contour interface reprofiling subsystem, of course. What do you call it?

The ace of spades?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
