Dev ditches throttled GitHub Actions, open-sources dsr for local releases via act
doodlestein · x · 2026-09-22
doodlestein walked back his claim that GitHub Actions is "free for open source": heavy usage gets throttled with 20+ minute release queues that are highly disruptive. His fix is dsr (Doodlestein Self-Releaser), now open source and used daily across dozens of his projects.
How it works:
- Reuses your existing GitHub Actions workflow YAML and builds locally via nektos/act
- Takes over when Actions queue times exceed 10 minutes, uploading artifacts straight to GitHub Releases
- One-line install: curl -fsSL .../install.sh | bash
A ready-made fallback for open-source maintainers plagued by CI throttling.
