Down also in Italy. But here everything is down, government too.

Maybe MS is adding AAAA records ;)

HN needs to add those too. It's embarrassing.

[+] blablabla123|7 years ago|reply
...and removing the A records, the new Microsoft is futuristic and not backward compatible ;)

I needed to look up TOML syntax, but the documentation is all on Github.

Oof.

I'm being able to use github intermittently here in India. What a Monday for coders in timezones when you expect to start the week with a productive day!!

It's down for me in California.

Always a good reminder to see what parts of your infrastructure are more dependent on Github being up than they should be.

Down in India too

I started getting errors while pushing, only then I realized that there is some outage

  remote: Unexpected system error after push was received.
  remote: These changes may not be reflected on github.com!
Even the website is not available.

Being able to use github.com right now from India without any troubles. It was down for a few minutes.

Seems like github added a new ip address for me `192.30.253.113`..

`Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.30.253.113' to the list of known hosts.`

Never seen this message before.

I regularly see new IP addresses added by GitHub via ssh messages like yours.

Developer-related service outages seem to have become the new "compiling" excuse: https://xkcd.com/303/
[+] Analemma_|7 years ago|reply
Compiling is at least a legitimate excuse though, if you don't have a build server or something. If you can't get any work done when GitHub is down, that is a red flag that your process is horribly broken.

Seems to be up. All your karmaz belongs to us

Someone should write a bot that scrapes status.github.com and posts downtimes to HN. There's a lot of Karma to be harvested still.
[+] CodyReichert|7 years ago|reply
You could have a second bot that posts a comment in the thread each time with something like: "See, this is why you shouldn't use hosted services for your core infrastructure." Lots of karma to be had there as well.

OP here - I maintain https://pullreminders.com, so I realized GitHub was down when I started getting alerts about 500s from the GitHub API.
[+] OskarS|7 years ago|reply
Given how frequently those status pages are total bullshit, I'd rather put my faith in you fine community members to do it manually!
[+] jpmoyn|7 years ago|reply
It would be really easy actually. I just checked, and they add the CSS classes `major`, and `minor` to their updates when there are issues, so it would be easy to find with beautiful soup on like a cron job or something.

It should put up a blue screen of death.
