Developer-related service outages seem to have become the new "compiling" excuse: https://xkcd.com/303/

Analemma_• 8 years ago

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.

Down in Chattanooga, TN, USA

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• 8 years ago

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.

cirowrc• 8 years ago

You could have a third bot that posts a comment in the thread each time 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.

Pedantic correction (for NHI): See, this is why you shouldn't use hosted services for your core infrastructure except those that you host yourself :)

dewey• 8 years ago

Maybe also something about how git is decentralized already and we are all silly for making it central again? Also seems to be one of the regular first 10 comments on a Github downtime...

dvfjsdhgfv3• 8 years ago

And the value of karma is? There are many intelligent people here on HN. The fact that we even mention such a petty concept as karma shows we got hooked up on these little mind tricks just as easily as everyone else.

sigi45• 8 years ago

We usd github on a commercial project. I was very surprised how often github was not available.

OskarS• 8 years ago

Given how frequently those status pages are total bullshit, I'd rather put my faith in you fine community members to do it manually!

twunde• 8 years ago

It definitely depends on the company. There are a few companies that are pretty fast to update including Github. Many are ok like Twilio, Atlassian, and Mailgun (not super-fast but definitely updated pretty consistently). Then it follows a long tail where you have companies like AWS who only update after major outages and usually after an hour. Symantec is probably the worst case where I've seen that they started updating and then forgot to finish updating.

jpmoyn• 8 years ago

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.

geekjock• 8 years ago

OP here - I maintain https://pullreminders.com, so I realized GitHub was down when I started getting alerts about 500s from the GitHub API.

Artemis2• 8 years ago

So you’re already halfway done :-)

cbm-vic-20• 8 years ago

It should put up a blue screen of death.

Hedja• 8 years ago

No need to scrape it, they have an RSS feed. https://status.github.com/messages.rss

kchoudhu• 8 years ago

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

Oof.

Conlectus2• 8 years ago

Aaaaaand it's back. Edit: sort of.

w8rbt• 8 years ago

Maybe MS is adding AAAA records ;)

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

blablabla123• 8 years ago

...and removing the A records, the new Microsoft is futuristic and not backward compatible ;)

alphaIuGN595• 8 years ago

Wonder if `GitHub` is getting `DDOS`ed by somebody because of acquisition by MS.

Seems like the last 2 weeks have been pretty bad for github: https://status.github.com/messages

alphaIuGN595• 8 years ago

I see I am getting DDOSed now.. haha

sudeepj• 8 years ago

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.

r_singh2• 8 years ago

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

r_singh2• 8 years ago

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!!

x-x-x• 8 years ago

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

alphaIuGN595• 8 years ago

its back in CA..

nvr2192• 8 years ago

this is why I only use sourceforge

Jach• 8 years ago

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=sourceforge%20is%20down&sort=b...

Remember that time a few months ago they were down for days?

nvr2192• 8 years ago

I don't because I don't actually use it ever

lioeters2• 8 years ago

I can only hope this is sarcasm..

fiveFeet• 8 years ago

Haha! Good joke!

alphaIuGN595• 8 years ago

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.

blattimwind• 8 years ago

I dunno, but since https://api.github.com/meta throws a 500 I'd be wary about confirming that message just yet.

avian• 8 years ago

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

AzzieElbab• 8 years ago

Seems to be up. All your karmaz belongs to us

shoebmogal• 8 years ago

Check out https://status.github.com/messages for status

craftyguy• 8 years ago

That's literally what they linked to in this posting..

relaxatorium• 8 years ago

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

hartator• 8 years ago

Slow, but work in Austin, TX.

moretai• 8 years ago
