GitHub was down 2 years ago

That is very unrealistic. Infrastructure monitoring at that scale won't even be collecting metrics at that interval.

And simple HTTP monitoring would be too flappy for a public status page.

This is intentional. It's mostly a matter of discussing how to communicate it publicly and when to flip the switch to start the SLA timer. Also coordinating incident response during a huge outage is always challenging.

I don't think this is ever a good idea. Even for non-enterprise use cases, you wouldn't want some public hotspot to be able to inject random garbage into responses, even if not done with malicious intent.

As a solidly-middle-class tech worker in Massachusetts, your stance hurts a bit.

I'm a life-long renter with a family and elderly mother to support, and an IPO windfall would give me some much needed breathing room.

I don't know who you picture when you think of a windfall recipient, but I can assure you I am not lighting any cigars with $100 bills.

Possibly, but we are paying enterprise customers (but not using HCP) and this still isn't possible. Seems like an obvious thing they could have at least offered to vault enterprise or TF enterprise customers years ago.

Same here, and my personal email is also not in the list.

However, my former work email, that I used to sign up for both U-verse fiber and a corporate mobile account, is on the list. I suppose that all happened in 2016-2018.

To add a datapoint, I also gamed a lot (18 and younger) but quit when I started my SWE career some 15 years ago. Have not had a desire to play since then.

We are influxdb enterprise customers and looking to do the same thing. They've kept their enterprise offering on 1.x, which has kept us mostly happy, but seeing what's going on in their OSS stuff is horrifying and we're looking to avoid the crash and burn at the end of the tunnel.

using wget here does not make it more embarrassing as its user agent was almost certainly randomized to look like normal web traffic. Normal traffic downloading lots of 10MB files... well, yeah that's not great.

yeah, this. It is very tone deaf to assume someone cares enough to contribute a typo fix to your personal blog.

A better response would have been "whoops, fixed! thanks for pointing that out"
