I was not aware of the attacks going on until this happened:
1. Tried to download "Unknown Horizons" (game featured recently on Hacker News) binary, github-link doesn't work.
2. Think "Ok, might be an old link", google their github-repository, github appears down.
3. Try accessing github status website, is down.
4. Interested, try to visit github status twitter account, twitter is down.
Really weird experience, normally at least the second source of news on a downed website I try during an attack works.
- jeppebemad 10y agoHad a similar experience. When I went to confirm on twitter, that was down too. I was able to acces Twitter from my phone though, where I found a ton of tweets saying "Twitter down!". Strange.
- alexmorenodev 10y agoFunny how we're able to tell that twitter's down on twitter, but here in Brazil, when whatsapp was down, nobody could use their own whatsapp to ask or tell if whatsapp was down.
