Lovely error page.

  I was wondering why the same screenshot in five different color schemes? Why put an image on your website, but in all color schemes your designer proposed because you couldn't settle on which version was the best. Is there a story behind this? Other sites have other error pages btw: https://security.stackexchange.com https://security.stackexchange.com And then there are pages that just say "The service is unavailable." without any markup at all (I was originally trying to access a review queue when noticing it's down).

Does stackoverflow have an official status page?
- lucb1e 5y ago
  https://stackstatus.net https://stackstatus.net https://twitter.com/StackStatus https://twitter.com/StackStatus Neither says anything (at the time of writing).

I have noticed SO similar problems during last week, maybe slightly more.

I get a simple "the service is unavailable"

  They seem to alternate between that and a more interesting error page giving links to the two status pages and with five screenshots of the same binary stuff in a terminal editor. I would make a screenshot or link to the Internet Archive but SO seems to be coming back and IA is bugging out on the site anyhow (when I try to capture it, it saves the favicon only and forgets about the page link that I actually entered? I sent a bug report). Edit: aaaand it's down again, here's a screenshot for those who don't know it: https://snipboard.io/RKAprq.jpg https://snipboard.io/RKAprq.jpg IA managed to capture a different error 5 seconds later: https://web.archive.org/web/20220206231215/https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2161752/how-to-count-the-frequency-of-the-elements-in-an-unordered-list https://web.archive.org/web/20220206231215/https://stackover...

    I've seen the error page in the past. Terminal output with colored control characters.
