Github.com Down Again?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- itsdrewmiller 4y agoYep, crashed within the last 5 minutes.

- leesalminen 4y agoLooking at downdetector.com right now and YouTubeTV, HostGator, DirecTV, YouTube, Paramount+, crunchyroll, slink, Philo and Roku all have big spikes in the past few minutes. Wonder how/why Github is related to all these streaming services.
- fotta 4y agoI wonder if the current US West Coast heatwave is causing some shared cloud infrastructure to go down.
- jmartens 4y agoMy guess is that there is zero correlation between all those products you mention, and Github. DownDetector is interesting, but I find it to have more noise than signal.
- colechristensen 4y agoThere is a noise floor but I’ve found it to be a pretty reliable early indicator of problems when the question was “is it just me or…” and far superior to any company’s status page.
- pcmonk 4y agoWas down for a couple minutes, is back for me
- zxcvbn4038 4y agoI've seen more unicorns today...
- hamburglar 4y agoI've seen two different error pages intermittently. One is a 500 page with a cartoon character holding a sign that says "500" and the other is a page titled "Unicorn!" with the message "We had issues producing the response to your request" and a link to a status page that says everything is fine.
- alexjplant 4y agoI've been getting the unicorn for the past few minutes... reminds me of the Steve Miller Band logo. Nothing on their status channels as of yet.
- djbusby 4y agoMine is working , web interface and CLI Edit: northeast USA
- ternaryoperator 4y agoCrashed but seems to be up again
- seanieb 4y agoits back.
- chrisseaton 4y agoIt's down again.
- kc10 4y agoYes. Statuspage is not yet updated but down at least for the last 5+ mins
- gsanderson 4y agoSeems to be back up again now, was down for me too
- oneplane 4y agoYes, intermittent but even partial loads stall out. Was about to submit for the same reason.
- chrisseaton 4y agoNo you're all mistaken - there hasn't been any down-time at all throughout all of September https://www.githubstatus.com/history https://www.githubstatus.com/history. Edit: GitHub making me look a fool by just updating it now (they didn't for the earlier outage...)
- HL33tibCe7 4y agoIt was a bright cold day in April, and github.com was up…
- fotta 4y agothere is no outage in Github Sing Se
- weeeeelp 4y ago
- djhaskin987 4y agoIt happened to me and I was also confused. I saw it wasn't on the status page, and I thought, GitHub must be like Amazon, unwilling to admit fault on the status page.
- colechristensen 4y agoJust link how successful a team is with a metric, OKRs are great! Downtime is gone now someone’s promotion depends on it… /s Oh, I mean, let’s redefine downtime so we can have nice numbers and everybody gets congratulated. /s When you measure something for “consequences” you tend to destroy the value of the measurement.

- presidentender 4y agoPartial outages of cloud services feel more and more common lately. AWS had degraded service a few weeks (months?) ago. Am I mis-remembering how robust everything except Reddit and Twitter used to be? It feels as if the internet caught a nasty cold at some point and just can't kick it.
- withinboredom 4y agoAlso, it seems way more common to find devs you work with to be over-idealized (focusing on “code beautification” or some other vanity metric vs. accomplishing a task). There’s nothing wrong with beautiful code, but I’ve seen the complexity it can add to an otherwise simple project.
- sjrd 4y agoTo me, if the code is not "as simple as possible, but not simpler", it is not beautiful.
- withinboredom 4y agoAnd there’s nothing wrong with that, but, I’ve seen some devs these days spend waaay too much time on “making it simpler” or whatever their ideal is, at the cost of error handling or you know, solving an actual problem. Personally, I don’t care what the code looks like as long as it’s resilient in the face of unexpected errors (ex: a user input of 0 to a division function is not “exceptional,” you should have anticipated that, while a service input of the same may be a breach of contract between the services and IS exceptional) and actually solves a problem.
- zoover2020 4y agoYou're contradicting yourself here already. Resilient code is easy to read/grasp code. It should pass a 3 am test too.

- taf2 4y agoBased on the comments maybe they were just A/B testing the new 500 error page?
- Aperocky 4y agoBased on data we can report that 90% of the customers do not like the 500 error page.
- PCloud 4y ago
- jmartens 4y agoThe errors seems to be rather intermittent. Metrist saw a grouping of them at about 4am pacific today, and then again 3pm. That said, in the last hour, less than 1% of Metrist functional tests failed.
- layer8 4y agoLuckily, Git is decentralized, so that shouldn't be an issue.
- tenken 4y agoI guess you don't use GitHub Actions or a CI build workflow ...
- layer8 4y agoExactly my point.
- chrisseaton 4y agoSarcasm doesn't work on the internet - there's no way to read your tone.
- pessimizer 4y agoMore like it doesn't work on the internet with a general audience, because some people will need you to say something in a funny voice to know not to believe it.
- layer8 4y agoIn this instance I’d say it’s rather a question of how naive/innocent you think the poster must be for it to not be sarcasm.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIt also doesn't work very well as "making a point" sarcastically, because that largely depends on pretending github only does git, and there's very little reason to do that.
- layer8 4y agoThe point being made is that we lose the decentralization benefits of Git if we tie ourselves to the proprietary functionality of centralized platforms, as the current event demonstrates. Obviously Git being decentralized doesn’t help much when GitHub is down. But why is that so? Because of GitHub’s proprietary centralized features. The comment was intended as food for thought that maybe we as an industry shouldn’t tie us so much to those features then. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if when GitHub is down we could just move to a different GitHub instance? Isn’t it sad that we can’t, although it would be very feasible technologically?
- alx__ 4y agoWest coast servers having trouble with the heat wave?
- frozencell 4y agoCould an on-chain Github.com fork prevents those down times?
- zacharycohn 4y agoNo.
- Tesl 4y agoNo.
- abdouls 4y agoSeems to be timing out pretty often on my end for the last 2h.
- rvz 4y agoAgain? Looks like it is always down at least twice a month. [0] Doesn't affect you, if you are self-hosting like GNOME, KDE, Linux, wireguard, Redox OS, Wine etc who are not going all in on GitHub services. GitHub is still unreliable even after two years of calling it [1] with little to no improvement.

- gxt 4y agoFor some reason I feel like I missed the timeline where "free" cloud services are hosted at the public library, and paid with a monthly subscription. Specifically a registry of all available services worldwide, by location, and automatically billed and paid to the right entity. So if you want X service, pay for it, Y% goes to the software maker, the rest to the local host, and automatically gets installed at your location of choice.
- bob778 4y agoIt’s still intermittently down and most CI jobs are failing with network or authentication errors. A bit disappointing that the status page makes no mention of this. It was also giving 500 errors about 14 hours ago for 30 mins and went undocumented
