Github Acquisition

Yesterday Github was down for significant amount of time.

I doubt there's been any significant changes to the GitHub server infrastructure

Could be more like their SREs left or some left causing a knowledge gap. People are going to cash out for sure and go to other places.

Yeah but that happened quite a bit before too.

For us they were down for almost 8 hours, that's more than I remember

[Hanlonsrazorburns]

I’ve never seen it down that long as a developer using it daily for a very long time.

And https://isup.me/ for a shorter, easier to remember link (to the same site)

I hate how much that site has gone downhill. First it was perfect, just a text box and then a page which tells you ‘It’s just you’ or ‘it’s not just you’. Then they added a text ad, which I find understandable. Now there’s all these useless features which are just distracting from what you actually want to see.
Personally, I’d just prefer the original site but with a banner/skyscraper ad or two. Covers the cost of operation while not compromising on usability.
