They're also on Prolexic right now, so...big DDoS, likely state-sponsored?

How can you spot Prolexic? I just checked their DNS/IPv4 and it seems to be pointing regular hosting

So... you were doing a production redeploy, and it crashed? The URL "git://github.com/components/ember.git" [1] suggests this is an internal GitHub Bower build log, but your post history doesn't mention anything about GitHub (let alone whether you work there), so I'm not 100.00% sure.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but ikawe was joking about the bower thing. Source: I work at GitHub.

I missed the joke. Either way- hope you get everything up and running soon!

Does anyone know if an extremely controversial new peice of software was recently pushed ?

No, but there's recently been a lot of talk about the Hidden Tear ransomware source being taken off of GitHub soon. Given that the author has already been blackmailed and all the drama surrounding that, this is a possibility.

Does this have something to do with the constant DoS attacks they've been getting from a certain country for hosting certain open source projects that defy the censorship authority of said certain country?

Russia? China? Is it forbidden to state the country?

You have been banned from /r/Pyongyang.

Actually, I'm pretty dumb. Can't move the repo to bitbucket since Github is down.

If you have a local copy of the repo, you definitely could.

True. If it's not back in a few hours, I'll have to resort to that.

Every time this happens people make clever remarks about how Git is distributed but we're all depending on GitHub for so much that we defeat the purpose. But once GitHub comes back up, everyone just gets back to work, trusting and relying on it as much as ever. Eventually it goes down again, and we come back to complain. Convenience is the only thing that we seem to value. (I'm no different, which makes my comment co…

Only that I don't expect data loss since it is distributed and even if GitHub gets wiped clean I can just happily push up all my stuff from the local repositories and get on with my life.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Nomen est omen Mr. Chewbacha?

The status page update seems like some ironic machine rant "The status is still red at the beginning of the day" ( http://take.ms/50Tox ) Hubot has assumed control...the singularity is upon us!!!

Yeah, I am confused by the existence of a status report for a time 3.5hrs in the future. Guess they're just trying to get ahead of the game and set some realistic expectations.

Maybe it's GMT mistakenly labeled as PST?
