Guess they're too busy working on the issue to notice the misuse of "effecting" instead of "affecting."

Yup, a coworker was wondering why a build failed, a minute later I saw this.

Well, it's not like we have invented binary and source packages two decades ago, so people don't need to re-download and re-build their build-time dependencies every time they start compilation. Oh wait, we have.

Yep, but nobody ever includes them. Nice stuff to automate, gotta chek if there is already DevOpsy stuff to fix that, and if there isn't, got me a new weekend project...

It is obviously gonna be hosted on GitHub. Oh, the irony...

Luckily, git is a distributed control system and we all remembered to: git remote add backup git push backup

I'd actually like a gitolite-like system that takes my pushes and replicates them among Gitlab/Github/Bitbucket/repo.or.cz. I'm sure it's possible with hooks, but every time I get around to looking into it, GitHub is back up

Now that GitHub is back up again, it looks like a cron version of https://help.github.com/articles/duplicating-a-repository/ would get me some of the way there.

As GitHub queues up webhooks, we're bracing for impact at buddybuild! :)

You shouldn't notice a webhook deluge because the site isn't generating events. I'm watching our webhook services though and will let you know if that changes.

Hi Kyle!

It looks like webhooks are wedged.. no?

From the site: First we connect to GitHub to find out what the latest revision for this repository is, so that we know what we want to get. GitHub tells us it’s 5fbfea8de... Then we go out to the GitTorrent network. So yeah, wouldn't have saved you.

The article continues and covers solutions to that.

I'm not sure how ddos'ing github would help with the outage. runs script

Judging by the fact that their status page is still up I'd say that the service is pretty independent of the rest of the site. If my one-liner gets popular enough to do damage to Github when China can't then I will be extremely proud of myself. :D
