Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

It is.

We're still recovering; please give the site a bit of time to come back! Not everything can be expected to work until we've gone green on status.github.com. Thanks

Their source code pointing to Github is symbolic of exactly how this problem hasn't been solved yet.

I didn't say it was solved, but they are very close. IPFS is essentially a global p2p git repo, with a cryptographically controlled branch namespace.

That sounds very cool. I was just pointing out how divorced these ideas still are from the way we actually program and implement things on the web.

In an ideal world, a link to a source code repository (or a link to anything for that matter...) would never fail because there would be automatic mirrors to at least provide read-only access to it.

It sort of forces one to ask whether this is the result of fundamental mistakes within HTTP / DNS itself. It's not realistic for a web designer to put time into making external links fault tolerant by running some query to switch the routing link to an available node.

Yeah I got this as well and no changes on github.com so much for creating this release tonight. :/ I hope they will fix this otherwise this push went into oblivion and the client thinks all is well.

I wish they say more than > We're investigating a significant network disruption affecting all github.com services.

I would prefer that they focus on getting back up and publish a post-mortem after the fact.

It's not like Github has 2 engineers only.

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…

Companies/people don't learn on their mistakes. Almost everything is on GitHub nowadays. This makes it a SPOF even if Git itself is distributed. More companies should host their projects on premises. There are good open source alternatives to GitHub: Apache Allura, Fossil, GitBucket, GitLab, Phabricator, and Redmine.
