ok this is actually really annoying now

What the `zsh` working with `fuck` think of your comment on OSX: git:(master) ok this is actually really annoying now zsh: command not found: ok git:(master) fuck look this is actually really annoying now [enter/↑/↓/ctrl+c] look: is: No such file or directory git:(master) fuck > No fucks given That's kind of perfect.

Nice! And in this case the perfect is not the enemy of the good!

I was going to stay up for a middle-of-the-night release (DB migrations, bleh). Instead, posted https://status.github.com/ into slack and am packing up and going to the bar.

Can you imagine what would happen if the same happened to Slack? No communication in thousands of companies.

For the impatient. I would make a gist but... while true; do curl -s https://status.github.com/api/status.json | grep good && tput bel || echo -n .; sleep 1; done

Here is a version which uses OSX's say command for a spoken announcement of " github is up again ". It also checks once every minute instead of once a second. while true; do curl -s https://status.github.com/api/status.json | egrep 'good|minor' && say -r 160 "github is up again" || echo -n .; sleep 60; done Edit: accept a status of minor as an indication of up-ness.

say "github" does not get the pronunciation right. say "git hub" is the way to go!

> January 28, 2016 > 00:00 EST The status is still red at the beginning of the day They seem to have some time issues as well since it's not yet January 28th in EST.

Perhaps it's in a different timezone to EST

That would be odd since all other times are (correctly) reported in EST.

Content addressed links at least make this possible. With http you have to reach a particular server. If that server is down, the link is broken. With ipfs all you need is at least one machine on the entire network to be serving a file and the link will work and as an added bonus you can verify the hash of what you get so a mitm attack on that link is impossible.

Very interesting. Do you think ipfs could be used to mimic a server to host a static website that could be loaded by a browser?

You mean like this?

:-) IPFS includes an optional http gateway to give the traditional web access to IPFS before browsers support the IPFS protocol natively.

I once ran rm -rf in the production mysql data directory. Shit happens.

You are the human manifestation of "the chaos monkey"
