It's pretty wild that AWS is having impacts for the dyn outage given the shoutout to Route53. Wonder what they know that they don't?
Not sure if people are confusing Amazon with AWS in this case. $ dig +short ns amazon.com ns1.p31.dynect.net. pdns1.ultradns.net. ns4.p31.dynect.net. pdns6.ultradns.co.uk. ns3.p31.dynect.net. ns2.p31.dynect.net.

Really? It's unclear there's any connection between that vague article and Dyn's problems today.

They're widely used because they were one of the few providers of geo-aware DNS service for a long time. (These days there are other, cheaper options, including Amazon Route53.)
Other option would have been Akamai's geo-aware DNS that has been available for a long time.
I'm updating a list of confirmed outages as I see them here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12759520 So far twitter, etsy, soundcloud, spotify, github, pagerduty...crazy that this can even happen
I'm surprised; I would have thought such large sites would use more than one DNS provider? I mean: $ host -t NS twitter.com twitter.com name server ns4.p34.dynect.net. twitter.com name server ns3.p34.dynect.net. twitter.com name server ns2.p34.dynect.net. twitter.com name server ns1.p34.dynect.net. I would have expected at least one of those to be somewhere else. What is the reason they would not have a backup provid…
I'm not saying it's a good reason but it's a reason.

Damn, I've spent the past 30 minutes trying to update my DNS and playing with my router config! :) No GitHub, well, it's gonna be a fun Friday...
Isn't it the whole idea of git to make user independent from place like github? After all if you have the repository on your local machine you can continue working as if nothing happened, right?
Yup. But the whole point of GitHub is to make you dependent on GitHub.
They've been slightly successful.

This is what you can do to restore your GitHub access: grep github ~/.ssh/known_hosts sudo vim /etc/hosts sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder ping github.com
