I feel sympathy for all the engs at companies I've implemented CI/CD based on Gh Actions in recent years. It's not like I didn't tell them that Github showed to be somewhat unreliable in the recent years and in contrast to their claim "it's just the build pipeline, not the product" I think it is a horrible incident if you're not able to deploy to production and have barely any ad-hoc backup.

I'm always evangelizing Argo or Flux and some self-hosted Gitlab or gitea, but seems like they all prefer to throw their money at Github as of now.

Seems to be a fairly catastrophic failure. https://github.com/ fails to load. https://www.githubstatus.com/ shows all green as of this writing. Nothing on the twitter yet https://twitter.com/githubstatus edit: The outage is now acknowledged on the status page https://www.githubstatus.com/ edit: EU folks appear to have things working so it looks like a regional network fault

Strange stuff, as it works completely fine for me in the EU? I just posted comments to several issues. Edit: Front page still loads and I am logged in. Everything is as normal. Status page shows everything is down. Lol.

Switched on a VPN in EU and it started loading. I can get back to what I was doing now ;).

So down right now...I wonder why they still use https://www.githubstatus.com/ that reports everything is alright when it's not!

Pretty much every company has been shown to have fake status pages at this point.

Status pages are updated by humans and the humans need to (1) realize there's a problem and (2) understand the magnitude of the problem and (3) put that on the status page.

It's not fake, it's just a human process. And automating this would be error prone just the same.

I am laughing so hard right now. My best friend mocked me for using git.lain.faith to host my code, saying it wasn't reliable. Well, well, well. In the last year GitLain hasn't gone down once.

I know he was still right in a way, who knows when git.lain.faith will just disappear. But still. I'm going to send some texts to bother him right now, hahaha.

140.82.113.0/24 is visible in the global routing table: route-views>sh bgp 140.82.113.0 BGP routing table entry for 140.82.113.0/24, version 62582026 Paths: (19 available, best #4, table default) The route is verified by RPKI so it's not a route hijack. Edit: deleted traceroute

github.com for me returns 140.82.121.3 which routes fine in the uk, returning from lb-140-82-121-3-fra.github.com which from the distance and name I would assume is a frankfurt based load balancer. I get there from BT -> Zayo I can reach that IP from Washington too, but github returns 140.82.114.3 and 140.82.114.4 from DNS at 1.1.1.1 on a Level3 handoff in Washington Spot checks around the place show the first return…

Same from Finland, and same route. (Except my ISP instead of BT).
