That pink "Unicorn!" joke is something that should be reconsidered. When your services are down you're probably causing a lot of people a lot of stress ; I don't think it's the time to be cute and funny about it.

EDIT: my bad, seems to be their server's name.

Of course they're down while I'm trying to address a "High severity" security bug in Caddy but all I'm getting is a unicorn when loading the report. (Actually there's 3 I'm currently working, but 2 are patched already, still closing the feedback loop though.) I have a 2-hour window right now that is toddler free. I'm worried that the outage will delay the feedback loop with the reporter(s) into tomorrow and ultimatel…

have you considered moving or having at least an alternative? asking as someone using caddy for personal hosting who likes to have their website secure. :)

If you'd have asked me a few years ago if anything could be an existential threat to github's dominance in the tech community I'd have quickly said no. If they don't get their ops house in order, this will go down as an all-time own goal in our industry.

Github lost at least one 9, if not two, since last year's "existential" migration to Azure.

You're absolutely right! Sorry I deleted your database.

I can help you restore from backups if you will tell me where you backed it up. You did back it up, right? Right before you ran me with `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` and gave me full access to your databases and S3 buckets?

You're right! Let's just quickly promote your only read replica to the new primar---oops!
