#32Wouldn't it be a good idea for Github to set up a video + sound stream from their office when these things occur? I for one would watch. Can't really work anyway (at least that's what I persuade myself to think).
How could that possibly be a good idea for them? More distractions while they're trying to fix shit?

#33Good thing about decentralized version control systems is that they're decentralized.
I hope github can deal with today's issue without too much trouble, but it's not a major inconvenience to me and the rest of my company's devs. We can just push and pull changes to some convenient in-house server via ssh to sync up our work.

I'm just joking. (But who knows, maybe people would take lighter on the downtime if they could see the team working really hard to fix it).

#35How is this an interesting news ? Because my comment isn't clear. This is not an interesting news. A link to the twitter status or the github status ( https://status.github.com/messages ) would be relevant in that case. not just some link to a third party telling us it's down. Yeah thank you. I could have notice it on my own....
It's the main hosting service for most developers' source code and a large part of how many open source projects organize, communicate and work. I guess that makes it a tiny bit more relevant than yet another post about how some mediocre entrepreneur thinks we should all live our lives.
You didn't get his point. The submitted URL doesn't provide useful information, https://status.github.com/messages could have been used instead.
May be when the link was submitted the official information wasn't available. OK, then just wait for something useful because if the site is down and I'm affected I can see that myself, I don't need to read HN.
EDIT: oh, looks like the original comment was edited.

Bad thing about github is that people tend to use it in a non-decentralized manner. In our case, all of our deploys do a clone from github.

GitHub's employees are massively distributed. A video + sound stream might not be as interesting as you think.

#38Why this kind of links get always promoted? What's the point? Genuine question.
Agreed.
If you're affected you know, if you're not you don't care.
Your comment is ten minutes old, and the site is back. Not that I noticed the outage.

#39@githubstatus: Working with our upstream providers to mitigate a rather large DDoS at the moment.
Why would someone go to all the trouble of making a botnet, then DDoSing GitHub ffs.
Why not? They likely already have a botnet, they didn't make it to DDoS GitHub specifically. Maybe they were annoyed with someone who was using GitHub, or they wanted to prove a point, who knows. All in all, the reason is because they can.

#40"12:44 UTC We've put mitigation in place that should deflect the attack, and services are recovering. We're continuing to monitor closely." - https://status.github.com/
And it seems to be working for me again not.
