First time that GitHub has ever been down for me (London, UK):

    504 Gateway Time-out

    The server didn't respond in time.

Because majority of the audience spend large parts of their day on GitHub and it keeps going down.

Once again, GitHub is down. Last time an incident happened was 2 days ago [0].

Could not have happened on a worse day (Monday) and you can see how unreliable GitHub has been.

Better of self-hosting.

Simply because of being a dependency of many things.

I just got the same in Western EU, refreshed and got a site, and now it's gone again with intermittent hiccups of life.

Honestly it's pretty mad to see, especially without a crisp failover.

And it came back for me, at least for a refresh or two...
