Even though the status page ( https://www.githubstatus.com/ ) shows no issues, I'm still getting the occasional 500. It seems to be happening quite irregularly. They are possibly facing a lot of load.

In my experience its often the case the status site does not reflect reality -- until someone intervenes.

Status pages are absolutely useless. I've never seen them accurately reflect an outage

Github outages are the bored engineer's equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you were in school, full of unbridled joy.

For engaged, happy engineers its the equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you are grown up and have to go dig your car out of the snow and its a normal day just with extra steps.

Been running into many unicorns for the last few minutes, had a moment where it came back but seems to be down again. Even the unicorn image won't load on the unicorn page.

Which is weird because the unicorn is an inlined image (png), encoded in base64. Seems like they broke it.

Yah, looks like their CSP blocks it for some reason

Not really. I'd rather be getting stuff done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
