#13Looks like another DoS attack: "0:18 UTC GitHub.com is recovering at this time from a DoS attack. We're continuing to monitor things and will provide further updates as the situation develops." Is there really no way to protect from these attacks!?
There is a way. Have more bandwidth then your attacker. DDoS protection services exist that forward the good traffic on to you, and they do this by having excessively large amounts of bandwidth. They also cost obscene amounts of money.
Surely GitHub must have the money to beef up their pipes, no? Or perhaps they're noticing that these outages aren't really hurting their bottom line, and thus it's not worth the investment...

I think that some people use GitLab to host their own Github clones. It's debatable whether that's a viable alternative.
