Earlier quoted context omitted.

delaying SLA

This is at least a multi-million dollar payout (if they admit to it). All GitHub Pages say > We're having a really bad day. > The Unicorns have taken over. We're doing our best to get them under control and get GitHub back up and running.

Seems slightly unproffesional for a massive company like Github/Microsoft.

Yeah, need more caches and backup git links (including local clones).

Also they had IPFS attempts, but not finished.

I love how the same people who try to drag me towards using Git are the only people who seem to have serious problems working on their code when a website goes down.

Git is not the same thing as github. It's designed to be decentralized, even if it isn't getting used that way atm

The timing is pretty uncanny. I just deployed a github page and had a DNS issue because I configured it wrong. I hit "check again" and github went down. Hope I don't appear in the incident report.

Wait. You use github pages for something or actually work on it?
