Lowkey status reports are the norm now :) "some users may experience degraded service" => site completely down for all locations

I fully expect that if I find a "major outage" on Slack's status page that it could only mean the outbreak of nuclear war.

"Some users may experience brief service disruption."

This seems to be impacting a number of huge sites, including the UK government website[0].

CSS/Javascript at https://github.com/ appears to be down as well making GitHub quite unusable.

> This incident affects: North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA)). How come we are affected by this in the Netherlands?

They've updated it to >North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA), Ashburn (IAD)), Europe (Amsterdam (AMS)), and Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong (HKG), Tokyo (TYO), Singapore (QPG)).

MAD affected, not on the list. I assume it is all locations.

Their status page keeps claiming that my region, Chicago (ORD), is either Degraded Performance, or Operational. But clearly it's down. Is fuzzing metrics like this how they hit their SLA targets?

Centralising everything™ and the whole internet goes down because of that.

and yet you're able to leave this comment.

Because HN and those who use less or those who use backup services are smart and those who are caught now have to panic and wait.

Probably going to short the hell out of $FSLY.

Amusingly, the Stackoverflow 503 page has a typo: Error 503 Service Unavailable Service Unavailable Guru *Mediation*: Details: cache-lon4236-LON 1623146049 854282175 Varnish cache server

The internet still works, only the websites are returning the wrong response

yeah, the internet is working perfectly. if you want to view 503 errors.
