Earlier quoted context omitted.

Weird, works for me - from Italy (not sure if there isn't just some caching going somewhere down the line and I can see it because of that) edit: nevermind, it's almost certain i've got it cached

Definitely a DNS cache on your computer (Or even in Chrome)

It could also be geographic. Their update did say "some customers". I'm in New York and I'm also seeing the outage.

Damn, I've spent the past 30 minutes trying to update my DNS and playing with my router config! :) No GitHub, well, it's gonna be a fun Friday...

putting something like 192.30.253.113 github.com into your /etc/hosts (or other appropriate location for your OS) should get you going again.

Careful...some people may be trying to get out of work today.

Is it really an internet wide outage? Only 2 of the points in the US are affected on https://www.whatsmydns.net/ for the domains we've got on Dyn - same for Twitter etc

If it's under a denial-of-service it's possible that it may respond correctly part of the time.

I'm updating a list of confirmed outages as I see them here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12759520 So far twitter, etsy, soundcloud, spotify, github, pagerduty...crazy that this can even happen

They all work fine for me.

Caching is a magical thing :)

Isn't it the whole idea of git to make user independent from place like github? After all if you have the repository on your local machine you can continue working as if nothing happened, right?

Relevant (or at least a-propos) post by Bruce Schneier, from a month ago: "Someone Is Learning How to Take Down the Internet" https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/09/someone_is_le... Edit: And to be clear: I don't mean to imply there's any connection :)

Really? It's unclear there's any connection between that vague article and Dyn's problems today.
