According to GH Status ( https://www.githubstatus.com/ ), everything is fine. Gotta love functional status pages. edit: Nevermind, they just reported "degraded performance" for GitHub Actions, Issues, and Pull Requests.

i wonder how they even work? Like, do they just display a green css button instead of _actually_ doing a healthcheck?

Probably requires manual updates. It seems like more and more places have moved to this paradigm now that status pages are tied to SLAs which are tied to money. One might call it the politicization of status pages.

That's a funny way of saying "every page is returning 500"

github.com is having issues across the site, the API including git operations (and CLI) still work. Status page is manually updated, and we're working to get it updated. EDIT: it's updated now. EDIT EDIT: github.com is back up and running, apologies for the disruption :( Source: GitHub employee

Why manually update vs automatically?

AWS do the same thing. Pretty sure someone updates it manually.
