Why do they have an angry unicorn on their outage page?

They use unicorn[1] as a HTTP server [1] http://unicorn.bogomips.org/

Huh, TIL. I always assumed that they meant that the errors themselves are unicorns because they rarely happen and even when they do, you usually don't see them.

This is new. Looks like github is still "working" when it's down.

Reminds of the talk where a Github guy says, basically, we just push, push, push, and if something breaks we hear about it on twitter.

Status page is not responding either: https://status.github.com/

Luckily that came back up 5 or 10 minutes after the outage began. And they updated it with a down notice.

A side project of mine called StatusGator [1] monitors status pages and alerts you when something is posted on them. I built it to handle the use case that you're trying to diagnose an issue only to remember to check the status pages of your dependencies and notice that they are already working on it.

It's pretty useful for those services that keep their pages up to date. But not very useful in cases like this when it's not updated.

I'm kind of tired of paying for a service that has so many outages.

Go to bitbucket, or self-host, or find some other shiny new competitor. The market speaks with its feet.
