I think it's pretty fair to say we've all been pretty down since GitHub's acquisition by Microsoft.

I got a sheet of Microsoft. See you guys at the dead show.

That's pretty much their conclusion > [..] GitHub has been down more since the acquisition by Microsoft. But that could be all a part of coordinated effort to be more transparent about their service status, an effort that should be applauded.
That's not a conclusion, it's a theory.
Or hypothesis.

Sorry... we probably should have put a CDN in front of our humble Linode box earlier. Here's a cache link: https://web.archive.org/web/20200629103627/https://nimbleind... Edit: Cloudflare seems to be working now. Wow, that was really easy to setup.
How many req/s before you fell over?
Re: Has GitHub been down more since its acquisition by Microsoft?
#74Independent of whether it's been down more frequently since the acquisition, I find Github's status page reporting to be lacking. It's also quite generous with definitions of outages and downtime.
For example, on June 22nd they had an issue whereby half of their nameservers were responding with an empty answer for queries for github.com. A very nice explanation is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23605409. So for roughly half of users (including myself) this would have manifested itself as a complete outage. It also lasted for a good couple of hours. Yet on their status page it's listed as a 46 minute degradation only.
So relying on their status page reporting to draw conclusions about availability (as Statusgator seems to) will mean that an overly optimistic picture of availability is presented.

Its hard for me to trust your products if you didn't even have a Cloudflare in front. EDIT: I don't imply the product is bad, sorry
I would trust it less.
The point is attention to details.
Their blog went down in a matter of minutes.
Can you be sure their product will not?

:-) Cloudflare is amazing, yes. Everyone should use it by default, I say.
As an individual or small business I agree with you. Their free tier is amazing? And they seem to be awesome people with only the best intentions.
I hope for more diversity, for many reasons. One of which is that they are a know man-in-the-middle, that can see the plan text of what appears to be secure communication to the user. It operates in the US, it can be compelled to, and to do it silently, into using their position to spy on people.
That said we use them at work and I use them personally. I'm not doing anything "risky" at all. But there are many cases in history where suddenly the government changes and now you are. And apparently black people are always doing something "risky" in the US.

Man, I really want to say we don't because of the implications of too centralised an internet, but there's no way it isn't a transitive dependency.

#78maybe this down caused by cloud migration from AWS to Azure?

#80Taking the numbers at their face value this is a good exercise in some text book statistical test of hypothesis.
Incidents: Before 89. After 126. What is the chance of this happening if the 'rate' of occurrence has not changed ?
Assuming an unknown but constant Poisson rate, we get the probability of observing what has been observed to be 0.00225.
A fortuitous thing about this test is that one does not need to know what that unknown constant rate is.
