#72This seems to be impacting a number of huge sites, including the UK government website[0].

Terraform having issues and rubygems down too
Re: Fastly Outage
#73So I'm wondering where in the "hundreds of servers around the world" did they exactly go wrong. This happened with Cloudflare before too. I think we are a little too dependent on these services.
In Software Engineering we call it "coupling"

Re: Fastly Outage
#74GitHub? I had some issues, checked the service status page said no issues, but images were returning a 503. Maybe they host their service status page elsewhere including using fastly.
GitHub now showing partial outage (images on status pages are fixed)
Re: Fastly Outage
#75numpy docs, too. i think it's cloudflare related as well. at least, I keep seeing some cloudflare errors interpolated with the 503 varnish error.
Pytorch and Python docs, all down. No stackoverflow. I guess this is a forced bank holiday for developers around the world.

#80Ten Percent Happier is down, and now my day is ruined.
When viewing a meditation session you can see a download button in the upper right (at least on iOS).
I always have a small stash of my favorites saved locally in case of internet outage or I’m caught in a situation where I don’t have internet but need a few minutes.
On top of that I’ve been really trying to rely less on an app. So I throw a lightly guided or unguided session in every couple days at least where I focus on going solo so I don’t need an app and just need a timer.
