git remote add backup

git push backup

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of continuous integration builds around the world breaking

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of all bower-dependent builds on earth failing in synchrony

Regardless, most dependencies are on GitHub which breaks bower install for most people. It's crazy how much infrastructure relies on this single point of failure.

Aren't npm installs actually hosted on npm? This shouldn't affect npm installs.

That's right. Except I of course got unlucky.

    npm i semantic-ui

What would that look like? Can you describe it? It's not very useful to say stuff without providing some sort of useful idea. You can't just say "someone should write some sort of stupid content tracker, and give it some random three-letter combination that is pronounceable," or whatever.
