GitHub Is Down

github.com is intermittently not resolving in DNS.

github.com's NS records say nsone.net and AWS are authoritative for it. However, all of the authoritative nsone.net servers are answering queries for github.com with no A records. The AWS DNS servers are responding with A records as normal.

Try for yourself with `dig github.com NS`, and then `dig github.com @dns1.p08.nsone.net.` (or any of the other nsone.net servers).

githubstatus.com reports all is operational.

Here we go again. Yet my argument to self-host just becomes more valid. [0][1]

Same here. 1.1.1.1 seems to resolve it correctly.

@dang I saw a number of 'github is down' posts being flagged almost immediately (including this one). Is there a guideline against posting these kinds of messages?

I support it, to be honest.

Those threads always devolve into low quality arguments and spam. With occasional marketing effort for other services.

It's hard to see how they are "interesting" in the sense of the guidelines. a post-mortem about what broke might be, but the pure fact that a service is down again? This one here at least has some analysis on what's going on.

yep, also noticed that. At first I thought I've messed something up with pihole. But looks like it's something bigger...

I made one of those posts and it got flagged almost immediately, and I honestly just wanted to know if the issue is on my end or not, GitHub's status page shows that all services are up.
