Do we really need to be notified every time GitHub or Twitter go down temporarily? It's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Chances are good that the attackers are DDOS'ing Github using software consisting of some open source components... hosted for free on Github.

Why would someone DDoS GitHub? Is there some movement against GitHub? Or is it just for fun?

This is your periodic reminder that deploying directly from Github is a bad plan.

Isn&#x27;t Github having it&#x27;s annual employee family picnic this week in SF?<p>This is literally going to ruin someones picnic.

Coincidentally, I just finished setting up Gitlab and Gitlab CI on a private server. If I could set up repo mirroring between it and Github, it would add a layer of protection for getting critical work done (security by distribution?).

Even if there are attacks everyday everywhere, I wonder how&#x2F;if it can be linked with recent attacks of Apple, Ubuntu forums, and OVH networks.<p>That&#x27;s a lot of techies services attacked for such a short time.<p>EDIT: typo

If you are looking to host an internal git server, then you should watch my screencast, where I talk about how to configure a central git server and manage user access with gitolite.<p><a href="http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/11-internal-git-server-with-gitolite" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sysadmincasts.com&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;11-internal-git-server-wit...</a>

I really need to start monitoring GitHub vrs Bitbucket for uptime. I can&#x27;t think of the last time Bitbucket was down.

Anyone know what they put at the front of their stack? Nginx? Varnish? HAProxy?

There was another one of these, slightly older, that just got deleted...<p>Also the red banner looks a bit off to me, the &quot;More Status History&quot; just seems plonked in the middle of it.

Github seems to attribute every issue initially to a DDoS

Does someone now what &quot;Pages Builds Failure Rate&quot; means on the page? 4.5% Server errors is a bit much...

If there is a hell, anyone who would attack GitHub has an express ticket there.

Looks like everything is still up though. What is being DDOS&#x27;d exactly?

You must be really evil if you are attacking github!

This is akin to robbing a police convention.
