Just got this message: "No server is currently available to service your request. Sorry about that. Please try refreshing and contact us if the problem persists."

Edit: at the time of posting there was not an incident on githubstatus.com. Now there is. https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/zkxwbgr0cnmx

Is github down? Does the day end in y?

Hammerhead12321•32m ago

No, es lunes.

Same here. Just as I was going to push out a release

It's all green which means it's working. Ignore the unicorn error on every page.

edit: After 5-10 minutes they got around to opening an incident and (apparently manually?) marking the API as having 'degraded performance'.

I find it quite amusing what they seem to consider "degraded performance" to mean -- I guess if you really squint, your service not working at all is actually just very large latency spikes (until the service recovers) and thus can be labelled as "services experiencing degraded performance for a small portion of our customers".

Seems to affect web as well. Currently working on a PR and now it says "Merge status cannot be loaded"

20%, do we just make numbers up?

ozarkerD•22m ago

Depends if this is coming from engineering or management

It seems vastly higher on every region and VPN I've tested, so I think this is a case of the "technicalies".

It is technically 20%, because a bunch of the requests that happen on page load do succeed. Just not the few crucial ones that are required for the page to load correctly - those return a 500 the vast supermajority of the time.

I can't get a single PR or issue to work. Maybe it's "20% globally, 100% anywhere people are awake".

Not sure if related, but claude seems to be down for me too.

Been doing this wrong for years, thanks

We're moving to self hosted Gitea. It's never been easier to do devops with the help of LLMs. I cannot believe how flaky GitHub is.
