Red Squares – GitHub outages as contributions

cyanydeez

double entendre: Is it load based or github-employee based that weekends are sparser. or just a multifactor of both.

The memes are really painful now. I feel for the team that's is trying to survive underwater.

Would be interesting to see if this correlated with their release cycles.

figmert

Far fewer outages during the weekends. Perfect, wasn't gonna do any work then anyway.

Weekends are the untapped frontier. Still room to scale.

I wonder how well this corolates with azure incidents. Especially for the US regions.

"Good job, Microsoft, amazing uptime."

Clearly their team needs more LLM usage.

This design is perfect irony. I love it.

Please tell me this makes sense This website has no overused ai-generated animations and... I quite enjoy it. The original website[1] has a fade-in animation, big round cards, shadows, all the jazz you can think of, it's there. This site is very readable, very honest and sober. I don't need to sift through buzzwords to figure out tiny details. Thank you, OP! 1: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

can you correlate this to data on # of commits, actions, etc?

I don't really understand why this is happening at this scale, it's not like they just became broke and can't afford a proper server... can someone explain?

Funny to see this closely match contribution graphs with effectively no downtime on weekends.

A graph I have to question is even accurate. > Across 170 days with at least one incident · worst day Thu, Nov 20, 2025 (1.1 days) 1.1 days total how is that possible? Scrolling over that day doesn't indicate the math behind the scenes - 1.3 hours single bullet point. Also Nov 19 has a bullet point 1.3 day outage but total is 8.1 hours

Another reminder that a self hosted git repository would have more uptime than GitHub and centralizing everything to GitHub was a very bad idea. [0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22867803

All these companies brag about being hyperscalers and cannot scale github. Similarly, i see google releasing advancement after advancement in LLM yet i see antigravity sub where people are crying all time.

Setup my self-hosted Forgejo last night. Very pleased so far.

This is one of the most creative idea I've seen this year. Tasteful and clever. Bravo!

For 30th of April, 2026 it shows it was down 1.0 days of 2.6 days (minor incident) :)

It is funny how weekends are almost always up!
