> 100% uptime for the last 9.5 years

While correct, that conveniently omits the downtime in 2010 and 2013. Why be shady?

Edit: three nines is considerably different than infinite nines. Around 2018 there was an inflation bug which was kept quiet until it was patched. It's human to have an occasional bug. Setting the bar too high may be a dis-service if/when there is an exploit.

What? How is that shady?

It had 99.98% uptime since launched and 100% since 2013. That’s one of the most reliable software projects ever created in history.

It's shady because you're cherry picking the dates. Why not say 99.98% uptime since launch from the start?
