Perhaps this is a repeat of the Fastly incident with a customer's Varnish cache configuration causing an issue in their systems (I think this is a rough summary, I don't remember the details).

So, you're both responsible and not responsible at the same time :)

Appearing in an incident report with your HN username could be pretty funny...

Fwiw, GitHub Pages is down too. The hosted Pages sites are down.

This will all clear up when it finishes checking your DNS configuration I bet.

Wait. You use github pages for something or actually work on it?

I use it for something.

I had a github page that was public, but it was made private and the DNS config was removed. Fast forward to today. I made the private repo public again and forced a deploy of the page without making a new commit. It said the DNS config was incomplete, so I tweaked it and hit "check again" and github went down.

Probably unrelated, but the timing was spooky.

Your domain isn't `null.example.com` or something, is it?

Sorry for the offtopicness - would you mind emailing [email protected] so I can check in with you about a couple things regarding https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41221186?

Bad bitbasher bad! :catbonk:

So it was you who crashed GitHub?
