This appears to be resolved now.
Re:Modal Major Outage on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @09:57AM (#48384188)
This is the third major outage in a month.

5.7.2026 - SEV 1, AWS us1-az4 overheats 5.19.2026 - No published incident report 6.3.2026 - Ongoing, internal auth system down

Outage on Modal because of this. Not good.
Re:Ask HN: Is .space TLD Down? on Wednesday September 24, 2025 @09:46AM (#45360313)
Yup, appears to be an turn off turn on fix. Very frustrating though for such a critical piece of infrastructure
Brilliant. Would love to know more about how Myers Briggs preferences are integrated.

The auto-planning is super cool.

Minor bug: typing in the trip creation airport is laggy or overwrites sometimes. Might need a debounce.

Yep, timeouts on my end.

A status page that works! Incredible.
Interesting. I grew up most of my life overseas learning various different languages. Anecdotal, but most of the best coders I know are talented writers and often are multi-lingual.

Self-hosting almost certainly.
Re:GitHub Git Operations Are Down on Monday January 13, 2025 @07:16PM (#42691539)
Update: looks like the problem has been identified.

"We've identified a cause of degraded git operations, which may affect other GitHub services that rely upon git. We're working to remediate."

Re:GitHub Git Operations Are Down on Monday January 13, 2025 @06:54PM (#42691258)
Yeah, this is not good. I've experienced other outages on their other products (e.g. GitHub Actions), but not even being able to do a basic git pull is an entirely different level.
Re:GitHub Git Operations Are Down on Monday January 13, 2025 @06:47PM (#42691185)
GitHub git operations are down. Any git operation returns a 500 error response.
Re:Surgeon General Calls for Cancer Warnings on Alcohol on Friday January 03, 2025 @03:02PM (#42588971)
The science keeps getting stronger and stronger on this.

Excited for the day when I do not have to justify to my friends & family why I do not want a drink.

Many point to the rise in depression and social isolation as a counterweight to the discussion on alcohol's negative effects, but my take is that once the social stigma of refusing a drink is severely lessened and social spaces adapt, that argument will also dissolve.

Re:The Four Circles of Belonging on Thursday September 26, 2024 @12:06AM (#41654447)
It's the second part of a two part essay on loneliness. [1]

I've always wondered why even when certain circles of my life feel so full (e.g. relationship), I can still feel lonely. This essay gives me a mental model for why.

It's an investment, remember that - and one that will pay dividends. Best of luck!

Hugs to the Ops team over at HuggingFace. Hope this gets resolved soon.

Love it, great work!
Re: on Friday April 19, 2024 @06:02PM (#40092409)
Update: builds have finally been going through.
Re: on Friday April 19, 2024 @05:53PM (#40092331)
Sentry has acknowledged that they are having issues, it appears to be more than just their Dashboard that is having issues. [1]

Re: on Wednesday March 06, 2024 @04:25PM (#39621703)
Same here! Would be very curious to know if today and yesterday's outages are related in any way, or if this is a coincidence.
Re:GitHub Having Issues Today on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @08:13AM (#38925779)
Getting intermittent 500s browsing repositories right now.

Hugs to the GitHub ops team.

I think this is the correct response. Have federal agencies remove the content itself, instead of worrying about identifiable dead links.
