NINETY DAYS
-
@0xabad1dea There are five nines on the screenshot, I don't see any problem.
@dos @0xabad1dea might have been 6 if the waited two days!

@0xabad1dea does 89% uptime count as one nine ?
@gkrnours @0xabad1dea Ooh ooh, I can answer this!
Given that 100% is hard to reach and 0% is not, we can use a simpler version of the logit function and take log₁₀(1÷(1−.89)) = ~0.96 which means it's still a tad below 1 "nine".
(The full logit function is log₁₀(x÷(1−x)) and is useful when both 0% and 100% are hard/impossible to reach.)

@0xabad1dea Where did this come from? status.github.com paints a very different picture, though also not particularly great honestly…
@slembcke @0xabad1dea This is from the "missing GH status page": https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

@0xabad1dea There's a 996 joke in here somewhere, I swear.
Edit: 996: one 9 of uptime, 9-0 incidents, and the third nine in "90 days" is upside down lol. We can workshop it.

@0xabad1dea oh, no! Just a few more days, and it would also have been the 90th day of the year (the 31st, if I counted correctly)

Somebody just has to type "continue" into the right co-pilot chat at Github.

We see GitHub is still working on that second nine of uptime: https://transfem.social/notes/ak8mfds9u2eg00ac -

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I don't know, but hot take... 1 is not 5... Though what would I know... I'm not good at math. Apparently. In other news... 3 is not 4... These are interesting things that seem to be hard for others to know, or maybe I'm just the stupid person who doesn't understand math.

@0xabad1dea That's worse uptime than most of the services I run for myself.

@slembcke to confirm what someone else said while I was asleep, it’s an independent third party tracker called the “missing” github status page. https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/
they track ten subsystems separately, which are each in the 96% to 99.9% range, then overlay all those incidents on the same timeline to arrive at 90% overall.
I do not have any particular stance on whether github’s own tracker or this third party one is more fair and accurate, beyond “90-90-90 is hilarious” and observing only one of them has a contractual stake in possibly sometimes downplaying issues a little bit.

@0xabad1dea It's my perpetual joke about Monkeybrains and their eight eights of uptime but the load-bearing structure of the interweb.

@0xabad1dea the green bits are 100%
It’s 99.999% but we’re not telling you the timeframe.

@0xabad1dea the yolocolo at european chaos/hacker events has used "9.9999% is also five nines" in some posters...
maybe that's the logic Github's operating by too

Or they select very carefully upon the calculation:
it's a difference if you count ALL services working and ANY disruption, even that of a single service/server as fail, or whether you count a single server failure against the total number.If you have 100 (virtual) servers you can keep one server swicthed off ALL THE TIME (0% individual availability) and still have 99% availability overall.
