@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.

@0xabad1dea Where did this come from? status.github.com paints a very different picture, though also not particularly great honestly…
@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.

@0xabad1dea you can get more 9s of uptime is the first number is an 8

@vampirdaddy @SecurityWriter @0xabad1dea I once worked at a company I liked that said "anyone promising 100% uptime is lying"
They got bought out and ruined by a company that said "100% UPTIME*" on the wall
and in tiny tiny writing "*core network uptime" way down in small print in the basement

@vampirdaddy @SecurityWriter @0xabad1dea Because, technically, they had a very large core network and they'd had a COMPLETE nationwide network outage.
Of course this bullshit did not fly anytime they had a LOCAL outage.

@eri @0xabad1dea I said this about the server under my desk on a residential connection on reddit and people got super mad that I'm comparing my shitty server serving 5 people to github serving 8437823748932789432 people except that I put zero effort into running my server and I don't earn money off of that lmao

@0xabad1dea They're so close to achieving zero nines.
How do you even manage 90% uptime over 90 days?? 9 full days of downtime??
My homelab has been subjected to frequent power outages due to the house getting a bunch of electrical work & renovations done, and I've still managed at least 97%.
