NINETY DAYS
-
@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%.

@aeri @0xabad1dea Creative decimal placement can make a big difference too. Move it one place to the left and there’s no need to bring an “8” into play. Sure, we need to redefine the “high” in “high availability” but I’m up for it if everyone else is. #HighAvailability

@eri @0xabad1dea oh this includes that I thought my geckos got into it and I shut it down, maybe they also have geckos at the data center
