First GitHub, now NPM? Oh no... That is happening, guys. Rise of the machines. I hope Jira is next and Slack follows.

I wonder if this is an underlying infra issue with Azure being that Github was also having issues.

That's one way to fix supply chain vulnerabilities.

Hold the jokes until we're sure this isn't an `.unwrap()`

Well it is owned by github.

Whenever NPM is offline, the internet is a little safer.

Keep up the good work Microsoft.

Let's shoot for 100% downtime though. Thanks.

Fixed as of 22:30 UTC. Hope there's a postmortem.

Works for me, could be region related

With all the github instability, I wonder if Cloudflare or some other provider is going to look into providing a similar service.

libc is still working just fine, as is the linux kernel. Mayhaps having 2000 dependencies on 3000 packages from 4000 unvetted sources was a mistake afterall?

Oh no. At least nothing of value is affected.
