I was going insane doubting my SSH knowledge, stopped short of creating new keys thankfully!



well on my side I'm the proud owner of a new ed25519 key.. The status page didn't update quick enough


as am I!


I for a second thought was I getting fired


As someone who found out that way twice in the last two years, I also thought I had been let go. Anxiety is a hell of a drug.


Sorry for you, it should be illegal for companies to fire with no notice!


This is the case in many places, but companies would often rather pay you to not work for the notice period rather than have access to digital or physical company property after having been given notice.


I thought my account was hacked and ssh keys removed. Panicked a little bit and then double checked that my keys were still there.

Then went to github status and calmed down.


I briefly entertained the notion that I was fired and my ssh keys revoked. But I still had access to slack and email etc, so I banished that thought.


Was trying to install homebrew on a device and kept wtfing because the clone step kept failing… thought I was crazy


I had just upgraded to Windows 11 last week, and for some godforsaken reason earlier today, I could SSH via WSL but not from the host OS even though they were both using keys served from the Windows OpenSSH agent! I'm just going to blame this service outage and hope for the best tomorrow.


Same - but created new keys :) ... which also didn't work, and then I went to check... oh well.
