Semi related: I noticed this incident right when it began, but not because I was trying to access a website. This started happening to me: http://imgur.com/PPlaY5o

Then when I went to push to github out of fear my computer was about to soil itself, that failed too, and I noticed the outage.

Does anyone know if the above errors could be related to the outage? I'm using vim inside tmux with zsh as my shell. Maybe zsh does some kind of communication with gh while running?

I restarted my computer and it's still happening



The zsh default git plugin definitely doesn't touch github, or the network in general.

Are you using some oh-my-zsh github plugin by any chance?


plugins=(git rbenv nvm gitfast zsh-autosuggestions github)


So, yes.

https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Plugins#githu...

oh-my-zsh is, imho, way overengineered and bloated. Leads to all sorts of issues like the one you're encountering there.

I would recommend sticking to a plain zshrc file that you can read, edit and fully understand.

The one I wrote and am using day to day is available here, with documentation: https://github.com/jleclanche/dotfiles


removed the github plugin, reloaded zsh and happened again 5 min later. I believe it has to do with slack, because the issue resolved itself after closing. maybe slack got pwned and all slack users are being used as part of the botnet lol
