In a situation like this, what are the best "status" sites to be watching?

HN is not the worst place, honestly.

Agreed. I went to Reddit r/networking and the mods were closing helpful threads in real-time :(

HN was down for me, unfortunately. (Connecting from Japan, so most CDN-based website load fine since it isn't route via Europe)

https://downdetector.com/ client perspective is best perspective ;) Problem in this outage is that site X works ok but transit provider for clients in US works badly and generates "false positives"

For a situation like this, the various tools hosted by RIPE are likely your best bet. You won't get a pretty green/red picture, but you'll get a more than enough data to work with.

stat.ripe.net

Nanog is also pretty helpful for this specific type of issue

Here's a direct link to this month's messages:

https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2020-August/thread...

You mean nanog.org? I don't see a stats page linked in their menu.

It’s a mailing list for network operations/engineering folks. The emails are the status updates. You’ll have to look to each network’s own site if you want connectivity, peering, and IXP red/green/ up/down status.

Ham radio might be the answer to this one day!

Except for the fact that internetweathermap.com is super green, and the internet is not currently super green.

Currently working on a project[1] to monitor all the 3rd party stack you use for your services. Hit me up if you want, access I'll give free access for a year+ to some folks to get feedbacks.

Your front page has a typo: "titme".

Since hacker news was down yesterday I couldn't reply here, so I tried to send you an email, but that failed to deliver, as there are no MX records for monitory.io...
