The scale is different: "thousands of travellers" vs "hundreds of thousands"
One line was blocked because of "two optic fibers" in Germany "for around three hours".
Now in France three main lines are blocked: West, North, East (+ attempt on South), the disruption will probably last for days, it's a lot more than two optic fibers.
I would really like to say that Microsoft is currently infiltrating the OSS world and pursuing their strategy, which they have successfully implemented dozens of times. Does anyone remember EEE[0]? If this is the case here, it would be the greatest successful coup in the history of the Internet.
Wrote the same in another comment.. it's kinda brilliant but sad to watch at the same time. Microsoft's Github guys are geniuses if this is a part of a long-running EEE strategy. And people fall for it, because they have no principles and values, on which they decide what's good or damaging for Open Source.
Get developers locked in to a centralized ecosystem like GitHub, spread the marketing far and wide you use tools based on centralized platforms, encourage developers to utilize frameworks and programming languages that have poor support for open source platforms, etc.
On the Frontpage, "Start your Subscription" inside the Description for the Free Version there is the Link [0] which leads to a broken "403 forbidden" page.
It's not as bad as it seems: SSL v3 is supported, but no cipher is supported for SSL v3... It should get a B instead of a C ;-)
(shameless plug: I used https://sslping.com and tried to understand why it didn't catch the SSLv3 problem: no cipher, so SSLv3 can't really be used. SSLPing doesn't test DH params length yet though)
