The system, known as the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, handles classified information, up to the secret level, and was shuttered for several hours.

"This has never happened in the middle of a work day," one Pentagon official said. "Updates usually are done on weekends and after hours late at night. This was done on an emergency basis."

The shutdown applied only to computers handling the classified material, and was not imposed on other computers or on phone systems.

Didn't realise there was so many alternatives to stuff people use on a daily basis, going to bookmark a few of these and start using them and throw Google out of my life, as I already have with the main social medias.

A great guide to this forum.

Just additional piece of mind, really.

If it's a personal site with no real way for visitors to interact with it beyond reading it's content, I'd say it's not that big of a deal. But if it's a website that allows users to sign in, stores data about them, etc open source is a good idea. As /u/txt said, it's best to know so it can be fixed and that proper procedures can be done.

But if it's just your personal site, where you publish some posts and that's it... I don't think it's a big deal to not publish the code personally because it's just your site and it'll only impact you if something is done wrong.
