We are aware of issues when trying to access the site. First noticed at approx. 0300 UTC. Our servers look okay. It appears there may be issues with upstream connectivity.
Also, Linode is planning some server reboots over the next week or so. We will try to give advance notice and keep downtime to a minimum.
Update: Everything seems to have quieted down. Many many thanks to @NotSanguine: for jumping in and lending his expertise to help identify and isolate where things were borked.
Indications are that a bad BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) route was published causing a relatively small AS (Autonomous System) to have all traffic to/from a large fraction of the internet attempt to go through its routers.
