Distrowatch down?

It works for me.
Funny thing to see a Linux website running on FreeBSD 
Code:
curl -I https://distrowatch.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Yep, I just hit it and everything seems normal.
I'm pretty late to the game, but it's *currently* reachable from my house.
The same site in your screenshot shows an outage from their servers in the history and a similar site is also reporting an outage.

Damn good to see we are not the only ones with outages !
Every site has outages unless you spend MILLIONS of dollars. Once in a blue moon, there will even be an outage at Google. The goal for vital infrastructure is in the 'five nines' area - 99.999% uptime. They're people who spend a lot of money and have things like an SLA with very strong repercussions if that uptime is not met.
Like, a whole lot of money...
Heck, even Cloudflare has had outages - and so much of the web relies on them which meant a bunch of their sites went down. And, well, they're pretty much the experts on the subject.
Some outages will only impact a service - like the site will show up and appear working, but parts of it won't - maybe due to a database dropping connections or the like. Right now, Reverb is doing that. Now that Etsy owns them, they've had more outages - but that could be because of their growing popularity. The site appears to work, until you actually search for a product. (Reverb is a marketplace for musical instruments - mainly guitars and associated gear.)
