Consider implementing mitigations for some of the impacts that server outages have on users
When the Tails main server goes down, users are impacted in several ways:
- Tor Browser fails to load the Tails website and shows an error.
- Download URLs pointing to
download.tails.net
stop working. - Users get preoccupied if it takes long for us to say something.
- ... others?
It was suggested to us via XMPP that we could have a placeholder website to mitigate some of these issues (thanks, firepenguin!), but I think we can also think about this in a more general way and spin some ideas off from this issue.
