Good. May they forever stay down. Who cares.
I care, it would be lovely. How can we pile on them like a ‘dog pile’, to keep 'em down?
Lookup downdetector, almost all are flatlines.
Sap is also doing silly rn. Im gonna take a smoke break lol
Yeah there’s definitely some sort of major outage going on. Google Play Store is having some problems for me currently too.
Someone is having a very bad day
downdetector
Looks like it may have been AWS or something. All kinds of services were down a moment ago. Guess thats what happends when everything is on major cloud services.
Google have their own data centres (and cloud) so it may be something more in the connectivity area.
Maybe, I would expect redundancy. But ultimately I have no clue. I just remember the last time AWS went down. It seemed that a majority of the sites that I used daily were down all in one go.
Yeah, they definitely host an unhealthy amount of the internet.
Sometimes redundancy doesn’t help when it comes to network traffic routing. That system is based heavily on trust and an incorrect route being published can cause recursive loops and such that get propagated very quickly to everyone.
There was a case like this a few years back where a bad route got published by a small ISP, claiming they could handle traffic to a certain set of destinations, but then immediately trying to send that traffic back out again (because they couldn’t actually route to that destination), which bounced right back to them because of the bad route. It was propagated based on implicit trust and took down huge chunks of the Internet for a while
So could this be done maliciously? I’m just wondering about the Super Tuesday timing.
Yes, BGP Route Hijacking can be done maliciously although things like BGPSec can make it harder to pull off.
It affected the full 8 billion people in the world, not just the few hundred million on the US.
You’re talking about Border Gateway Protocol, BGP, route hijacking and it’s occasionally been a real headache over the years. Advertising routes used to be a more manual process so typos and incorrect entries, like what you’re talking about, we’re reasonably common. It was, and still can be, done maliciously too.

Yup! BGP is an absolute mess and it is kind of a disgrace that it’s still the lynchpin of the internet
Infrastructure seems likely, but probably not AWS because it affected Google and Facebook so strongly. If it were AWS you’d see Amazon getting badly affected and AWS itself, followed by everyone who relies on AWS for infrastructure.

It was the houthis targeting red sea cables, check the news
I don’t think any major news sources confirm your theory.
BBC isn’t a major news source? Remember when they say countries do not confirm, it’s politically motivated. What governments choose to share is up to them and it does not confirm what their intelligence agency actually thinks.
Google is up for me
For me too, but noticeably slower than normal.
!amateur_radio@lemmy.radio took over and they’re bouncing the signal off the moon
Bandwidth issues, changed over to carrier pigeons (though now dealing with latency issues).
I’m not getting latency issues must be a problem with your setup
That’s my experience with all these services as well
Ah, wonder if problems contributed to Google Meet hiccups today. Very small, momentary.
Yeah probably furious hahaha
Something is causing this up
On super Tuesday. Coincidence?
$100 it’s the Chinese in retaliation for TikTok, too logical to ignore.
Good! Stay down!
Tim Pool is blaming the Russians.
If they’re actually behind it:
I’d be interested in how it happened. Maybe someone can do it again
I hope they secretly ran out of money because of FTC fines, and that they have no more credit to pay to run servers.
It’s always nice to read good news.

Can confirm, navigating Facebook settings is a nightmare. Do they do it on purpose, you think? They don’t want people turning shit off, and stuff?
Part of the plan. smh.
And the world is a slightly better place, momentarily.
Huh, not for their users I’d say.
Fun fact, my mobile carrier also was/is toasted LMAO.
Nah, for the users too.
Especially for the users.
I’m gonna blame Russia.
I am feeling a lot of personal satisfaction that I had no idea this was happening and had to read about it on Lemmy.
Yes. Would have been chef’s kiss to not even read about it here.
Same
*Shrugs
Okay.
None of my work, very little communication, and none of my entertainment come from Facebook or Instagram.
You know it is big news when it shows up in the active feed of Lemmy 😅
Why it didn’t appear in the wholesome news community though.
They seem to be back up. But, what do Meta, Google, Discord, Amazon, Zoom and Verizon have in common, but not AT&T, Steam, Uber Eats, SAP, etc?
More points in Scrabble?
Nice.
Hey where you’d get that graphic from? Would be really nice to have a dashboard with all this info in one spot.
Edit: It’s downdetector. I only ever landed there with a “Is foo.com down?”, and of course it then only shows info for foo.com, not the full dash.
Yeah, sorry I didn’t make that clear. I forgot to link to it.
Att had their major outage a week or two ago.
Probably the tiny bump means they’re affected by the current outage but the previous one was much, much bigger.
Aw man. Old post. I thought it went down again and I was stoked lol
The world was a better place for about 20 minutes
Going on a couple hours, it seems. LoL.
lol
