- vardump 2y agoSeems like it. Page loads occasionally succeed.
- ashoeafoot 2y agoNo Doge. Similar denial of servuce.
- 33a 2y agoBlueSky is still working great.
- paulddraper 2y agoIt had a pretty massive outage on Feb 26 FWIW. And Feb 19. I don't recall seeing it on HN though.
- inzbieda 2y agoUnfortunately I got banned on BS.
- uxcolumbo 2y agoWhy?
- Vixel 2y agoGood.
- riffic 2y agopre-acquisition there were frequent Twitter outages. I remember one particular lengthy outage during my brief tenure as a moderator in the Twitter subreddit. I'll state the obvious but it's not entirely unexpected for complex systems to encounter failures. example from 2021: https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/twitter-down-outage-1234953749/ https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/twitter-down-outage-12...
- ceejayoz 2y agoYes, it's certainly not unheard of; early Twitter featured the "failwhale" pretty regularly.
- Hamuko 2y agoThere was a massive time period between the failwhale era and the acquisition. Like 15 years or a bit under?
- riffic 2y agoI'm not talking about Early Twitter though. I specifically bring up an outage in an era with competent organizational ops or SRE capacity. 2021 was well beyond the growing pains in the "failwhale" period.
- paulddraper 2y agoMusk says it's DDoS. [1] It's been in and out today. [1] https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ky6zydYw5QPEfVKV4UT7j9-970-80.jpg.webp https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ky6zydYw5QPEfVKV4UT7j9-970...
- fred_is_fred 2y agoIf Musk says it's DDOS then it's almost certainly not DDOS.
- ElijahLynn 2y agoI wouldn't have believed this a few years ago but I do now. If you sell your soul to the biggest liar on Earth, then you are complicit and probably have similar neurological patterns.
- SketchySeaBeast 2y ago"Tracing" a DDoS?
- paulddraper 2y agoI wouldn't call it tracing, but the usual mitigation is block IPs. Depending on the nature of the DDoS, you may block it at other parts of the stack.
- reverendsteveii 2y agoRussianDriveByMalware.exe has encountered an error and needs to close
- madspindel 2y agoHe will trace the DDoS to Ukraine and shut down Starlink there.
- jbverschoor 2y agoI think they a powercable of the wrong server
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoPardon?
- jbverschoor 2y agoThey cut the power cable from the wrong server (Referring to when Elon used bolt cutters in the datacenter)
- throw16180339 2y agoI expect Musk to blame Ukraine and use this as an excuse for sanctions against them.
