And the world is a slightly better place, momentarily.

Lemmy server operators can now say they have better 24h uptime than Meta! lol

Just updated my résumé.

I am feeling a lot of personal satisfaction that I had no idea this was happening and had to read about it on Lemmy.

Pouring one out for the SREs at Meta

Someone is having a really bad day today. I wonder if your phone dies when you get a certain number of pages or push notifications

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 41 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Fun story. I had a flip phone years ago and you could have multiple recipients to a single text. And if the text was multiple pages, it would split into several texts. And you could resend already sent texts.

So one time I put in my girlfriend's phone number in all 20 recipient slots. I then filled the text to the max size, though I don't remember how many it split into. I then resent it over and over. This all took like 2 or 3 minutes.

Her phone was sending notifications over and over for the entire rest of the day. I'd guess at least 8 hours, probably more.

Fucking hell I used to love doing that! Man that brought back some memories. Would do it to my co-worker and just piss myself laughing.

Looking at the downmeter shot someone posted above, it's half the SREs in the country. Not sure what the root cause will be, but damn that's a lot of money down the tubes. I would not want to be the person who cost Meta and Google their precious thirty 9's of availability lol.

Someone is having a very bad day

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 38 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago (18 children)

Google have their own data centres (and cloud) so it may be something more in the connectivity area.

Pathetic. My single podman container has perfect uptime from when I start it manually with podman desktop to when I shut down my PC. I also allow only the highest security standard, it being not accessible outside of my network and all that. I am clearly a cyber security expert.

Ahaha it’s funny because I initially read that as serious comment X)

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.

Who gives the tiniest of shits.

[–] evident5051@lemm.ee 52 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean, a lot of people use Messenger to contact other people, so I guess they do?

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 38 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Contact other people? That’s foreign to me.

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?

Down Detector shows a spike of trouble for many, but not all services all at the same time.

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.

It’s all worth it if it means having this image grace the Fediverse.

Interesting, Google play store was unavailable for me about an hour ago.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't really tend to care, though my quest account being down is a bit less fun.
