Internet Gone Weird

[Wet Blanket]

Thought it was my computer fucking up, but apparently a load of the newspaper websites have mysteriously gone down. I can't get Spotify to work either, and Twitter & Amazon are looking a bit weird

'nakedvix'?

[Wet Blanket]

Nothing NSFW I promise. It's the handle for the "Senior Commissioning Editor @IndyVoices". She was the top tweet when I searched for 'Guardian down'.

These also down:

PC Gamer
Tom's Hardware

Noticed this earlier when I tried to access darkpatterns.org.

EDIT: Even my avatar won't load. The horror!

Tried the Brewdog site a few minutes ago to book a table, it's down too

[sevendaughters]

reddit and pitchfork down. one of the major cdns is borked basically.

[Gurke and Hare]

Reddit too.

Does Amazon being fucked up suggest it might be an issue at AWS?

I've not been so excited since the jQuery outage of 2018.

The internet feels permanent and I actually rely on it to make money. It's a bit bizarre to be reminded that it's transient and that it could essentially go offline for a long period of time - and perhaps will do in our lifetimes.

Blimey gov.uk too.


Russia.

If it's to do with this it'll take a while and cost Amazon a huge amount of money.

To do with Fastly apprently. Whatever that is.

AWS borked apparently. Ruh-roh.

[Sebastian Cobb]

And yet the white elephant I'm supposed to be building in aws is currently working fine. Not fair really.

Perhaps Michael Jackson has come back to life. I remember that Google stopped working when he died.

[Gurke and Hare]

Oh now, it's taken down the London Wildlife Trust website now!

[Thomas]

Definitely Jacko.

Bezos going into space next month - coincidence?

[Butchers Blind]

Has anyone checked the porn?

What are the chances that he won't be coming back, in one piece? More mist than man?

Musk?

[BlodwynPig]

Musk?

Mist

[Buelligan]

Musk?

Breathing your own in one of those space ship jobbies they have nowadays.

[Gurke and Hare]

The internet has now been successfully rebooted and that particular period of existential dread is now over. Please return to your places of commerce.

[BlodwynPig]

If the entire internet went dark for 24 hours, how many lives would be lost?

[Better Midlands]

Has anyone checked the porn?

Checking as I write this.

Did Amazon lose a million quid a second?

That's coming out of your wages, if you work in the warehouse.
