New Boston Dynamics dancing robot video launched today is probably to blame. :) (and if you haven't seen it now you have something to look forward to when Youtube comes back)

I sure hope they live stream it.

On Twitch of course

You're joking, but I like the idea of watching a live postmortem with Twitch chat.

I have never seen Youtube not work. Ever. This is a special moment. Glad you are all here to share it with me :)

I am proud to say that in 2008 my country knocked this puny website off the interwebs in a bid to censor it within the country. They accidentally hijacked the global IP addresses[0] I am also proud to say that my country left the domain for their original Internet Exchange Point[1] unregistered. Guess who scooped it up? PS. My country is Pakistan. [0]: https://www.cnet.com/news/how-pakistan-knocked-youtube-offli... […

I was going to link to the video of a Dyn employee (Todd whatshisname) doing a parody of American Pie about this -- "The Day The Youtube Died" -- but the only link I have to the video is on Youtube. :/

Here are the lyrics [0] instead, you'll just have to sing it to yourself.

Still not up here in Metro Boston. I eagerly await the (I assume) super interesting explanation of what went wrong tomorrow.

Did Google just decided to sunset YouTube?

They probably have some similar yet slightly worse product that they've decided to introduce instead. Such is the life of a google app.

The Google One experience? Make sense

It's still Python+MySQL for what I can tell. But also has parts in Go (see i.e. their work on vitess to scale MySQL access https://vitess.io/ )

They now run their python code using a transpiler into Go with a Go runtime and Go libraries: https://github.com/google/grumpy

Reminds me about Facebook, who transpiled PHP to C++. Before creating their HHVM interpreter and their hack language.

I'm imagining millions of kids in restaurants crying out because their "iPads aren't working"

My son is having "a moment"

Mine too. He’s so confused and mournful.

Are we going to start a betting pool as to why? I put $20 on DDoS, but I'm hedging $5 that someone spilled their drink on something important and quickly got out of there before anyone noticed.

I bet it’s a core network issue since it went down globally at the same time.. they deploy new binaries slowly so that shouldn’t cause it. Maybe some config was changed without testing?

Is it down globally? I've has some EU people on Mastodon say it's still up for them.
