I noticed this and my first thought was that my phone needed to reboot. Come on, Youtube doesn't go down... Then I went to a different site and realized it was an outage...

#452Ha! My time to shine.. I’ve got somewhere around 80TB of YouTube content on my NAS including thousands of videos that aren’t available anymore on YouTube or anywhere else online. The joy of hoarding data..
I hope you've got plans for what happens to that content when you're not around any more. With how ephemeral a lot of content is on YouTube there's sure to be valuable videos on people's drives.

Are you on prepaid? Virtually all Chilean prepaid carriers are deathly slow, especially outside of Santiago. I had barely any service in Algarrobo on Claro, but postpaid plans ran just fine, especially Claro, even in crazy places like Farellones :) For what it's worth, I hated every second of my life in vina and that stupid town to the north of it and also Valparaiso. God, bring me back to La Parva or Embalse El Yeso…
I’m currently roaming on a post paid US plan. When I arrived in Chile I had 3G on Claro. Then it switched me to LTE on Movistar. 3G on Claro was more reliable. Interesting to know about pre vs post paid. Will keep it in mind for longer trips when I normally buy a local SIM. We just spent the last week in Torres del Paine backpacking around ... what an amazing place! Going to spend a couple days in viña and then heade…
Enjoy, my friend! If you have a car, the mountains to the East of Santiago are absolutely awesome. Everything is safe and cool there, nothing worse than Californian tier driving. There's even free wifi at La Parva, and a ski lift to I think 12,000 feet in elevation if you dont want to walk haha.
Enjoy the city! I just had really bad experiences there. It's probably not the norm but I just hate petty thieves and the grime when I'm paying foreigner prices. I was based in Las Condes for 3 months and really loved it.
I think I still have my little $7 claro sim card lying around here somewhere :)))

#454From Ops to Ops, much respect YouTube/Goog and a tremendous pat on the back to this even being such a big deal. I'll happily, but very-boredly, wait until you're done. :)
Kudos to the Ops team indeed, can't wait to read the PM report.

#456Watch "Let's de-Google-ify the Internet" on PeerTube https://peer.mathdacloud.ovh/videos/watch/c193a2f6-8b24-48c3... https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances
When YouTube comes back up again, I can recommend Tom Scott with "Single Point of Failure: The (Fictional) Day Google Forgot To Check Passwords" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4GB_NDU43Q
Yes! This video was what caused me to reconsider my use of Google services seriously.

I'm not saying it's aliens, but...
It's the sunspot thing. They took down the Hubble, that other telescope, that random lab, and now the frog people Alex Jones warned us about are coming to inject you with the gay and ship you on a raft made out of Michael Moore to Cuba.

All to conceal the real truth about what happened on 9/11 and how it connects to the plot to obfuscate what really happened at Pearl Harbor and how the Australian mafia actually had JFK assassinated to cover up the truth about Marilyn Monroe, Tupac, and Charles Proteus Steinmetz. A clever scheme, no doubt orchestrated by the evil consortium of George Westinghouse, Thomas Edison and Guglielmo Marconi. Hopefully Elon Musk, Robert Downey Jr. and Nikola Tesla will be able to bring the truth to light!

Thats prob base64 and your IP might be in the decoded string.
Messing around with it for a minute it seems it's a modified base64 (+ and / are replaced by - and _) with a space every 56 characters. I couldn't get any permutation where a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and -_/_- were consistent so it's either encrypted or one of 1,268,869,321,858,841,641,034,33,389,335,161,480,802,865,516,174,545,192,198,801,894,375,214,704,230,400,000,000,000,000 permutations of the encoding alphabet (or I messed…
The modified base64 is probably just URL encoding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#URL_applications

#460Are 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.
