Looks like the problem is with Accounts. Most Google apps work when not logged in, i.e. can view YouTube videos.

Re: Google outage – resolved
#372It's super interesting that all Google services that I've tried are down _except_ for Google Search. What would isolate Search from the rest of Google's products such that it wouldn't be affected by a mass outage like this?
Probably something related to users authentication then

#373Google employees can't login to update their status board on https://www.google.com/appsstatus ?
Re: Google outage – resolved
#374Just use alternatives:
* DuckDuckGo instead of Google Search
* Bitchute / LBRY / Odyssee instead of YouTube
*Nextcloud instead of Google Drive

#375Google has now updated the status page, every single service has an outrage:

#376How coud all of googles websites be down this long tho. You would at least think google being the company they are would have some sort of like backup serevers or backup plan type stuff. Idk

#377Just checked https://www.google.com/appsstatus all green, which does not reflect reality for me (e.g. Gmail is down) edit: shows how incredibly difficult introspection is
What's the point of having a status page when it can't reliably tell you the factual status?
It's red already.

#378So, anybody still feel like arguing that 'the cloud' is a viable back-up? Or is that a sore point right now? Just for a moment imagine: what if it never comes back again? Of course it will, - at least, it better - but what if it doesn't? And if it does, are you going to take countermeasures in case it happens again or is it just going to be 'back to normal' again?

Much less chance of that happening than my local backups getting borked...

What if your datacenter explode? Will you lose nothing? Is everything backed up/replicated to the second/third one? Because I think that's a bigger possibility than Google not coming back.
