What exactly did you do that makes you so confident?
Exactly after my setIamPolicy API request to Google Cloud was the exact moment everything went down.
So, 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?

Different failure mode. If the cloud goes down, many more people are affected. If your self-hosted thing goes down, only you are affected. If everybody self-hosted, would the overall downtime be lower? Even if it were, would it be worth the effort of self-hosting?
Google is also rejecting SMTP ingress traffic. (delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with aspmx.l.google.com[2a00:1450:400c:c04::1b] while sending DATA command)
That is Really Bad™. People are going to miss critical emails with no recovery.

I, and probably many others here are like a status page for friends and family too... I had my wife thinking that the internet was broken, and tried tethering to phone and things and still didn't work, then showed me and I saw the status code errors and was like "it's actually parts of Google that are down". I love (and am deeply scared by) the dependence of Google and the confusion of it with the entire internet.
It gets even worse: https://twitter.com/joemfbrown/status/1338452107419148290 >I’m sitting here in the dark in my toddler’s room because the light is controlled by @Google Home. Rethinking... a lot right now. Some people are compiling more relevant events: https://twitter.com/internetofshit

I am not google, but if i were to start looking for idiots to throw under a bus for this outage, you will on top of the list. besides google won't be exactly calling you because you made that comment here. other commenters are right that you should not expose your personal number on internet regardless of it was you or not
Google more or less want people find their weaknesses so they can patch and secure them. A person accidentally triggering a global outage is not something that would cause that person to get lawyers on them. Especially not something that only affects his or hers GCP-project.
