YouTube is down too. Only thing working is Twitter.
YouTube works fine for me in Charlottesville, Virginia, U.S.A.

Re: Meta outage
#332Funny. This page won't work too and is clearly down. So there is possiblity of pretty big amateurism from facebook or failure at dns servers.

#333Nothing of value was lost.
Entire businesses and livelihoods would crumble without Meta’s platforms.
Re: Meta outage
#334Tip for Meta engineers: when your service is failing, don't just log people out and prevent logins. Display a cute image that shows that the service is drastically failing (like a whale or something), and then people will know to stop trying to repeatedly log in. The public might even come up with a catchy name for the whale.

#335Cloudflare also having issues as of 1 hour ago:
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com
I wonder if it's connected to this. Seems like most large players are having issues now.
Re: Meta outage
#336I've never seen an outage this bad and I've been on Facebook since the oughts.
The 2021 outage was worse, it completely killed the network access to FB data centers for hours, and even led to issues with FB employees accessing offices (since the badge readers were also offline). It was so bad it got it's own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Facebook_outage
I don't remember that one - must have been on a hiking trip.
This one might turn out to be worse yet! Hopefully not.

#337Cloudflare reporting that they were implementing a fix for something SSO-related at 16:02.

#338Earlier quoted context omitted.
Naively, divide ad revenue by time to get a dollars-per-time. But thats naive because ad serving isn’t totally sold out so they can make up for it by increasing the density of ads in the next time window. If the outage is short, then the impact is small. But some markets are totally sold out and there’s no making up for lost impressions.
They also do not refund spend during this time typically so wouldn't be a 1:1
They don't? I've worked in ad tech at some smaller places and we absolutely refunded spend during outages.

#339Might be related to this event? > The cut lines include Asia-Africa-Europe 1, the Europe India Gateway, Seacom and TGN-Gulf, Hong Kong-based HGC Global Communications said. It described the cuts as affecting 25% of the traffic flowing through the Red Sea. https://apnews.com/article/red-sea-undersea-cables-yemen-hou... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68478828.amp
time to move away from undersea cables to satellites.
LEO satellites would be too inconsistent, and further orbits have way too much latency.
Re: Meta outage
#340This is also happening to me. When I try to reset my password using their password recovery I get "An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again." For some reason my phone number is not working as a way to get a recovery code, same error. I can't get the recovery code sent from the app or from my browser on my laptop, but when I use my chrome browser on my pixel it sends me a recovery code, which results in "An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again."
