Gmail said my account was "temporarily" unavailable... had a moment considering if it wasn't temporary. Good reminder to remove my reliance on gmail especially.

I really should try to get my stuff moved to my new address. Not self-hosted, but a non-profit that has been around for a while... Finally paid the membership fee.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What's the point of having a status page when it can't reliably tell you the factual status?

Customer confidence. Same as how everyone reports they have 99.99% uptime.

Then their status page is not unlike like target reporting in the USSR: completely fictional.

Google is scaring the shit out of us, we were already trying to move out of Google for some past bizarre outages, and now before they went down, they outright claimed business account didn't exist anymore, our business drive and all our IMAP e-mail clients got kicked out.

210 points in 5 minutes. 500 in 10. Seems everyone see's the status page and is like "hey, time to check hn" ;-) EDIT: You can permanently refresh and see the score increase by 2-3 points each second. Wow. EDIT 2: 1800 after one hour, but a few points were probably lost due to HN downtime. Being quick to post is important, guys;-)

HN was actually down for me when I first checked. I was wondering what possible infrastructure HN and youtube could have in common before it clicked

Google Home and Chromecast also rendered useless. _Hey Google, how are you?_ leads to some very passive aggressive replies.

In my house, it leads to a hilarious echo of multiple devices responding simultaneously with an error message. Having only one device respond seems to be cloud-mediated too.
