I hate the fact that the status page is not reflecting anything related to it.

#342It's also weird the page title with "Error 500 (Server Error)!!1" - Why !!1 at the end of it?
It's probably a running joke internally---anecdotally, I've came across it a few times on different Google properties over the years.

#343Just 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
Everything red now: clean sweep

HN is my goto status page when these things happen, never failed to provide up-to-date reliable information.
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.

#345I'm very interested in HN' crowd back-of-the-envelope estimations on how much this outage costs the world (when we know how long it lasted).

#346I’m seeing poor internet performance overall, even accessing HN...too many relying on Google DNS maybe? Even ISPs?
Probably just people checking non-Google sites whether it's everyone or just them. 8.8.8.8 at least seems to be working, as does Google DNS for domains hosted on domains.google.com.

#347Seems like services does indeed work in incognito.

#348Google 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.

#349So, 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?
The way I see it, backups are a strategy to reduce risk of ruin.
For me, backing up to the Cloud is fine, because I find the risk of my home being broken into and everything stolen AND the cloud goes down AND the cloud services are completely unrecoverable is a small enough risk to tolerate.
I don't think it's possible to have permanently indestructible files in existence over a given time period.
