DuckDuckGo was down

And it's back, after 10 minutes. Nice job to the response team, that was fast !

Looks like it's back up now!

Works again. I wonder if the fix was just rebooting a server

Yes. : https://www.cnet.com/news/google-goes-down-for-5-minutes-int...

"Google suffered an outage late on Friday night, though you might not have noticed -- it only went down for five minutes. During that brief window, Internet traffic around the world dropped by a massive 40 per cent, according to Web analytics firm GoSquared, Sky News Online reports. "

Bing also: https://www.pcworld.com/article/183770/bings_30_minute_outag...

"Microsoft's Bing search engine was offline for about 30 minutes on Thursday evening."

Qwant also: https://blog.qwant.com/qwants-unprecedented-service-failure-...

"Qwant’s infrastructure broke down around 12.00 UTC, and the service could only be restablished hours later, around midnight"

Normally that does the trick, but it doesn't tell what went wrong so it could repeat again.
