#573Services are not restored. Some came up again, some not. My Gsuite business mail is still completely down, while youtube started working again. I'm pretty sure there will be some internal conferences at Google after this to make sure infrastructure problems can't propagate across the entire company and world at this rate even in the event of a sysop fatfingering a console...

#574So, 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?

#577Earlier quoted context omitted.
Total world economic output is ~$150M / minute, so billions every minute is off by few orders of magnitude.

Simple math says:
World GDP (via Google) $80,934,771,028,340
Minutes per year 365 * 24 * 60 = 525,600
Divide and you get 153,985,485

#579The cool thing is that newpipe is working while youtube is down.
Hey, are you updating newpipe from F-Droid?
I do, and it stopped working for me weeks ago.

#580Gmail said my account was "temporarily" unavailable... had a moment considering if it wasn't temporary. Good reminder to remove my reliance on gmail especially.
Yes! It takes some work to switch, but it's worth it. Buy your own domain name, and link it to an existing service if you don't want to host yourself. You'll always be able to switch your mail alias when having issues with your email host.
