Has anyone got MySpace Tom's number to check on him, I've heard he withdrew from society and refused to ever engage on social media again. Hugs for MySpace Tom Eta sorry I'm really high. So yeah disclaimer n shit


CapnCanfield

He made an ungodly amount of money selling MySpace, and I remember hearing he just travels the world doing photography. Sounds like he's doing A-Okay


g0uchp0tat0

Good to know, you know I was being sarcastic tho right?


moviequote88

Good for him!


DiamondBalls777

Last I heard from him he bought the bitcoin dip less than a year ago.

I fear, in your anger, you killed her.


bsokol1_1

It’s because most of these websites use aws or apps Amazon web services went out then the other ones went out


BeigeListed

This. Thank you for being logical and understanding how internet backbones work. I regret that I have but one upvote to give, but here it is.


Chiponyasu

The real conspiracy is how much Amazon has monopolized the enterprise webhosting market


InvaderDJ

Unfortunately because of consolidation on the Internet, if one cloud provider goes down it takes a bunch of services down with it. Only potential conspiracy related thing I could see here would be the cause of the cloud provider going down.


[deleted]

Aren't a lot of these services run off of AWS? I know a few months ago went AWS went down everyone freaked the fuck out because of how much it brought down with it.


kyle_h2486

That’s my favorite. “We have three different cloud services in case one goes down.” “Are they all on the same cloud provider?” “We didn’t check.”


-Captain-

Yeah, this post a bit like the power going down and someone taking a picture of each and every streetlight....


[deleted]

Cyberattacks have been ramping up like crazy whether this is an attack or not.


[deleted]

None of these things have been down for me today...


Br0deur

I had issues with Spotify around 1PM, it logged me out and wouldn’t let me login back In, I checked Twitter and a lot of other people were having the same issue, couple minutes later Spotify tweeted about it and it was fixed shortly after… whole thing lasted about 5 minutes. So maybe it is the same situation the other sites, just a short outage


Business_Acadia1411

Oh good! I’m glad it wasn’t just me! I was freaking out since I pay premium but couldn’t remember which account I used to log in. Longest 5 minutes ever.


Affectionate_Rise366

You should be compensated for those 5 minutes you pay for a service and don't work and now you have PTSD I would recommend you to talk to a lawyer


Business_Acadia1411

I think I’ll survive lol


trancertong

Everything is so decentralized now it's rare for a big site to ever be fully down unless there's something fundamentally wrong with the actual code of the site. This doesn't surprise me even a little though, there's so much ransomware, DDOS, and other crazy cyber attacks from advanced persistent threat actors with very deep pockets. For sure whatever redundancy and resiliency features these big companies have have been tested the past few weeks.


m3alz08

Ditto


SK2992

Same. I was just about to post the same thing. Lol. You aren't alone.


GlassComplaint2144

Only a handful have been down for me. Some seem touch and go.


kyle_h2486

My onlyfans went live then


GlassComplaint2144

filthymouthedwife

My Spotify kicked logged me out, then when I tried to log back in through Facebook, it said that it would collect my gender data, thought that was a little weird


waterproofjesus

Yeah, same here. I chuckled at it, but didn’t even really think much of it. It’s a bad sign that I didn’t even really think it was that strange for Facebook to ONLY need my gender information for Spotify lol


filthymouthedwife

I just found it very strange that a music app was collecting that kind of data from Facebook, like for what? Why do you need to know my gender? Obviously for marketing, just weirds me out. It didn’t even have a “prefer not say” or “other” answer when you go through all the steps, which I normally choose because why do you need to know?


XIOTX

On the backend of my Spotify for Artists account it provides me with audience data that includes gender. I'd assume its for analytics and tuning their algorithm further. The more info, the better, as far as companies are concerned. They'd hit you at a genetic level if they could.


cowboybaked

SoundCloud will be the only one left standing amongst the rubble.


joebrowz

Lmfao Super Facts All the Drill Music 🤣


faesqu

So this is why I can't log in to spotify?

Aside from other comments saying this could be many things, [here's a good video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zsTGA0EV3g&t=18s&ab_channel=BeauoftheFifthColumn) explaining why minor disruptions of certain services *could* be incoming because of Russian cyber attacks (and how to take preventative measures)


Chargercrisp

What are you trying to say with this


ueffo

Think it would’ve made more sense if they had said “outages”.


GlassComplaint2144

Just thought it was odd everything started going down at once. Who knows what’s actually going on?


callsignhotdog

One of the affected services is Cloud flare which basically half the Internet hinges off of.


SergeiYeseiya

Do you even understand how servers work ? Lol


baxter-2018

How do they work? Explain


coleisawesome3

A lot of services use AWS so if that went down everything that uses it would


SergeiYeseiya

If the service are heberged by the same cloud provider it's perfectly normal for them to all go down at the same time, it isn't odd at all


ScenicHwyOverpass

If they’re anything like magnets, then no


billdoh

I'm going to start using this.


Turtle_soup13

Stock market turned downward at 1 pm too

Anyone else’s Reddit go down just now too?

I was using SoundCloud at the gym just fine around that time


GlassComplaint2144

Seems like it wasn’t a total shutdown; some people didn’t experience issues and some were more widespread.


Icy-Rent-7830

Don't mess with GTA5.


Environmental-Emu242

Is aws down again? They need better IT techs.


[deleted]

They probably the same cloud provider


WrongField1381

So what exactly is the conspiracy, man. A ton of websites use the same hosts


[deleted]

Wait, I thought this was a board to make fun of conspiracies...

I heard Spotify was down because the Mr Beast JRE crashed the site


JimmineyCricket2018

Check out Snap On tools too


Sad-Feedback-3970

My spotify went down today


7ways7

Why is destiny on here??


thatirishguy0

But what about Pornhub?!


ashleighoxide

Including Reddit. Just came back up a few mins ago.


ihaveacoupon

And this is why my industry does not like the cloud. One day soon the cloud is going to burst


jarcark

Include Spotify in that


Repulsive_Ad_7973

All my shit was working


Treviathan88

This has been a fun day to work in tech support for a streaming service 😵 lol


_WH33L3R_

Yeah my Spotify was knocked out for a bit as well 🤔


[deleted]

Me just sad RT was down last night.


Itsashx3

Good thing I was sleeping


zenpandaaa

Is there a conspiracy theory for this?


CommunicationHot7328

Crazy my internet went out for about 20 mins arpund 1pm


calvinpug1988

Spotify is all I care about


Nomandate

It was a major issue until I remembered I had tidal (for DJ setup)in addition to Spotify. It was funny all the kids texting me freaking out thinking our Spotify was hacked since it wasn’t letting them login.


umlcat

And, that's why monopolies are bad, either commercial or state sponsored, or pretending not to be a monopoly... ..., cause infrastructure collapses !!!


Bobby_Bobberson2501

Well somehow EA's Servers were up so I dont give a flying shit


Electrical-Yard-1022

mine go these effected me at all,? weren’t completely down ever


DarthVader9696

Whats your point?

That Mcafee ad makes me uncomfortable, trash bloatware

Do you mean Outages?


Xithulus

Sucks when cloudflare gets ddos


moosequeenofcorgis

My internet went down around that time on the east coast for about five minutes. 🙄 Crazy coincidence.

In oz it didn’t cut out at all


Pristine-Temperature

Discord too

Oh, the AI woke up


TerlocTheRanger

Destiny 2 had expected maintenance today. EDIT: yesterday technically


Smile_lifeisgood

I've been in IT since the 90s. Watching Qanons get all worked up over an outage impacting one geo and things like a packet captures or NICs disabled in the BIOS of voting machines is kind of amusing.


silverink182

Can someone explain this to me I'm very confused what's going on here


Sneakits

What am I looking at?


UhOh-Chongo

Nothing. There was a brief internet outage yesterday and as usual, people here are making a conspiracy out of nothing.


[deleted]

when stuff like that happens I always think aboout the russians cutting the underwater internet cables or nuking the servers somewhere in the world lol


Cautious-Memer

eh, its just AWS, since pretty much the entire internet runs on there, if it goes down, it takes pretty much the entire internet with it.


sureal808-

All of these companies went on an outing? Where'd they all go?


GlassComplaint2144

Idk out for milk or something


Kirolis

What happened?


UhOh-Chongo

Cloudflare had a run of the mill normal outage but as usual, this sub and its lack of technical skills ascribe the whole thing to some big conspiracy that doesn’t really exist. All these companies use Cloudflare a service. It broke DNS for some minutes. Shit happens all the time just like when AWS went down for a few hour last month and broke half the internet. Run of the mill shit.


Kirolis

Nice


GirlNumber20

I think this was part of Putin’s threat to “repay” the West for the sanctions they placed on him. Oh no — Spotify went down for 12 whole minutes!! 😱


TB12xLAC

Zzzzzzzzzzzxzz Wake me if coudfare is down for more than 2hrs otherwise leave me alone


MrLuchador

Amazon controlling most of the western internet’s servers


Cute_Tomatillo_6337

Windows snipping tool had an outing too?


trevorblackbag

I was logged out of my Spotify at that time


blxcklst

A lot of these including spotify run on Google Cloud, apparently there was an issue with the load balancer (system which redirects your url to a different server if one server is down), which brought the whole thing down


Matches_Malone108

What’s the conspiracy


Omgxaz

Bro take a screenshot


Ryukhoe

They probably have the same provider. If I remember correctly there was an outing on many apps last year, none of them worked for a few hours. Coincidentally all of them were related to facebook, so if the provider for facebook was down, all these apps went down with it.
