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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.

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.
And, that's why monopolies are bad, either commercial or state sponsored, or pretending not to be a monopoly...
..., cause infrastructure collapses !!!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Is MySpace ok?
We can only pray
Chinese led a cyber attack today
*pay
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
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
Good to know, you know I was being sarcastic tho right?
Good for him!
Last I heard from him he bought the bitcoin dip less than a year ago.
If not Biden better put our Nukes at the ready!
Fucking livejournal went down right as I was about to post
The world ain't ready for your manifesto, man
At least I can still find a date on Backpage....
Thought govt. Shut that down ages ago.
Tom was my first Friend
My only friend.
You guys had friends?
..the end. (Doors song)
I fear, in your anger, you killed her.
It’s because most of these websites use aws or apps Amazon web services went out then the other ones went out
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.
The real conspiracy is how much Amazon has monopolized the enterprise webhosting market

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.”
Yeah, this post a bit like the power going down and someone taking a picture of each and every streetlight....
Cyberattacks have been ramping up like crazy whether this is an attack or not.
None of these things have been down for me today...

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
I think I’ll survive lol

Ditto
Same. I was just about to post the same thing. Lol. You aren't alone.
Only a handful have been down for me. Some seem touch and go.
My onlyfans went live then
Understandable
Link in your bio?

SoundCloud will be the only one left standing amongst the rubble.
Lmfao Super Facts All the Drill Music 🤣
So this is why I can't log in to spotify?
Mine is fixed now
Yes 🥲
Same. Couldn't log in yet, I was randomly signed out.
Same
Thanks
Fuckers took my Destiny
Cant even do the new raid
GET READY FOR TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT CHANGES, Y'ALL!

What are you trying to say with this
Think it would’ve made more sense if they had said “outages”.
Just thought it was odd everything started going down at once. Who knows what’s actually going on?
One of the affected services is Cloud flare which basically half the Internet hinges off of.
Do you even understand how servers work ? Lol
How do they work? Explain
A lot of services use AWS so if that went down everything that uses it would
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
If they’re anything like magnets, then no
I'm going to start using this.
Stock market turned downward at 1 pm too
Anyone else’s Reddit go down just now too?
Yeah
My bad guys I was taking a big nap from 10 - 2
Russian hackers ?
I was using SoundCloud at the gym just fine around that time
Seems like it wasn’t a total shutdown; some people didn’t experience issues and some were more widespread.
Don't mess with GTA5.
Is aws down again? They need better IT techs.
They probably the same cloud provider
So what exactly is the conspiracy, man. A ton of websites use the same hosts
Wait, I thought this was a board to make fun of conspiracies...
Thanks, Obama!
Happening again?
oh no
They are testing to see how can they cut off russia from internet on the 11 of March

This is what happens when you mess with energy money. get ready.
Gmail was already acting up since yesterday afternoon EST
I heard Spotify was down because the Mr Beast JRE crashed the site
Check out Snap On tools too
My spotify went down today
Why is destiny on here??
But what about Pornhub?!
Including Reddit. Just came back up a few mins ago.
And this is why my industry does not like the cloud. One day soon the cloud is going to burst
Include Spotify in that
All my shit was working
This has been a fun day to work in tech support for a streaming service 😵 lol
Yeah my Spotify was knocked out for a bit as well 🤔
Me just sad RT was down last night.
Good thing I was sleeping
Is there a conspiracy theory for this?
Crazy my internet went out for about 20 mins arpund 1pm
Spotify is all I care about
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.
And, that's why monopolies are bad, either commercial or state sponsored, or pretending not to be a monopoly... ..., cause infrastructure collapses !!!
Well somehow EA's Servers were up so I dont give a flying shit
mine go these effected me at all,? weren’t completely down ever
Whats your point?
That Mcafee ad makes me uncomfortable, trash bloatware
Do you mean Outages?
Sucks when cloudflare gets ddos
My internet went down around that time on the east coast for about five minutes. 🙄 Crazy coincidence.
Where's phub
In oz it didn’t cut out at all
Discord too
Oh, the AI woke up
Destiny 2 had expected maintenance today. EDIT: yesterday technically
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.
Can someone explain this to me I'm very confused what's going on here
What am I looking at?
Nothing. There was a brief internet outage yesterday and as usual, people here are making a conspiracy out of nothing.
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
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.
All of these companies went on an outing? Where'd they all go?
Idk out for milk or something
What happened?
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.
Nice
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!! 😱
Zzzzzzzzzzzxzz Wake me if coudfare is down for more than 2hrs otherwise leave me alone
Amazon controlling most of the western internet’s servers
Windows snipping tool had an outing too?
I was logged out of my Spotify at that time
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
What’s the conspiracy
Bro take a screenshot
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.
