I assumed my internet was down until I opened Lemmy. Looking around, I’m seeing complaints about google and google services (gmail, drive, etc.)
god I hate GCI with a passion
According to downdetector.com, it wasnt just google. It was the majority of major websites, including Cloudflare, Xfinity, Verizon, Starlink, & AWS too. I wonder if it has anything to do with Chinese or Russian cyber warfare or maybe someone seriously messed up at Google’s DNS server trying to delete their puppy pictures folder while hungover:
hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ sudo ls -a password for hungover: . .bashrc .ssh .. Puppies .zshrc hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ sudo rm -rf / [/^X][/^X][/^X][/^X][/^Z][/^V] hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ rm -rf ~/Puppies
Looks like the outage was localized to certain areas: https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1h75ppj/fix_it_fix_it_now/
FIX IT FIX IT NOW YOUR WEBSITE IS DOWN GOOGLE (NO IT’S NOT MY CONNECTION THE ISSUE IS YOU GOOGLE
I’m glad we don’t see many of these over on Lemmy. Hate it when it’s just demand, demand, demand.
Oh no, some shareholders might have lost some money.
Lol. Good.
CloudFlare DNS of 1.1.1.1 had the hickup.
As it tradition
It’s not DNS
It can’t be DNS
it was DNSThis is the way.
I have heard that Google has never been down for >20 years…

Still fairly reliable overall I’d say.
They were going to do a page like this for Azure but realized that page would be larger than the rest of Wikipedia.
