Lots of big names down at once (a whole page), what’s happening?
Is Signal down for anyone else?
Reddit seems to be having issues as well. hah
Yeah same no signal here on signal.
Is Signal down for anyone else?
Yes: https://fedia.io/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/2885438/-/comment/12751404
Yup, Signal is down. The one centralized service I’m still rooting for I guess. Disappointed they’re running on AWS.
sad to see my favorite game clash royale down
Me: *watching random thing error out*
Me: *restarting everything, feeling annoyed*
Me: Rats. Well. I guess I’ll see what Lemmy’s got on
Me: Ooohhhhhh
I feel this in my midnight cursing and investigation.
I gotta get HAss going so I can still use my lights when the clowd breaks.
Damn! I was getting pissed at my isp because so much is loading slowly.
I guess this explains the slow loading times for various things.
I was about to restart my whole network while watching something on Stremio. One look at Lemmy was enough to turn that off and pick up a book. Funny how books never buffer 😂
How long ago did you take the screenshot? Because I am signed in to two of those services right now and they are working 100% fine.
Could be that your region relies on different servers, could be that only the sign-in is down.
about 10 mins ago
Could it be that web services are divided into regions
A lot of the affected services seem to be partially functional right now. It looks like the AWS network that went offline is one managing real-time analytics data, mostly.
Ahhhhhhh, I see. That makes sense!
some people blame [noun] a [verb] games on roblox
someone likely borked IAM.
Perplexity is down as well.
Outage is ending.
Oct 20 2:27 AM PDT We are seeing significant signs of recovery. Most requests should now be succeeding. We continue to work through a backlog of queued requests. We will continue to provide additional information.
I’ve just been on Reddit and it’s having some serious issues right now.
Using the old interface seems to yield better results there. It appears to be their newer API model that’s suffering.
The old Reddit interface is always the best one.
At this point I’d nearly appreciate the removal of old.reddit or RES. My desktop browsing experience hasn’t changed in roughly a decade and a half and that’s a shitload of inertia. A few trims of my subscribed list has limited my exposure to the worst of the slop and botting.
Mobile is absolutely a different situation for both Reddit and Lemmy alike. I found Jerboa shortly after the API disaster and have stuck with it since, but I probably need to look into tweaks for desktop/browser Lemmy. RES and old.reddit are a killer combo but fuck their ‘official’ app and the ‘new’ interface.
Regardless, I no longer participate on Reddit and highly prefer interacting here; more interesting and informative conversations by far.
Reddit has had issues for years, that’s why so many of us are here.
Oh, you meant the aws thing.
US government testing their ability to shut down the internet
What the? My local internet provider uses Amazon Authentication for their webpage?
Aws us-east-1 seems to have problem, and we can now see what is hosted there.
The most used region in AWS, so not surprising
Seems like a fair bet that Amazon Web Services is having some problems?
I really appreciate that the commercial internet runs on like three service providers. Would love to see it crash and burn.
Meredith just tooted that Signal is down due to an AWS outage.
They didn’t have a failover setup??
It’s more like a dependency of a dependency doesn’t and that breaks all relying systems.
The biggest ad Matrix/Element has ever gotten.
Travel back in time 20 years and that sentence makes you sound like a crazy person.
Even now it mostly sounds like the sort of line someone in a Black Mirror episode would say
I sometimes catch myself saying programmer-nerdy stuff past me would be incredibly confused about
Signal uses AWS, fuck ! That’s deceiving, Where is security if it runs on Besos hardware ?
Unless they broke encryption as we know it, it’s fine. Ethically/morally who knows, is it more important to have a reliable e2ee messaging tool constantly? Probably
It was much better with rack space leading the way. We never had outages. Ever.
