The Health and Care Professions Council's website was making GBS threads the bed earlier. I just assumed it was because several hundred organisations were frantically checking that their employees are still registered professionals, but maybe it was something else

As long as there are two digital devices capable of communicating with each other, IRC will exist. Reassuring in a way.

(It appears to be a major fuckup in their network configuration leading to them effectively removing themselves entirely from the internet, the DNS failure being the most obvious symptom to the kind of person that thinks everything below layer 4 etc etc) e: willing to bet a *substantial* amount of money that their network support are outsourced which is why the rollback is taking so long. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Oct 4, 2021 |

From what we know, Facebook network engineers just pulled the server-side equivalent of locking your keys in your car.

Someone somewhere on irc was saying that apparently Facebook managed to lock their sysadmins out of their networks with this, so yeah like keys in the car as was said. Not sure how accurate all this is but apparently none of their sysops people are physically near a data centre, while the data centre people don't have the DNS knowledge etc required to fix, so it's taking a while e: dunno about outsourced support but doesn't necessarily need to be outsourced to achieve this, just incompetence is enough

Linked In messaging still seems to be working if you need to contact someone who you are networked with on there. This reminds me of when the internet got taken down in Egypt during the 2011 revolution. We were chasing around on proxies for several hours with the security services minutes behind us. Then they just pulled the plug on the DNS tables. That was that. Be interesting if anyone has the IP address for Facebook to see if you can still get it directly? We managed to do that in the revolution just enough to get a message on but then certain tv channels were posting the IP addresses regularly.

Just thinking of all the local small businesses / sole traders whose entire online presence is a facebook page. (loads round here). Not fun for them. Plus all the other people who run 'facebook live' sessions for their clients and so on. Plus those of us who have friends around the world and no way to contact them other than via facebook / messenger!
