My @Sources are telling me it's a DNS failure.

What does that mean in Engrish?

It's funny my IG just went down, 5xx server, and Mrs. Swaye just texted to tell me her Fagbook account is unresponsive. Hoping this is the sign that the SMOD just landed right on silicon valley.

The whistleblower last night on 60 Minutes have scared the living fuck out of Zuckerberg et. al. They are in full retreat mode this morning.

Imagine what happens when the peasants with pitchforks and torches actually arrive at their gates?

"outage" is the electronic equivalent of shredding documents.

They know the jig is up.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. When users type domain names such as ‘google.com’ or ‘nytimes.com’ into web browsers, DNS is responsible for finding the correct IP address for those sites. Browsers then use those addresses to communicate with origin servers or CDN edge servers to access website information. This all happens thanks to DNS servers: machines dedicated to answering DNS queries.

edit: Also hearing from another well placed @sources at Orkin that Fagbook let an issue go into production that dropped their edge routers. So sort of like an "accidental" self deplatforming. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if losing tens of millions in ad revenue is worth whatever "clean up" they are doing to their servers post 60 minutes expose.

I'm now educated enough to be dangerous. Thanks!
