That One Guy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 As long as Parler is working, I'm good.Conversely, if Parler were to have an outage, I wouldn't expect anybody to report on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm going to guess that this is internal sabotage. They are too big and decentrailzed to go down across the globe because of random equipment problems or outages. I have no proof of this of course. Just a gut feeling. We will see.

Rhyta Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) This from the AP:The cause of the outage remains unclear. Madory said it appears Facebook withdrew “authoritative DNS routes” that let the rest of the internet communicate with its properties. Such routes are part of the internet’s Domain Name System, a central component of the internet that directs its traffic. Without Facebook broadcasting its routes on the public internet, apps and web addresses simple could not locate it... Jake Williams, chief technical officer of the cybersecurity firm BreachQuest, said that while foul play cannot be completely ruled out, chances were good that the outage is “an operational issue” caused by human error. Madory said there was no sign that anyone but Facebook was responsible and discounted the possibility that another major internet player, such as a telecom company, might have inadvertently rewritten major routing tables that affect Facebook.“No one else announced these routes,” said Madory... Computer scientists speculated that a bug introduced by a configuration change in Facebook’s routing management system could be to blame. Colombia University computer scientist Steven Bellovin tweeted that he expected Facebook would first try an automated recovery in such a case. Very lousy timing after the whistleblower controversy from 60 minutes Sunday. :smash: Edited October 4, 2021 by Rhyta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 I spent the last several hours on the corner of Clifton and Park Avenues in Newark, spouting political hot takes. No one cared to listen. BTW, Fakebook is back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 There seems to be a lot of anti- Facebook sentiment in this thread. I will share some great advice from a MOTS thread on the Super Bowl halftime show provided by the esteemed J2112YYZ that I hope can be as much a help to you as it was to me that could resolve the situation and improve your life immeasurably. It was a true life changer and an incredible eye opener. To paraphrase his wise words...if you don't like it, don't use it! :mushroomcloudexplodes: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) FB Messenger is not infrastructure. It's a service. Essential to some, but a service nonetheless. Now, the internet itself, the stuff that the services need to run. That's infrastructure. Servers, cables, DNS, Data Centers, Switches......

Fakebook like Amazon has gotten so big that it rendered somethings practically obsolete. TRF thrives while a great many forums have died due to FB Groups. Many businesses market on FB, at this time it’s almost essential to the brand I’m building. Part of me hoped the outage would last much longer. Zuckerberg and Co. need a good kick in the nuts. Congress is likely to regulate Fakebook, be careful what you wish for... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been able to keep contact with people from different phases of my life, it's been great. I also have access to people who I'd never have interacted with if FB didn't exist. Minor celebrities, people at NASA, Just as a couple of examples. It's always cool to have chats with people who's job has been to work on actual spacecraft. How would i do that in the old days? Go to some conference, maybe and interact for 15 seconds? The noise is to be avoided. But the good stuff is worth staying on the platform for.

Trump and his followers would be talking about the Deep State and Biden and who knows who else shutting it down because they (Parler) dare to allow the truth.
