Internet outages ... with irony
TerraHertz:
So at the moment (2:15am 20210723) ebay.com (USA) is so down the server doesn't respond.
Thinking I'd see if it's just me, I tried https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/
and THAT isn't reponding either. Ironic.
So hunt for an outages map, and find this https://app.fing.com/internet/outages (see below.)
Hmm... but then I've never seen that map before, maybe it's often lit up like that?
Anyone know a good general Internet status site (that's working)?
Sal Ammoniac:
Hmmm. Both eBay and isitdownrightnow.com are both working just fine here (California).

TerraHertz:
Now they are both up again for me (Sydney, NBN-Optus) too.
While ebay.com was down, I tried ebay.com.au. That was up, but also unable to access information from ebay USA.
Ranayna:
That was a big one again, but apparently it was quickly resolved.
Akamai, one of the largest DNS Providers in the world, messed up, affecting a lot ot stuff, including AWS. And when AWS is affected, *many* websites are affected as well nowadays.
Similar to Cloudflare, when they hiccup even more is affected. It always makes me think that it cannot be good for single companies to have that much of an effect when they mess up...
