7 thoughts on “So I Heard Facebook Was Down Yesterday”
It’s not just about modern society and perception.
This is from the daily tech news thread on Ace Of Spades.
“All Facebook properties went down for six hours due to a BGP misconfiguration. When everything goes down at once across a giant cloud provider like that, it’s usually BGP. Once you screw it up, you can lose remote access to the networking gear so you can’t fix it, so a five minute solution can be stuck waiting for the right engineer to arrive on site with a serial cable. The outage caused Facebook apps to go bananas with DNS requests which caused problems for Twitter, Google, Amazon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon…”
Back in ’98, if I remember the year correctly, some guy in florida set up his BGP announcements exactly backwards, telling the Interwebbies that his poor little 2500 Cisco router would be the recipient of ALL routes on the Intertubes instead of just his assigned network. The world came crashing in on his poor router, which promptly threw up and choked. The guy fixed the configuration to properly announce just his routes, but there was a problem… it uncovered a bug in BGP announcements in the Cisco IOS that resulted in BGP border routers needing to be reset to clear things up. Had the Intertubes effectively down for a few days. A real “Oops”, big time!
congressional hearing are a waste of time. nothing gets done or fixed or solved
seems to me nothing more than a way for the critters to get face time on tv.
but depending on who your are they can bankrupt your ass !
insider trading is against the law, except for congress, they are allowed to do it.
for all intents and purposes this country is a 3rd world shithole, but the lights
stay on longer, most of the time
we used to have a saying back in the 101st, yoyo- you are on your own.
Fecesbook shuts down the day before a whistle blower testifies to congress. There are no coincidences. On a side note when was the last time the congressional hearing dog and pony show resulted in any real consequences for wrong doers?
