- rotten 13y agoThe first thing I thought of was 'Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore'.
- ConceitedCode 13y agoHas anyone figured out what caused this yet? I'm interested in knowing what took out all of Google.
- ihsw 13y agoIt wasn't all of Google, but just their search.
- mpyne 13y agoWell according to a friend of mine who works at the Goog it affected them internally as well, things like C.I. infrastructure and the like. So I doubt something that large goes down "all at once" but it seems it was more than search.
- ihsw 13y agoOh, my apologies then. It seems odd that everything was affected, and simultaneously too. Perhaps Skynet is online now and it's testing the reaction time and impact of its reach.
- bentrainer 13y agoIt was a bad DoS config push that caused a general GFE crash. The outage lasted less then 5 minutes, so not that interesting. On a more interesting note, the Helpouts leaker has been identified and fired: http://www.linkedin.com/in/georgearison http://www.linkedin.com/in/georgearison And in related news you might want to ask Jean Baptiste Quéru how feels about having been fired after having spent years working on AOSP. That's Google for ya.

- brador 13y agoor removed them... (before oversight hits)
- MisterWebz 13y agoIf that's true, then we should be seeing similar outages affecting other services too.
- brewdad 13y agoApple is doing some "planned maintenance" today at 6pm PDT. dons tinfoil hat
- MisterWebz 13y agoAnd then there's the NYTimes outage from a few days ago.
- tomrod 13y agoOr a lot of HNers mapped all IPv4 addresses at once with a new tool.
- newhouseb 13y agoUgh, this is such poor reporting. It took out 40% of global traffic to this one tiny analytics provider - NOT the whole internet. It's worded very poorly in GoSquared's blog post, but that doesn't forgive what should be basic reading comprehension.
- perlgeek 13y agoNote that it says "requests", not even traffic, so it's likely HTTP(S) only.
- teaneedz 13y agoI didn't even notice. I'm loving DuckDuckGo.
- dchest 13y agoYou're loving DuckDuckGo and don't have customers coming from Google.
- nish1500 13y agoA lot of people were reporting that other Google services were down as well. I didn't know there was a common link to bring down multiple servers, across multiple services, all at the same time. I thought they ran independently.
- x3sphere 13y agoYup, everything I access on Google was down... App Engine, Page Speed CDN, Gmail, YouTube, Analytics. Surprising to be honest, wonder what happened.
- munaf 13y agoDeepField says it was a 10-15% overall drop. http://www.deepfield.net/2013/08/googalapse/ http://www.deepfield.net/2013/08/googalapse/
