The data at downforeveryoneorjustme make it appear that "only lasted for about half an hour" is BS. In fact, they appear to be having problems again this morning.

As you wish.

I came here looking for it, so I may as well follow through on the prompt.

Lemmy uses pretty standard markdown, so this works in lots of forums besides lemmy.

[-] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

I see. I also just discovered in Mlem that the little toolbar when composing a post can be scrolled left to right. Thanks for the info!

The world had peace for 30 minutes.

No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.

Elon's blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?

[-] sommerset@thelemmy.club 1 points 4 hours ago

DDOS on what exactly?

Which service? Graphql?

[-] T156@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.

I still can't believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Yeah, I really could not understand the motivation behind that. Why throw away such a valuable brand? I mean the name was even a clever play on words that also gave them a cute bird icon/mascot.

"Twitter", with that bird logo is just a slam dunk, that's solid gold branding... It's insane to randomly "go a different direction" and then land at "X". If I was their brand coordinator or director of marketing when they made that change, I'd resign then and there.

Changing their name to "X" was essentially lighting 20% of their assets on fire on day 1.

Oh no. So anyway, tonight we're having a stereotypical American meal that takes 25 minutes off your life; Sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. It's quite good, everything made from scratch since I don't have a job anymore. How about you?

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

Chakalaka.

Dice an onion and a bell pepper, throw it into plenty of fat, sizzle until the onions are glassy, add some chilli (pickled is fine the end result can use some acid), not too little English curry powder, mix well, making sure the powder is roasted (it changes taste quite drastically), top with a grated carrot or two (veggie proportions are up to taste), put on the lid and let steam on medium heat (err towards low), once steamed (the carrot shreds basically fall apart) add a can of baked beans. Those don't need to be cooked, just let the stuff stand for a bit until everything is at equal temperature.

Eat as-is or with whatever, rice works well. Probably works with any curry mix I just happen to be out of Thai for a surprising amount of time now so I didn't try yet. Size-wise I'd say that the onion should be cut about half the size the beans are, and the bell pepper pieces to be about twice as large as the beans. If you want carrot pieces you can do that but I'd still suggest shredding some so that it can dissolve some sweetness into the saucy part.

This was bound to happen, someone was going to attack the Nazi propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter at some point.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't be too quick to rule out mismanagement from an incompetent owner.

[-] JakJak98@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Remember that america is now run by said incompetence with illegal firings and mass slash and burn tactics to raze the entire establishment

Didn't Twitter go down multiple times for similar periods of time not long after Musk fired everybody? Or am I just hallucinating wishful thinking.

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Half an hour is “we just broke our SLA” level bad. I guess if your org has been stripped of all its talent that’s the new standard.

[-] daddy32@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I'm quite surprised it took this long for the outage to appear after all those cuts by the fucker.
