Yep. There is very little reason or benefit in centralizing a naturally decentralized technology like email

I wonder how big a pile of eggs you'd need for the outermost ones to not break when the grenade explodes...

Where's Randall Munroe when you need him

Thats art right there. Either sloppers, hacks, or attacks, keel it up please. I want a week of outage. Teach em a lesson.

Business as usual, no?

My guess: Very vibe crapped November patches on Windows pulling the bottom from under Azure and M365. They should migrate to NetBSD for some actual resilience heheheh.

M365 down I think

this is one of those rare times I enjoy all our shit being in the cloud. Not a damn thing I can do but post an advisement, and everyone knows there’s no room to be mad at me. It’s practically been a day off

Also in IT, if only Teams could go down too 🤞🏻

You should know by now 2 is one, 1 is none

Nearly all of Microsofts online services like Outlook are down :). Unfortunately not Microsoft Teams for my company though

There's a major Internet services interruption happening. I first saw it reported that Microsoft Outlook was down. It looks like the problem has spread to other Microsoft services, and also to other companies' services.

Yep, lol. Absolutely everything I use is fully up and operational. Sucks to be corpo.

Yep, outside of work I moved on from all proprietary tech were possible. So anything of mine is just plodding along like normal. But I am watching the corporate world burn like Nero on the roof. Good times.

At least the status page is loading now.

Yep, we try to protect ourselves but alas are dependent on others. Eventually their problems become our problems.

Honestly put that bitch on the annual review this year mate

basically all microsoft service backends do run on linux unfortunately

Could be network traffic overload, imagine all global M365 users continuously and rather aggressively retrying to fetch mail etc

People going "welp guess I might as well boot a quick game"? Lol
