Seems like a fair bet that Amazon Web Services is having some problems?
I really appreciate that the commercial internet runs on like three service providers. Would love to see it crash and burn.

Me: *watching random thing error out*
Me: *restarting everything, feeling annoyed*
Me: Rats. Well. I guess I’ll see what Lemmy’s got on
Me: Ooohhhhhh

I suspect the big problem is that IAM is affected and it is not decentralized, which is causing other systems worldwide (even outside of AWS' us-east-1 location) which rely on IAM in us-east-1 to also fail. I'm having trouble even logging into the AWS console to check on my European servers.
Edit: IAM is the main authentication method. So AWS may still be up and running fine in other locations around the world; but if you can't connect to them because AWS' internal authentication is all fucked up...
Aws us-east-1 seems to have problem, and we can now see what is hosted there.
Is Signal down for anyone else?
Reddit seems to be having issues as well. hah
Outage is ending.
Oct 20 2:27 AM PDT We are seeing significant signs of recovery. Most requests should now be succeeding. We continue to work through a backlog of queued requests. We will continue to provide additional information.
I've just been on Reddit and it's having some serious issues right now.
Reddit has had issues for years, that’s why so many of us are here.
Oh, you meant the aws thing.
Using the old interface seems to yield better results there. It appears to be their newer API model that's suffering.
The old Reddit interface is always the best one.
At this point I'd nearly appreciate the removal of old.reddit or RES. My desktop browsing experience hasn't changed in roughly a decade and a half and that's a shitload of inertia. A few trims of my subscribed list has limited my exposure to the worst of the slop and botting.
Mobile is absolutely a different situation for both Reddit and Lemmy alike. I found Jerboa shortly after the API disaster and have stuck with it since, but I probably need to look into tweaks for desktop/browser Lemmy. RES and old.reddit are a killer combo but fuck their 'official' app and the 'new' interface.
Regardless, I no longer participate on Reddit and highly prefer interacting here; more interesting and informative conversations by far.

Ah, you mean just now. It's not night everywhere!
I assumed Cloudflare tbh
Damn! I was getting pissed at my isp because so much is loading slowly.
I guess this explains the slow loading times for various things.
I thought VRChat was down, but I can log in on the Quest stand alone version. For some reason, the PC version would flash the login screen then just sit in that blue void not actually loading anything. :/
I also could not connect to Ubisoft to play Bridge Crew and trying to log into UbiConnect won't send the 2FA code to actually get the fuck in.
How long ago did you take the screenshot? Because I am signed in to two of those services right now and they are working 100% fine.

A lot of the affected services seem to be partially functional right now. It looks like the AWS network that went offline is one managing real-time analytics data, mostly.
Could be that your region relies on different servers, could be that only the sign-in is down.
Wtf is "whatnot"? How is it amongst such well-known stuff (except Instructure, too, I guess)?
With so many eggs being in one basket it really makes me wonder when AWS goes down if it isn't actually something that's an attack when they say something like "oh it's just DNS" because why would they admit it?
What the? My local internet provider uses Amazon Authentication for their webpage?
