    • X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
    • This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
    • The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

          Add “cancel” after the X in the url for workaround access. Like any other workaround, this will only work until it doesn’t anymore

            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?

              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.

              I dunno about going down entirely, but bits and pieces (like SMS verification) definitely broke while they were undoing work and cutting "expenses" (like office leases)

                DDoS attacks are illegal, but what is the legal amount of times a person can call a website? I'm sure enough people doing just a few calls per second couldn't get a person into too much trouble. Has the law even defined the difference?

                The most illegal part of a DDoS is usually the hacking / exploiting of thousands or millions of devices to make them all request twitter.com

                I'm not entirely sure what rules it would fall under if you somehow performed a DDoS using entirely your own hardware and Internet connections. It might even be legal, just against the ToS of basically every ISP. I'm pretty sure if Google or ChatGPT take down a site by sending too many crawlers there's no legal consequences.

                        That's not really an authentic American meal unless you deep fry it in HFCS.

                          Most of them have gone to BlueSky. A few are on Mastodon but rarely as their primary (sadly). A lot of artists have gone to places like FurAffinity, Pixiv, and to a lesser extent DeviantArt.

                          Unfortunately a lot of them have just resorted to being on Patreon, which is unfortunate.

                              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?

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

                                    The legal difference would be intent; are you trying to access the website, or are you trying to bog it down? Proving intent can of course be difficult, but OTOH I don't know how much longer American courts are going to care about silly things like proof

                                    So, exactly what must a person avoid doing to keep from exacerbating X's DDos problem today?

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

                                          You might consider adding a couple eggs to that. Since you can afford "permesan" and butter, I feel like it's possible you might even be able to afford the eggs without having to take out a small personal loan.
