X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage.
-
- 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.
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?

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.
Yeah I seem to remember quite a few “oh so that’s what that wire does” situations that unfolded already.

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 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

I believe this is one of those things where intent matters, and may vary by location. Willing to bet hitting F5 a few times is safe, even a few hundred times as long as it’s in the realm of just checking if it’s up yet. The moment you have something scripted, you’re at least in the realm of having to explain it to a judge who probably knows fuck all about tech.

Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.
When you've lost the porn it's game over man.

No, don't ever organize like this. We are on the left. We are smart and we are righteous. We do not plan and coordinate and work together in this behavior. This would be sneaky and take social skills and foresight. No we need to gather in downtown Chicago with signs and megaphones. Protest in the streets. Only protest. We're not animals like trumpets who do this stuff and get away with it and never let up. They don't know the power of chaining themselves to a fence. They don't get the rush and mighty feeling when the crowd boos you and tells you to go home and throws things at you. No they don't understand. They don't understand we do it for them.

Do we know if that was real or if the media was just exaggerating things

He's claimed DDoS before right after the purge. I'm pretty sure it was just the platform being crushed by normal traffic. I'm skeptical this isn't just operating as funded.

Everyone strives for 5 9s, but musk aims for two 8s.
Don't forget the 14 words! Someone screenshotted this at just the right time:

In unrelated news, hate is reduced across the world.

Can we get a permanent outage of that goddamned website, pretty please? For the sake of humanity?
There have been so many instances where i wanna see replies of a post or more stuff about a person, but then that mandatory account log in wall kicks in.
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?

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)

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.

We had a nice homemade Thai curry here (and no, I don't live on Thailand)

Im going to have a meal of a block of cheddar cheese with melted cheese on top, with grated permesan sprinkled on top, basted with a 5lb tub of butter.

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