should have said mcdonalds https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/15/business/mcdonalds-systems-failure/index.html

my own personal down detector. did chat.openai.com just break for anyone else? i don't know but i put mana on it anyway 👍

@strutheo Seems there was also downtime on Super Tuesday for many platforms, most notably YouTube and Discord. Not sure if it qualifies as "significant" (seems like all were down for under 2 hours), but there's a plethora of articles about it: https://ackodrive.com/news/instagram-facebook-threads-youtube-discord-down-for-users-worldwide/

@SaviorofPlant i was literally on all of those sites the whole time, first im hearing of it lol

ill look into this

@strutheo Do outages that occurred before the creation of this market count? Seems OpenAI suffered a DDOS attack in February:

Official tracker shows significant downtime Feb 13 - 14: https://status.openai.com/

we wont count it sry

@strutheo or ill NA and say 'a 2nd one'

cc @Amaryllis i made another entry for a FULL wikipedia outage

I assume this means amazon.com as opposed to AWS services etc.?

@Retr0id yes

Is there some benchmark for how "significant" is decided?

@Retr0id only to avoid people coming here with a tiny outage on their end, or a blip on the 'is this website out' trackers, which i dont count as serious outages

if there is a news report or widespread consensus or company acknowledgement i'll count it

@strutheo for company acknowledgement I guess it needs to be like, a dedicated blog post or press release, as opposed to e.g. a status dashboard update?

@Retr0id a blog or tweet is best i guess. depends on the dashboard and data it is showing.

I think LinkedIn is down?

@schlongenheim yup and confirmed https://twitter.com/LinkedInHelp/status/1765483735900725521

https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ is, as of the time of this comment, listing "Partial Outage" for reading and "Major Outage" for editing on Wikipedia.

@Tulip ok i honestly didnt think about this sort of distinction for outage, so i might resolve 50-50 or NA it. i was assuming it would be a loss of access to the wikipedia pages themselves not editors. good catch though thanks for pointing out!
