Facebook down?


Recommended Posts

OMG - I love some of the tweets about it being down if you search Facebook on Twitter....

Back to the topic though - I thought my ISP was blocking for some reason, then I checked my Hosts file to make sure someone didn't poison it, then switched out of OpenDNS to make double sure that it wasn't OpenDNS. Not really a big deal for me to be on there, but thought it was interesting to see this thread. :)

LMAO

Anyone else see this??

It's down for me too. I keep getting different reference numbers but it's still always the same message,

Service Unavailable - DNS failure

The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later. Reference #11.1e790660.1285274644.1fbc1b

Anyone know if this might be some coordinated attack on Facebook from the 4chan world?

Some of the news stations now are on board with the Facebook being down train and soliciting people's opinions of how they feel about it. LOL

Well...at least this is helping towards Neowin reaching the 10m mark eh?

I think some of the ironic thing about Facebook being down like this is if you watch the Twitter, it literally is compounding in results and going up thousands of tweets per second regarding Facebook. Now, if you take that number of people obsessively reloading the Facebook page until it comes up and add that to the server load they are already getting, things are going to get really bad. Might have to "Cut the hardline!" lol

My latest favorite Tweet:

DNS FAILURE: Facebook is down which means 9 months from today, many children will born.

Yep. Was then going to read my notifications and I just keep getting that. Affects my iPod and Blackberry too. Down completely. Anything to do with the Game updates?

I think so, it was down yesterday that the games update was announced that I watched a video about it and they updated it. Now i think the games update screwed it up somehow.

Oh my gawd everyone, go walk outside and breathe some fresh air. Do you know what that is? Obviously this is not addressed to everyone, but to everyone throwing a fit about Facebook being down for a few. Chillax your panties, fellas. Go for a jog, cook some good dinner, fondle your girlfriend - I don't care.

Peace, love, and chicken grease,

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
