Is X Down?

[ethcat]

At least part of their servers. They used to have a status page (https://status.twitterstat.us/), but not anymore.

It's back. But ironically saw it reported down on bsky first... It lasted a good 15mn by the look of it...

Perhaps some of the alternatives can supply service?

Some kind of federated commons would be useful. A useful net. Maybe use-net?

Looks like a global outage. Was asking Grok to help me fine tune a sourdough bread recipe, and it got stuck halfway. Guess we are back to regular ol sourdough today.

This is like that bit from HHGTTG where Arthur asks the ship to make a perfect cup of tea, so it recreates tea from first principles and takes all the compute available, shutting down everything else until the tea is done. Grok is taking over the twitter servers for more batch thinking tokens until the perfect sourdough recipe is complete.

It's still (or maybe just coincidentally based on when I checked) down for me about 4hrs later.

[raarts]

Still down in The Netherlands.

[davgoldin]

[DataDaemon]

Oh no, they boycott Tesla, Starlink and now this.

[gverri]

Still down for me.

[k__]

Didn't Musk famously shut down one of their data centers reducing their redundancy ?

I don't know exactly, but it feels like they likely had multiple substantial backend changes since the acquisition. That story about Musk screeching pulling out racks from an NTT America datacenter was years ago.
