The data at downforeveryoneorjustme make it appear that "only lasted for about half an hour" is BS. In fact, they appear to be having problems again this morning.

Looks like Elon was chewing on the wires again
Someone did the world a favor.
Fascists value compliance and ideological fervor over competency, so naturally all fascist led faction experience a competency crisis sooner or later.May this happen more often.
Couldn't happen to Mastodon.
insert ‘oh no, anyway’ meme here
As you wish.
I came here looking for it, so I may as well follow through on the prompt.

The world had peace for 30 minutes.
No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.
Let's gooooo. Take that garbage site out
Was it related to graphql these clowns using?

Oh, that's why xcancel was returning 502
nitter.net is back, by the way.
Yaaay!
Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.
When you've lost the porn it's game over man.

I still can't believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.

Nothing of value was lost.
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?
DDOS on what exactly?
Which service? Graphql?
Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.

Let it burn! It's not our problem.
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?
Chakalaka.
Dice an onion and a bell pepper, throw it into plenty of fat, sizzle until the onions are glassy, add some chilli (pickled is fine the end result can use some acid), not too little English curry powder, mix well, making sure the powder is roasted (it changes taste quite drastically), top with a grated carrot or two (veggie proportions are up to taste), put on the lid and let steam on medium heat (err towards low), once steamed (the carrot shreds basically fall apart) add a can of baked beans. Those don't need to be cooked, just let the stuff stand for a bit until everything is at equal temperature.
Eat as-is or with whatever, rice works well. Probably works with any curry mix I just happen to be out of Thai for a surprising amount of time now so I didn't try yet. Size-wise I'd say that the onion should be cut about half the size the beans are, and the bell pepper pieces to be about twice as large as the beans. If you want carrot pieces you can do that but I'd still suggest shredding some so that it can dissolve some sweetness into the saucy part.

Its been down at my house for a while now.
It was never up in this house.
I don't have an account. Never did. But I have a custom blocklist running on my router and elons crap is there. Along with a lot of trash sites like facebook.
This was bound to happen, someone was going to attack the Nazi propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter at some point.
I wouldn't be too quick to rule out mismanagement from an incompetent owner.
Remember that america is now run by said incompetence with illegal firings and mass slash and burn tactics to raze the entire establishment

- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
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.

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.
Half an hour is “we just broke our SLA” level bad. I guess if your org has been stripped of all its talent that’s the new standard.

Do it again!
Good riddance
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?

God I hope there's some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.
Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot
