Hopefully they stay down for the next 24hrs+, good riddance.
WhatsApp Down?

Well don't ******* use it then. It ain't exactly rocket surgery.

I don't. But it's hard to avoid when news outlets decide to source from it or articles refer to tweets.
Even in this thread there's a post to a tweet. Could be completely made up yet everyone gets their internet panties in a twist.
Yes. If you're a boomer or an Arch Linux user. Otherwise, use Discord.

Yep, and fserves. Groups still use them to this very day.

All fun and games until all the other websites start dropping off... OcUK will keep going for a few days, with everyone posting theories about what's happened and complaining about not being able to play any games because steam's down, and spreading news from different parts of the country since all the news sites are down and the TV broadcasters have been offline since their timing servers dropped offline. And then, like that, it's gone. No more Internet.
North Korea's Internet will remain unaffected and suddenly becomes the most advanced computer network in the world.

I don't get the people who hate social media platforms? Don't use it if you don't want to?
This must be the longest downtime Facebook had for a long time! I know all too well how things like that happen and I feel sorry for network engineers, DevOps and SREs on call right now
the pressure must be insane.

All it takes is one comma in the wrong place

And thats why devs earn as much as a surgeon

That’s what discord and slack are built from

Only the ones that work with "you build it you own it principle"
I've worked in places where Devs dump anything together, fail to test it and push it to production only for it to blow up at 3am while they're all asleep and poor SREs etc get called out to debug their broken code. I've worked with people who literally refuse to look at their code until you point them at the line that is breaking things. So yeah, totally depends on the company and their way if working. If they build it and they own it the quality of work increases massively as they'll be the ones up at 3am trying to debug their code.

please STFU, if you don't like it don't use it!
people use there many services to work
The only way would be vpn, ilo, vsphere... console and open the doors that way (the software had an override) and we had a reception area where we could plug in the right side of all the security doors.
Domain as in internal active directory or external domain?
ADFS

Most likely preceded by a discussion with management which went something like this:
"Can you make something to do X,Y and Z?"
"Yes, but it'll cost £xxxxxx, we could make something which will do X and Y but won't work with Z for £xxxx"
"Lets go for the cheap option"
"Ok, here you go"
"WHY DOESNT THIS WORK WITH Z?! THE USERS ARE TRYING TO DO Z AND IT HAS BLOWN UP!!!!"
If your domain relies on dns entries in your domain records, which to be honest it shouldn't but if it does
, ours also had a 4g backup thing you could connect to to override the system.
