DNS.... ETC......
ENGINEERS CAN'T EVEN BADGE IN, TO GET IN TO FIX IT.....

Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.facebook.com.

If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

Try again later.
Check your network connection.
If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

Facebook ha enviado a empleados su centro de datos en Santa Clara (#California) para intentar un "restablecimiento manual" de los servidores de la empresa, según el #nytimes. #FacebookDown

En en serio. https://t.co/CsjAAmcmee

Really.

#1 Set as headline. This is a heads up for all those who were not aware — we’ll no doubt have mire information published for the midnight rollover.

#5 And there's always Site B.

When it is populated, it will be read only.

#6 Coupled with the stage hands strike shutting down Hollyweird, two of the most malign influences on American Life are dead in the water right now. Good times...

#7 Thank you badanov.

Little bit ago did a refresh here, and site went blank. Very likely on my end with disagreements within the local CPU Guild, but Cascade crossed my mind for those few minutes.

#15 Sunday night:

FB manager: OK, all the datacenter managers should be on this encrypted call by now. Zuck?

Zuck: Right. OK, we've worked this out. At precisely 1530UTC, that's 0830PDT, we kill dns. That will instantly disconnect Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and all our other services from the world, along with the email, slack, and other connections used by our low level SREs and techs. At exactly the same time, the door card readers in all our facilities will go offline and all staff not already at work will be locked out. Those inside will be movement restricted. So it's critical that you be inside your facilities at that time and at the assigned locations.

Now, here's what I want you to do....
