    Our GCP VMs are also not responding (europe-west4-a and us-central1-b).

    edit: Seems to be a network problem. We can't connect to them from Bulgaria, but we can connect to them from the US.

    Google and YT works for me just fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo4bA4p3MBQ

    Maybe depends on region

    Even connectivitycheck.gstatic.com doesn't seem to be responding, making Androids think they don't have internet access.

    Everything Google related is down (Gmail, docs, youtube, google, etc.).

    Is this the end?

    It's not limited to Google, now I wonder if this is actually a Cloudflare/other CDN/International Infra issue or is it that so many services use Google Cloud stuff and they are gone too because of it.

    Currently working fine for me in Pakistan. Btw, you can run https://api.webprobe.org/scan/ in a spare tab in the background and it will periodically check the status of such websites and update the NetBlocks status.

    I feel like it's an issue in the Google infrastructure as all services which are down seem to be related to Google.

    Another example is the HN API, which runs on Firebase.

    I think all affected websites run on google infra somehow, it's not a cloudflare problem .

    (I love how we are using abreviated "infra" bcz we can't google how to write the full word)

    the initial handshake of the connection in the affected countries is going through all the way obviously so the problem is not google services. the issue is in the interim path

    I guess either this is an internet exchange collocation, ISP tier 1 fuckup or some of the non-existent agencies were instructed to sabotage connections. Or they did some interception fuckup.

    Can confirm, from Yerevan - Armenia. Internet slow, then slows down to a halt in a matter of 10 seconds. Then it'll work in a burtst of another 10 seconds, and go back to nothing at all, and stay like that for minutes at a time. Internet on a National level is fast. Any connection to the outside seems to go through a bottleneck.

    It is funny because this is one of the very few words I learned while a kid to construct it from other parts.

    So it is "infra" + "structure" but structure is common word so I need to remember how to write "infra" only.

    The most bizarre one is the word "yesterday" which I memorized as "yes" + "ter" + "day" and don't ask me why "ter" because I don't remember.

    DNS maybe?

    Hmmm maybe that is why www.youtube.com wasn't resolving, but youtube.com is.

    Had to change my /etc/hosts to get mpv youtube working today.

    I don't, for that I usually rely on search engine or autocorrect. I hate the fact that it is not pronounced as it is written. Because I always go with "Wenesday" on my own.

    I'm generally for spelling reform, but I like Wednesday's reference to Odin/Woden. Maybe respell it Wedensday and pronounce it like that too.

    Ah, yet it's easy!

    The day of Wednes. Wednes, old spelling of wedness, the state of being wed.

    (So my comment is not totally useless, I'll link to the actual etymology for the ones who are now curious - my sibling comment already alluded to it)
