What my agency has been told.

Latest as of 2026-11-12 2:18:39 PM (EST)

Status: Investigating
We've determined that the elevated load isn't driven by an overall increase in traffic, but by a large number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable, which is shifting load onto the remaining infrastructure. We're investigating what's causing these servers to become unavailable while we work to safely return them to service.

Maybe they should try asking copilot why all those serves are unavailable.

Is Clippy alright? Is he safe?

[–] Kyrias@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't think anyone has heard from Clippy. I'm really worried right now.

He's seen some shit. Literally.

Clippy joined Scientology and started asking too many questions about Shelly.

It seems in their greed, they deprecated him

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

No, that's normal.

If it's down for another 6months maybe I'll notice.

"You're absolutely right, turning those servers off as a cost-cutting effort was a mistake, and has caused more problems than it has solved. I'm still learning, so I appreciate your understanding and patience 🙏"

"Hey Cortana, why are we so bad at this?"

[–] artyom@piefed.social 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is it fair to assume that any software failures moving forward are caused by vibecoding? 😅

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

I would like to think so

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Bad patch after patch Tuesday?

[–] twilightwolf90@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Something something paired core routers went down during audit tasks in AMER and EMEA knocking 2 AZs offline at the same time. Automation did what automation do and eff it all up. Now it takes all hands on deck to untangle it.

The internal messaging is nuts.

Copilot shit itself as well

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Maybe it's time to impose restrictions on spam emails? I gave up deleting stuff a long time ago. Maybe less servers will be needed.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

BGP? It’s probably BGP.

load balancers are just turned into total load takers.

[–] wookiepedia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I see you have enterprise experience doing load balancing using DNS.
