Facebook outage

[hollohas]

I install access controls systems, a lot of them are moving to cloud based management and smart device app integration in addition to or in lieu of using actual keyfobs or card key tokens. The app integration would require an operational web connection between the access control server and the outside world/internet to work. Depending on whether or not Facebook is hosting their own access control server and if they are operating it off the same system that the platform itself is running on then I could see that outage happening.

Yikes. That's concerning. I guess it makes sense, people are installing residential versions too. I'm all for web connected tools. I love them. I have tons around my house, including sensors of all sorts. But none of them responsible for my main security. The web connected door lock is where I draw the line.

I enjoy certain aspects of facebook, and I understand the risks associated with using FB. I honestly kind of enjoyed the chaos today

I couldn't possibly care any less than I do. If neither of the three ever went online again the world would be a better place.

Ditto, waste of time.

I seriously care about Facebook marketplace. It generates about 12% ( and changing) of the revenue.

However I really didn't care for Facebook being down. I cross posted 4 -5 website that if someone wanna shop, buyers most likely have used different platform.

What’s a DNS. I need a crayon and construction paper explanation.

The yellow pages for the internet. Translates the website you type into your browser into the proper numbers needed to actually 'find' it.

So what would wiping that to either hinder or help them?

I'm not a computer guy, but I think that means when you type Facebook.com(munism) into your computer, it doesn't take you anywhere because the real address (DNS) doesn't exist.

Somebody posted something that didn't sit well with the military industrial complex. So they shut it down. I wonder what the information was? COVID? UFO? China? 25th Amendment?

Funny I tracked VP Harris on AF2 this weekend. She went to Palm Springs CA.

You're suggesting that somebody posted something anti-Military Industrial Complex on Facebook, so "they" (Facebook or the government) shut down the entire site and their other products like Whatsapp and Instagram to... do what?
