If it seems like your internet browsing is hitting more walls than possible today, you’ll be happy to know that it’s not your computer. A massive Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage is striking down lots and lots of web pages, leading to huge hiccups on a number of domains. Amazon is reporting the issue on its AWS dashboard, citing “Increased Error Rates,” which is a fancy way of saying that something is seriously broken.
Amazon Web Services is the cloud services arm of Amazon, and its Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is used by everyone from Netflix to Reddit. When it goes down — or experiences any type of increased latency or errors — it causes major issues downstream, preventing content from loading on web pages and causing requests to fail.
“We’ve identified the issue as high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1,” Amazon explains on its services tracking page, adding that the issue “is also impacting applications and services dependent on S3. We are actively working on remediating the issue.”
It's like our internet infrastructure is shit or something.

this kinda shit happens pretty often due to having shit infrastructure. What are you getting at user?
Daniel Price
Holla Forums is down about 300 UIDs (we tend to hover around 2700 these days when there aren't happenings, but shoot up to 3200ish during happenings)
Charles Gray
Speaking of which, we're overdue a happening. Blessed Ron Paul please deliver a happening unto us.
Ian Butler
fuk, can't find the screenshot anymore there was a guy a few weeks ago who said there would be massive internets outage in prelude for shit like crackdowns, riots, would-be revolution, stuff like that he sounded serius, was mocked, and didn't give more details anyone remember it?

(checked) Careful what you wish for, user. Those dubs are dangerous, so meme responsibly.
Charles Nelson
Doesn't this technically qualify as a happening? Sure there aren't the typical fires, riots and rapes but if the circus stays down for much longer it's going to get interesting.
Hunter Foster
Don't we have a stickied thread discussing AWS and CIA doing deals?
Jacob Cooper
Back to cuckland new friend
Michael Reyes
good?
Blake Hill
FIRST CLOUDFARE, NOW AWS.
OUTSOURCE TALENT AND SERVICES, GET FUCKED OVER.
Lucas Parker
this smells deliberate.
Jackson Long
PERHAPS.
Camden Roberts
Who would need amazon to get online though? makes no sense to me.
Brayden Edwards
This is coming from ignorance so I might as well be rubbing my face on the keyboard but I believe amazon sells or rents services to ISPs around the world.
Benjamin Clark
JIDF BOTS OPERATING ON AWS TBH
Henry Price
reminder to back up your memes psychically. jews might shoah the whole internet
Dominic Sullivan
AWS services are down in N.Virginia. Hmm who has a 600 million dollar deal with the CIA.
Tyler Long
CRASHING THESE SERVERS
Cameron Miller
What are you talking about, we've had nothing but a constant, rolling happening since Trump got into office.
Jeremiah Scott
Wasn't there a similar incident dealing with different infrastructure just last year where a ton of people couldn't make it onto the internet at all? It's almost as if somebody is testing out what methods are effective for cutting people off from the network.
Asher Bennett
Would be a good way to introduce Web 2.0
Jonathan Ramirez
They regularly have "technical difficulties" when happenings are going on. The kill switch is real and the meshnet can't happen soon enough.
Daniel Hill
Happened when WikiLeaks tweeted part of their dead mans switch. Took down my work services that entire day.
I'm probably misremembering but wasn't that a code for a specific image and not part of the hex key for the insurance file?
Alexander Evans
Bro… Here's an archive of the first one as proof: archive.is/9tPCU Supposedly they turned out to be for the 'insurance files' if I remember correctly.
Mason Lee
I'm retarded.
Jace Hill
put everything in the cloud goy. Its the modern way!
Evan Wilson
the blood is on your hands now user
rejoice, more happenings await
Logan Evans
Cloud computing = use my server to host your data. I swear I won't look at it :^)
Justin Lopez
AWS is reporting all problems fixed services coming back online.
Jace Thomas
thankfully our predictions pretty much guarantee that such a happening doesn't come to pass. Holla Forums is pretty fubar at predicting anything. A side effect of being able to simply 'know' the truth and reveal it on any topic live during an happening. The day we successfully predict a happening, it is likely 'THE' happening, and none of us are going to notice it except for Nostradamus user going 'see, fuck you guys for ignoring me'.
So don't fear. Just know the moment happenings hit. We are your first and foremost place to find the real deal.
