Facebook is down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Decentralised social networks with nomadic identity and near realtime mirrors/snapshots. It's not just a good idea. It's a bloody great idea.

Krebs has an interesting tidbit... apparently the folks with the ability to fix the problem got locked out because apparently the card readers on their buildings use DNS to access Facebook employee resources, as do the work-from-home folks. We'll likely be using this incident as teaching and training aid of how not to design a reliable network for years to come...

I remember that day, a dozen people who hadn't talked to me for about 1 year, appeared to comment: "what you always said happened" "You were right" "you predicted" ...

Then they all disappeared again. What a fantastic planet....

At least we know they don't have accreditation on 27001

That would have stopped it, or at least made it a point they should fix in some 6 weeks.

Then again, I doubt kema or other companies would like to test them
