OAuth requests are flowing, but quite slowly. My users are able to authenticate, but some login flows are taking upwards of 10 minutes to complete, and at times will look stalled. So far, Microsoft's reports that systems are recovering seems to be accurate. On July 30, 2024, "outages.org" <outages@outages.org> wrote:

Crowdstrike didn’t affect me at all either. And I was traveling with connections through the US that day and the three days following.

right because no vendor any of us use has interdependencies with microsoft services, what a silly comment and generalization to make On Tue, Jul 30, 2024 at 11:58 AM Bill Woodcock via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

That was exactly my point. Some people make choices which prove to have Microsoft dependencies, some don’t. It’s a choice. Some people make it each way. Then Microsoft has yet another outage, as they VERY FREQUENTLY do, and somehow, some people are surprised, all over again. But it was their choice. Some people try to convince themselves that Microsoft is in the “death and taxes” category. This is just your reminder that it’s not, it’s in the “self harm/own-goal” category. If you were affected, AGAIN, you could make other choices, and join the camp that doesn’t have anything to complain about when Microsoft has an outage AGAIN. Admittedly, I was a bit worried at first when I saw airlines complaining about the Crowdstrike/Microsoft outage, but my travel was all on United, and it turned out that they hadn’t made the mistake of using either anywhere critical, just on kiosk display stuff. So, good for them, though it would be better if they didn’t flirt with these kinds of risks at all, since they seemingly propagate when people aren’t paying attention. -Bill _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages@outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
i find it *really **really *hard to believe that you or your org doesn't use AD, or GitHub, or any external service that interfaces with Entra/AAD/whatever microsoft has named it this month, or <you name it here> but if that's the case, good on you. other cloud providers have outages too, just as bad, and in the grand scheme of things just as frequently, just not recently. also worth saying, crowdstrike still wasn't a microsoft issue, aside from being the affected platform. crowdstrike has caused kernel panics on linux machines too *shrug* anyways, not looking to get into a nerd fight with someone who has realistically done a lot for the world's internet infrastructure, it always just really saddens me when i see people in prestigious positions in tech taking positions like this, which are really below people in their station. i guess i would just say try to put on a better face as someone people in tech should be looking up to instead of gaining internet points by batting at low-hanging fruit when a major provider has a major outage. next time layer3 or akamai or <insert backbone provider here> has a major outage, would you quickly jump to go "haha, not affected here either!" or are you just letting personal bias get in the way of rational discourse? my $0.02 (p.s. neither of the companies i work for or make technical decisions for have a huge foot in microsoft tech either, this is just me being purely objective) On Tue, Jul 30, 2024 at 12:49 PM Bill Woodcock <woody@pch.net> wrote:
