Agree completely. I don't understand the YTers who are obsessed with their schedules. Probably just to keep themselves accountable because most viewers probably don't even notice what day they upload.

Yup. The DNS records basically determine how people find anything on the internet (how the computer even knows where to look for it). Facebook's network (internal and external) is GONE. Everything depends on it, so nothing is working. Of course, there's also very little that the employees can do. Someone very high level has to be talking to people who have the power to reinstate the records, on the phone, because this is not routine. Honestly, my guess is that either someone at FB sabotaged it (and not in a way that could be easily reverted) *or* it's an attack from the outside. This shit doesn't happen accidentally.

On the bright side, once the records are back and propagated across the internet (that could take a while, since not everyone hits the same servers for this info–they access mirrors of the master info record), everything should be back up like nothing happened, unless there is more going on. This would also be why everyone wasn't seeing things down at the same time, because some servers still had the records until the change was distributed out to everyone. I think I'm getting it right anyway, it's not my forte.

I got news that FB employees cannot enter their building and that their barcode badges are being declined at the door. Something big is afoot and Jen just lost thousands of "friends" in one instant. The mausoleum must be mad quiet since she can't even talk to her imaginary loved ones. Jen, having to deal with her own thoughts, reduced to speaking to poor Winnie for comfort. Sad.
Psst Jen! You can come over and talk to us since we re still running.
