people think i'm isolating myself for attention but i genuinely haven’t felt like i belonged anywhere since i was a kid

Every time. And when I choose wrong I need to load my last save cause I'm not ready.

If a game gives me two paths, I will deliberately take the one that looks wrong first because I'm terrified of accidentally progressing the story before exploring everything.

@itskac Why is that even a thing that crosses their mind, let alone say it out loud? What the fuck is wrong with him? That's outrageous not to mention sexual harassment.

Lots of hot takes on the Microsoft 365 outage. Here's an engineering one.

To be clear: this is speculation. Microsoft hasn't confirmed a root cause. It's my read of their own updates, from 35 years of building and breaking systems.

What Microsoft has actually said:

• Traffic isn't up. Capacity is down. Servers are failing health checks and dropping out.

• A process that establishes secure connections gets overwhelmed, and servers stop processing requests.

• Servers they bring back fall over again as soon as traffic hits them.

• They're reverting a network config change that lines up with when it started. But changes aren't syncing, and some machines are stuck in a bad state.

• No indication of an attack.

My hypothesis: a metastable failure.

Whatever triggered it may be long gone. The outage is now keeping itself alive.

1. Reconnect storm. Every Outlook, Teams and mobile client on the planet is hammering for a fresh secure connection.

Full TLS handshakes are CPU-heavy, and a freshly rebooted server has a cold session cache.

A server comes up, eats a wall of handshakes, CPU pegs, it fails its health check and gets pulled, and its load lands on the next one. Dominoes.

2. The fix shares fate with the failure. If the rollback travels over the same secure channel that's melting, the cure can't reach the patient.

That's exactly what "changes aren't syncing" sounds like to me.

That's why they're throttling traffic types and rebuilding servers from an older config instead of flipping a switch.

You don't get out of this by finding the bug.

You get out by shedding load, restoring capacity in isolated cells, and letting traffic back in slowly.

Where AI fits (also speculation): not "an AI wrote the bad line". It's velocity. Microsoft flagged several recent config changes as suspects and took hours to find one that correlated.

When the volume of change outpaces the humans who understand each change, finding the culprit gets slow and rollbacks get messy. Automate the shipping faster than you automate the understanding, and this is the bill.

The takeaway for every business: your email, chat, files, identity and security tooling now share one failure domain. Today proved it. Have a way to talk to your team that doesn't live in the same tenant.

Happy to be proven wrong by the post-incident review. And I hope this post ages terribly.

Deal with callers like this daily. Think just because the called web support they are speaking with the dev team that handles the backend system. No, not how that works.

営業部長「Outlookが使えないんだが」

情シス「Microsoft側で障害が発生しています」

営業部長「こんな忙しい時に。いつ直るんだよ？」

情シス「復旧時刻は未定です」

営業部長「はぁ？Microsoftには連絡したのか？」

情シス「公式の障害情報を確認しています」

営業部長「いや、電話しろよ」

情シス「……電話ですか？」

営業部長「そうだ。直接話した方が早いだろ」

情シス「世界規模の障害なので、現在対応中かと」

営業部長「じゃあ責任者を出してもらえ」

情シス「……Microsoftの責任者ですか？」

営業部長「そうだ。こっちは金払ってるんだろ？」

情シス「世界中の企業が払っています」

営業部長「うちは長年使ってるんだ。優先してもらえ」

情シス「……」

営業部長「とにかく電話して、何時に直るか聞いてくれ。それか、うちだけ先に直してもらえるよう交渉しろ」

情シス「世界規模の障害なんですが」

営業部長「そこを何とかするのが情シスの仕事だろ？」

情シス「……分かりました。確認します」

営業部長「最初からそうすればいいんだよ」

情シスは、静かにMicrosoftのサポートページを開きました。

そこには「復旧時刻未定」と書かれていました。

情シスは、しばらくその画面を見つめていました。

その間にも、営業部長からの催促電話は鳴りやみませんでした。

Microsoftの復旧時刻は、誰にも分かりませんでした。

ただ一つ、分かっていることがありました。

営業部長からの次の電話は、必ず来るということです。

本当に怖いのは、Microsoftの障害じゃない。

月額料金を払えば、情シスがMicrosoft本社を動かせると思われていることだった。

@Squeeze1i Work in insurance. You'd be surprised how many men don't take care of these things and women do. Too many times I've had to deal with angry husbands that don't know anything cause the wife handles all the finances.

Very worrying how many of you URGENTLY need a 60-second rocking-back-and-forth hug, $5000, and an entire week where all you’re expected to do is sleep as much as physically possible

Everytime I see him talking I can't help but feel like he's trying to emulate Obama and his manerisms. The way he moves his hands and the cadence of his speech are what give it away. Or am I just tripping?

WATCH — @RepJeffries: “There’s no indication members of Congress have been overwhelmed by any calls.”

(This gaslighting seems to contradict what @axios @AndrewSolender have reported, and the million+ signatures on a petition for new leadership @MarkRuffalo helped circulate)
