Not being in IT and fundamentally just taking life easy regardless of what is happening, it has been really nice today. Didn’t realize just how pervasive email is until it is gone.
Weird. It’s almost like putting billions of eggs in one basket and tossing a live hand grenade in the middle has a negative effect on said eggs.
Yep. There is very little reason or benefit in centralizing a naturally decentralized technology like email
IT guy here. Anyone got a loaded gun I can borrow? Just one bullet.
You should know by now 2 is one, 1 is none
this is one of those rare times I enjoy all our shit being in the cloud. Not a damn thing I can do but post an advisement, and everyone knows there’s no room to be mad at me. It’s practically been a day off
I’m just mad these big outages always happen during American work hours. Come on, I want to sit and twiddle my thumbs in Europe too.
Have you been making the appropriate blood sacrifices?
Not a damn thing I can do but post an advisement
A paper one, on the office bulletin board, because Outlook is also down, lol.
I would’ve gone into the office to do that if teams had gone down too. Unfortunately it did not for us lol
Also in IT, if only Teams could go down too 🤞🏻
Retired former IT guy here. I’m enjoying watching the tech world burn while wrapped in a blanket on my couch, sipping hot chocolate. ☕
I feel bad for my fellow IT guys who have to deal with it, but it’s so nice being removed from it all now.
I just walked through the office telling literally everyone I saw “Outlook is down pass it on”

it was out for somebody
It would be a dramatic improvement in service.
I was sooooo hopeful when I saw it in the list of affected services, buuuuuuuut noooooooooooo
What’s going on?

Thats art right there. Either sloppers, hacks, or attacks, keel it up please. I want a week of outage. Teach em a lesson.
My guess: Very vibe crapped November patches on Windows pulling the bottom from under Azure and M365. They should migrate to NetBSD for some actual resilience heheheh.
I’m wondering if it might be a hack because there’s been some weird phishing attacks going along with it. Could also just bad actors taking advantage of the chaos.
Column A&B, its most likely bad rolls on the slop machine, That’s basically what our T4 support from Microsoft has been for the past year
Business as usual, no?
M365 down I think
After recently moving everything to self hosted I never even noticed. Helps being unemployed from the tech industry so I am not forced to use any corpotrash.
Yep, outside of work I moved on from all proprietary tech were possible. So anything of mine is just plodding along like normal. But I am watching the corporate world burn like Nero on the roof. Good times.
Yep, lol. Absolutely everything I use is fully up and operational. Sucks to be corpo.
I have the dumb. Can someone explain what’s going on?
Nearly all of Microsofts online services like Outlook are down :). Unfortunately not Microsoft Teams for my company though
More info: Potentially impacted services include:
- Exchange Online
- Microsoft Teams
- SharePoint Online
- Microsoft Copilot 365
- Microsoft Defender XDR
- Microsoft Planner
- Microsoft To Do
- Microsoft Intune
- Microsoft Defender for Office 365
- Microsoft Purview: Multiple Purview services including Authorization, Auto Labelling, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Communication Compliance, and Data Classification are impacted.
- Power BI: All users may intermittently be unable to export reports with MIP sensitivity labels to PDF in Power BI.
- Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center: Multiple services including Cloud Update, Cloud Policy, and Inventory.
Everytime I refresh this page, there’s a new service impacted.

*Insert at 0
[Copo-lit]

Hmmm, must be dns
I am also unable to ‘sleep’ my pc after the last update.
My laptop sleeps fine after latest update… Of fedora
The raptor fences aren’t out, are they?
There’s a major Internet services interruption happening. I first saw it reported that Microsoft Outlook was down. It looks like the problem has spread to other Microsoft services, and also to other companies’ services.
Should have used Linux
basically all microsoft service backends do run on linux unfortunately
NetBSD then?
Oh snaps
No, they probably shouldn’t use snap packages. Not only are they semi-proprietary, they’re also very inefficient.
At least the status page is loading now.
Even steam’s “down” and they aren’t sloppers. What’s going on? is it cloudflare + MS Azure?
People going “welp guess I might as well boot a quick game”? Lol
Could be network traffic overload, imagine all global M365 users continuously and rather aggressively retrying to fetch mail etc
Me, a self-hoster, laughing at DownDetector then crying because my job still relies on Microsoft
Yep, we try to protect ourselves but alas are dependent on others. Eventually their problems become our problems.
