Ah, so that’s probably why YouTube is also down (at the time of this comment)

I am playing a YouTube video (since the time of this comment) and it has not been interrupted.

I am too. But I just loaded up a new youtube page and it's completely white except for a few menu buttons.

It seems to be back, now.

You can still see your subscription videos, just not the homepage.

Searching also works. Actually it seems only the recommendation system is down, which I'd say isn't completely a bad thing.

It is pretty annoying for those of us for whom the recommendation system actually works well.

What do you recommend?

(i'm that old)


My subscriptions page just shows an error. And the app version won't load at all.

I'm able to play videos that are bookmarked in my browser, but the YouTube home page errors out.

So you're using snakeoil certificates and MITM proxies at work?


Perhaps the same underlying cause, but there's no reason why Google's public CA being temporarily down would bring YouTube down.

If multiple services are affected, it's probably some underlying infrastructure issue.

It could prevent Google from rotating in new instances, because they aren't able to obtain a certificate.

Although, if that is the case, I would expect to to impact basically every google site.


Google uses mTLS for communications between systems and it could just be bad timing.

Yeah companies which also operate CAs can print as many certs as they want so it’s tempting to use a bunch everywhere with very short expiry.

They've had them permanently installed at Seattle's largest indoor sports/entertainment arena


Oh man, this nerd sniped me. This brings me back to my childhood :)


And AdGuard Home is a wonderful alternative to Pi-hole :)


Yay, thank you! :)

I wish we finish with redesigning it nicely this year and finally after all those years we will finally call it v1.0


Wow! Am I about to live to see the day?! I've been following the releases fairly closely, and looking forward to it.


Check out Firewalla if your interest roots in tinkering :)


Valve seems to be putting a lot of resources into this area for their Steam Frame


I think it's more revealing of how they've been playing the long game


I know there’s an XKCD comic about this


Just bring back spacebar heating



It falls under the category of "incremental games" that are generally simple but addicting due to the dopamine release from watching those numbers go up


For me, it causes headaches after a while due to the huge amount of animations running in parallel.


Yeah, that's on purpose. It's meant to overstimulate you quickly


I think in a lot of cases it's a means of monetizing an app where everything else is essentially free/full-featured without being behind a paywall
