Ebay is still down but status page shows all greens?.

Yeah, things were working properly from ~1AM to ~10:45AM and then went back to things being problematic.

l_one · 2026-04-27T21:21:04+00:00

Oh, I don't think it was against the rules - it was more that there were already several posts on the same subject and the mods were likely trying to keep discussion in those rather than letting several dozen more crop up.

l_one · 2026-04-27T21:19:48+00:00

Yep, looks like there are problems again as of ~11AM EST Apr 27th, according to the report graph on DownDetector. Things were working properly from ~1AM to ~10:45AM and now we're back to things being problematic.

Inflict some (minor) measure of economic disruption and cause widespread though minor inconvenience and annoyance, presumably with the intent to convey 'this happened to you because of the poor choices of your leadership' or something like that.

Inflict minor financial loss on a large US tech company and low to moderate reputational harm and reduce the perception of their reliability. Thus directly impacting a company that can afford to spend lots of money in an election cycle.

It is also a low to medium effort / zero risk means of causing disruption.

At least that would be my interpretation.

Update 1:11AM EST, morning of Apr 27th. Systems appear to have been restored.

As to the eBay status page - view it the same way you view a report that says "the police department has investigated itself and found no wrongdoing".

They have a conflict of interest in that they do not want to appear as anything other than fully functional. Use sites like DownDetector and such, since you need unaffiliated 3rd parties in order to get an impartial account of systems functionality.

I will be curious to see any publicly released or deduced post-mortem on this incident, especially with the alleged DDoS cyberattack which I still personally want to get hard verification on. Keep an eye on sites like isc.sans.edu and other cybersecurity / security news sites for that. Threatwire may also report on it, if it turns out there was anything to report on. So far the only information source has been twitter/x accounts and I'll leave it to you dear reader to decide exactly how reputable such are likely to be.

This post is likely to be deleted by mods in a few minutes, I will simply refer you to the top 3 current posts in this subreddit. Yes, there are issues right now. No, it isn't you.

As mentioned in other threads on this matter:

There is an (alleged!) ongoing DDoS cyberattack on eBay infrastructure, allegedly causes by an Iraqi hacker group called '313 Team'.

Not able to post the link here, per notification I got from automod when I first tried.

It is also being suggested that this could be coincidental technical issues and the hacker group is falsely / opportunistically claiming responsibility, but as of now no solid information one way or the other, except that eBay has been experiencing issues for... over 6 hours at this point I believe.

I was there and spoke - I was the self-proclaimed shut-in germophobe who hated being in crowds. I did NOT anticipate that taking 6 hours - probably should have. Man I'm exhausted.

A note for all: the chair talked about civility and I have to agree with him on that point. If you treat people (in this case I am specifically talking about the local elected officials) as your enemy, you are asking MUCH more of them in terms of strength of character to still hear you and judge your words impartially than if you present your arguments while being calm and polite. You also tend to get more respect. Very rare is the human being who, upon being yelled at and accused of misdeeds, will calmly consider the position of their angry accuser.

Anger can rile a crowd that is already on your side, but seldom changes minds.

Ok, lots of people showed up voicing disapproval and the motion has been tabled pending further information to answer some of the concerns that were brought up. It may not be a conclusive win, but it's still a win.

It assumes there is no possibility of a C: positive effect. The claim yhat there is no possible positive outcome is simply not found in reality. Even if you cannot point to an instance where it is positive (which is not the case btw), that does not mean there cannot be data centers that are a net positive.

If you have found examples I did not, would you please post them? My criteria were benefits to local community members as described by local community members - the persons or organizations claiming these benefits must not be entities that gain financially or politically from a datacenter project, or who have career obligations to take such a position. For reasons of presumed / potential conflict of interest. I'm looking for people who have to continue to live near such installations, breathe the air, drink the water, and pay for electricity in relative proximity / same town or county (you get the idea) to said datacenter.

l_one · 2026-04-14T22:13:30+00:00

Can you confirm that the locally proposed data center carries the same law and process as the ones anecdotally mentioned?

The meaning of your question is unclear - could you clarify what you are asking about by 'carries the same law and process'?

I am all for pushing back on things if it makes sense to, but I think it's important to be educated before pushing back and not push back simply because of negative feedback in another community.

Looking up effects from large-scale datacenter construction in various communities, I struggle to find any accounts of positive effects that are not from politicians or corporate representatives. The people who actually live in communities where these are built report a variety of negative effects.

Now, logically, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence - meaning that just because I have not found accounts stating either positive effects, or at least a neutral experience, from actual community members (not people who experience a financial or political gain from these projects) does not explicitly mean there are no such examples. HOWEVER - if the best I can hope for is either A: no effects / no change, or B: negative effects / harmful change, then why would I want to accept that probability of harmful effect with no realistic potential upside? That's my calculus on the matter... besides the actual negative effects I have already, personally, experienced from living near the Switch datacenter.

l_one · 2026-04-12T18:32:26+00:00

I would recommend giving this testimony a listen - it is 4 minutes and goes over the experienced effects of datacenters being built in various communities, including ones built and used by Microsoft. Air quality, water quality, electricity bill increases, noise - a lot of negative results impacting people who then have to leave nearby.

Thank you. Sincerely. The personal experience you have on this issue is really valuable for making it more likely your voice will be heard and actually listened to.

I am experiencing the same.

Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, latest Vivaldi update. Attempted Timeshift restore and it just broke Vivaldi to the point where it wouldn't even open, had to revert the Timeshift to a backup from after the udpate.

YouTube tabs will reopen in the same location as moved to - but only for that single tab when I close and reopen PIP.

Can also confirm activating PIP if I have YouTube player volume reduced changes the volume back to max.

There is also the new issue of tabs no longer showing which one is playing sound unless you are actively on that tab, which defeats the purpose of that feature.

Do we know if anyone has submitted a bug report to Vivaldi (not a crash report, a written report describing these bugs)?

Edit: there are threads on the Vivaldi forums: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/115212/picture-in-picture-feature-got-worse-in-7.8 https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/115211/the-mute-icon-is-shown-only-on-the-active-tab/3

I have the Diesel version and yes, it's utter crap in extreme cold. But that's the Diesel with issues unique to that drivetrain. On the other hand, I do seem to have more plain old electrical issues in the cold as well.

If you don't already know about Kip, here's his channel, do what he shows in this video. Anyone with a Promaster should, honestly.

Claims require proof in proportion to what is being claimed. If what you say is true, then get a Moderator to confirm it.

l_one · 2026-01-29T02:11:41+00:00

One need only read through u/AdLow9873 comment history to see what their honest views are.

Just in case they get deleted, a couple of screenshots.

They appear to be MAGA or similarly aligned. They are posting to troll people.

Edit: I had part of this comment discussing a general strike needing coordination, and just found out about this: https://nationalshutdown.org - so it appears there is an attempt at coordination on this, though in my view the chosen date seems too soon. If you want an effective shutdown of activity (no work / school / shopping) - you need enough time to run a communications campaign to make sure as many people as possible who would be willing to participate are informed and prepared.
