Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

UPDATE: Google Services are back online now

I can at least confirm that Cloudflare (sadly)doesn't seem to be down based on sys.4chan.org/captcha

Not sure what you're going on about because the google services I use weren't interrupted in any way. Neither is YT.
Have you verified this is not misinformation?

I am in the affected area but didn't notice any issues. The problem seems indeed real, although the inevitable tendency to elevate these type of news into "The End Of The World Is Near" levels is mildly annoying.

And then we just move on.
