We may be witnessing the largest IT outage in history

For those sysadmins affected, we wish you well and we hope the overtime pay is great. Luckily the cause is quite well known and fixes are documented. God speed on implementing them!

For those not affected, remember that shit happens. It might not be you today, but it could well be next time. Don't rest on your laurels, make sure you have recovery procedures in place.

For those not sysadmins and are here with popcorn, enjoy the show! This will be going on for many more hours, and probably won't be entirely mitigated until next week.
