It's rarely a broken open source project that causes this stuff in massive tech companies. It's usually the tiny configuration change somebody pushed just before going home.

Lmao. Friend at Facebook confirmed they ended up bringing in a guy with an angle grinder to get access to the server cage

"Sure, you can get someone else to come in and do it for $500. That'll probably take at least 15 minutes. I can do it right now for a mere $50 million, which is certainly cheaper than another 15 minutes of outage."

Revenue is roughly $10 million per hour. Don't believe everything you read on twitter.

That seems to be a somewhat hyperbolic exaggeration, based on later tweets. But I'm guessing they had called a guy with an angle grinder before they realized that the high security lock had been installed with the screws on the outside.Brightonian wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 10:14 amOne of the replies:shpalman wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 8:57 amhttps://twitter.com/cullend/status/1445 ... 62848?s=19Lmao.

I can't believe an international behemoth like Facebook would stoop to the fake neighbour mailshot advertising they just sent me, nextdoor.co.uk being part of fakebook.
It comprised a letter through my letterbox, in a plain envelope with a 2nd class stamp physically stuck on it, no return address nor corporate details. The letter was very home-made looking, apparently being circulated to our whole road, from one of its residents "Philippa" at "The Retreat". Again no kind of identification details of the sender. It urged us to join the local branch of a localised forum called nextdoor.co.uk. It wasn't quite so naff as to have one of those fake handwritten signatures, which are an immediate giveaway. Though sending it through the mail rather than hand-delivering was a warning sign. Needless to say, there is no "The Retreat" on our road, nor any of its small tributaries.

I often get junk mail that's made to look like a personal letter (at least from the outside, and if you only glance at it), so I assume that sort of thing is common in the US, which may be influencing that. They mostly come from the large insurance companies (I like to check who has my address, so they get opened).IvanV wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 3:03 pmI can't believe an international behemoth like Facebook would stoop to the fake neighbour mailshot advertising they just sent me, nextdoor.co.uk being part of fakebook.

Nextdoor was bobbins for me a few years ago. Started out fine, it was handy for finding useful stuff people wanted rid off and a bit of local gossip or whatever, but quite quickly devolved into just curtain twitchers worried about people walking past their house (I will let you guess the typical race of the pedestrian). I got into a few arguments about that then left.
(Apologies if this is derailing)

I signed up to Nextdoor a few years ago and promptly forgot my password. I tried logging in earlier this year as my neighbour said about it but every time I've tried to reset the password, it says it's sent an email to me with instructions but never receive it. Dunno what's going on.

Audience Network is for people who want to earn money from showing Facebook Ads in their mobile apps. This nextdoor thing is not owned by Facebook and Facebook would have nothing to do with the mailshot.
