eBay Down All Day

from the whoops dept

Remember a few years ago when eBay just stopped working? Well, if you thought they had fixed up all those problems, you were wrong. It turns out that eBay spent most of Sunday not working at all. When this happened a few years ago, eBay took great pains to blame Sun for the mess. I wonder who they'll blame this time. Update: Apparently, not everything has been fixed. There have been more outages reported today.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Backups? We don't need no stinking backups

    I'd heard that the total restore of their Oracle database just took a lot longer than they expected. "It only takes X hours to backup. Why did it take 3X hours to restore?"
