So there are only two possibilities - either Vichy Twitter is such a poorly run site that it crashed on its own, or it’s such a poorly run site that it’s not prepared to deal with being DDOSed.
Their new format and infrastructure for video hosting was not properly tested, and they did not expect the amount of bandwidth needed to support viewership demand.
Basically, same thing as a modern AAA live service game launch.
It probably isn’t a DDOS. Its probably just… a distributed amount of viewers requesting more bandwidth than they expected/knew how to serve.
I mean, the devs and server techs know what’s going on, its the execs and middle managers that need to get a live service on a shoestring budged to make the shareholders happy that you made them 25% more profit than last quarter.
You really think an AAA game isn’t more capable than a platform owned and run by Musk? They guy who fired everyone that would make sure shit like that worked. Come on man, the sweet child comment is cute but you’re comparing New York City to some bumfuck town in Indiana.
I am remembering a lot of AAA games in the past two years that have launched and basically been unplayable for a day to two weeks due to some kind of combination of not enough servers, garbage netcode, or other game breaking bugs.
Elon just went to a different clown college.
A mandatory class at both AAA game dev flavored clown college and blood diamond mines flavored clown college seems to be the art of talking up a whole lot of cool innovative features and then going hugely over budget and development time and then cutting most of those features for a late delivery date.
(And no, I don’t care if the devs are good at their jobs but management fucked them! is the defense for AAA games. Sure, maybe that’s correct on an internal level. Doesn’t really matter for a consumable product. Would be nice if the idiot asshats got laughed out of the industry instead of new car collections, golden parachutes, but thats a whole 'nother discussion)
probably not very many because it only took a single psychotic new owner to do that when he started pulling servers out of a sacramento data center a couple years back, with no engineering and no planning.
I am still hopeful the Twitter HQ will become a homeless shelter one way or another: Looks like Musky boy just hasn’t been paying rent, so, fingers crossed.
I remember a year back they just turned “off” their microservice architechture (Musk: “Why are we burning so much money in this microservice?”), or the part which allows for autoscaling as per incoming load.
So the servers just reached 100% utilization and crashed.

Its probably fairly straightforward:
Their new format and infrastructure for video hosting was not properly tested, and they did not expect the amount of bandwidth needed to support viewership demand.

It probably isn’t a DDOS. Its probably just… a distributed amount of viewers requesting more bandwidth than they expected/knew how to serve.
Except with a modern AAA game, they have an understanding on how things work. This clown doesn’t.
Oh, my sweet child, no they don’t xP

I enjoyed this way more than I probably should have lol.

how many russian twitter bots in one place does it take to crash twitter?
probably not very many because it only took a single psychotic new owner to do that when he started pulling servers out of a sacramento data center a couple years back, with no engineering and no planning.

So a Group Hug of Death.

So they’re applying the Tesla method to Twitter now
Xhitters full. Don’t light a match or it will blow - it sucks though.
It’s run by the guy that started to unplug servers at night so I’m assuming bad infrastructure
Time to bring back the fail whale
Make it a Starship exploding with dogecoins flying out of it.
I’m stealing this! It’s way too good!
