"I'll just do this small release on a Friday before heading out" - thought a software engineer before AI-slopification period. Today it was probably some AI agent which fixed all of the performance issues by deleting everything.

downdetector seems to be working now again, spikes clearly visible.

In what situations does it even go for 404? Same for Messenger and Instagram. Never seen that before.

Nope, all dead for me.

I've also used Netdata for years on many servers now. One of the problems with it is its way to fail silently when some healtcheck or alarm is configured badly instead of erroring out on the process start. I understand the reasoning behind it - it tries to monitor by default as much as possible and if some collector fails for whatever reason (let's say you don't have MySQL installed) then it will be just disabled and only way to know that is by looking at the dashboard and not finding it there. I'm only using local agent and not the cloud which means that if server dies totally then there's also no monitoring insights - something to keep in mind.

Creating complex software is not at all complicated, and sometimes it is done right at the beginning of a project, even before solving a single business problem.

Double-checked - no e-mails prior 18th of August from "Google Play Console". Also, double-checked "Google Play Console" (even under "Archived messages") - first message about deprecation I see is from 17th of August (a day before e-mail). Even if there were something a year ago, then 3 month, 1 month followup would make sense instead of 2-3 week reminder.

Maybe it's possible that different roles in "Google Play Console" will receive different type of messages at different time? I'm not an admin for that app and it's possible that someone else has gotten prior warnings, but might have ignored these, because usually they are not with technical background.

But this is also kind of a problem created by Google - why force from 30 to 33 and not force from 30 to 31, then 31 to 32 etc? Gradual API level upgrades would make more sense in my world and probably would be less risky for every party.

Not sure this can be used to "save to home screen" e.g. trigger PWA installation flow like on Android.
