    Excuse me, tech journalists and news writers. Are you under the impression that "faulty configuration change" is English to most of us? (Said to be the cause of Facebook's downage.) I have no idea what that phrase means, though I gather it involves the company's servers.

        tbh it's way better than someone saying "glitch". And yes, configuration files are so ubiquitous to technical people that they likely assume (incorrectly) that everyone knows what it means.

        It's a lot shorter than explaining BGP, ASN, and DNS.

        BGP is how the Internet knows where to find IP addresses. DNS is how it turns domain names into IP addresses. FB screwed up their BGP, which erased their servers — including their DNS servers — from the Internet. So, temporarily, it appeared that FB didn’t exist at all.

        It's pretty much what it sounds like. Someone tried to change a config file, there was an error in the new config, Facebook go boom 🤯

        . The real problem here is that the "faulty configuration change" not only broke access to Facebook's Domain Name System externally (to the outside world) but also internally so that remote maintenance was prevented and direct physical access to affected routers was the only fix

        . And no, that's not really Greek, except that something greater than 99% of the people who *use* the Internet have absolutely no idea how tcp/ip networking actually works

        IT professionals don’t speak in any language that can be understood. Perhaps that’s deliberate?

        But I addressed myself to the tech journalists and news writers.
