That's one of the longest outages I've ever seen from a cloud company.

Swiss Cow is down as well it sees.

Qwant is also down

Thank you, tried to go to Anna’s archive for 15mn without success

🤔 maybe there is a lack of distributed fediversed search engine instances where:

1. everyone can host a search engine for their very own pages
2. everyone can crawl other pages and provide (maybe with permissions) the crawled data to other search engines (as compressed snapshots, api ...) or provide a search engine by themselves for all.
3. such search engines can be ranked or marked with "has anti features xyz" and put into followable 'collections' per topics.
4. possibility to add 3rd party rankings and filters, so that one can use only a subset of a search engine list that was pieced together by someone you know or trust, reduced by rankings or filters published by another one you somehow trust to limit the items in the first list.

then: "for software development i use linuz personal 'devel' collection, this way i don't have to manually click through big G's gigabytes of SpaMalAds they always only frustrate you with and i am not distracted with dyo stuff when searching for server administration things like 'puppet stages howto'. for my home projects i use my friends 'home of DYO' collection, i get more results than i need but get new ideas as well without seeing work stuff when looking up how to build a puppet stage for my little one. 👨‍👧 for kids its awesome, our school provides a collection including specialized search instances that fit learning, while that collection is also peer reviewed by a company that spezialized to ensure it does to not contain search engine instances that also index any unfitting content pages."

oh btw: no i do not have any info about duckduckgo status unfortunately, i stepped over it by myself today 🤷‍♀️

Is it an Azure outage? Wouldn’t be the first.

Using SearX instance and cannot find bing results 🤨
