hmm... https://downdetectorsdowndetector.com/

(edit: it's working now (detecting downdetector's down))





Lol. The fact that the 4x one actually works and is correctly reporting that the 3x one is down actually makes this a lot funnier to me.


it's like they didn't fully think it through/expect people to actually use it so soon


It’s down detectors all the way down!


downdetectorsdowndetectors didn't detect breakdown of downdetectors with 500 Error


A wrong downdetectordowntector is worse than a 500 one. :D


You had one job.


So down²detector was fake all along?



So DownDetector is down, but DownDetectorDownDetector does not detect it... We probably need one more DownDetector. (no)


Yes we do have[^1] but unfortunately it looks like not checking the integrity, just reachability.

We have one. But according to Down Detector's Down Detector's Down Detector's Down Detector, that's also down.


Well Down Detector's Down Detector isn't down...What we might need is a Down Detector's Down Detector Validator


>half the internet is down >downdetector is down >downdetector down detector reports everything is fine

software was a mistake


This is a fake detector that just has frontend logic for mocking realistic data, you can easily see it in the source code.


Ehh, so down detector for down detector is up but it is inaccurate.


great news, schrodingersdetector.com is available!
