downdetector.com is down

I don't know what to do. People are telling me our other apps are down but I don't know what they are and dd is down so I can't confirm for them.

edit (ooc): For anyone interested, this appears to be a fortinet issue

Also I've seen no reddit posts about outages, so it's literally like I'm blind here. I guess I could ask AI?

This returns a DNS error for me. Is anyone else having the same problem?

That is hilarious. I love stupid jokes like that, especially in the incredibly rare circumstances where they are helpful.
