The painful bit was that I got automatically logged out with all of those "offline" songs. Is it a feature or a bug? IMO if there was no logout then many clients would just keep playing the cached songs, and people would not notice a disruption that much.
AWS is having problems, the two are probably related<p><a href="https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/" rel="nofollow">https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/</a><p>EDIT: someone below mentioned Spotify is on GCP but Google appears to be having issues as well

If anyone wants to download their Spotify playlist (actual rip) offline I found this tool very useful <a href="https://github.com/eviabs/downtify-premium" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/eviabs/downtify-premium</a>
A suspected BGP leak <a href="https://bgpstream.com/event/287678" rel="nofollow">https://bgpstream.com/event/287678</a> happened at 17:52 in the Netherlands. Downdetector (roughly) shows the graph start to spike around <a href="https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/" rel="nofollow">https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/</a> 17:55.<p>Could be coincidence, of course.
Anyone familiar with nugs.net? <a href="https://www.nugs.net/about-us.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nugs.net/about-us.html</a> They promise CD-quality downloads and streaming.<p>Thinking of signing up. If I like it, I'll endorse it the next time a "spotify is problematic" story comes up on HN.<p>Also, if you have a favorite spotify alternative, might be interesting to mention it here.
Is there a minor irony that they recently rejected me without an interview for an SRE role, despite matching 1:1 in my experience to the role they had open?<p>I'm not bitter, but something is probably wrong when they're turning down qualified candidates without even speaking to them first.
And now that it's up and I can login, all the playlists and music are gone. Looks like a fresh new account. Seems like they still have some issues..
Spotify, Discord, AWS - bets are on, do you think the timing is a coincidence or is Vlad's cyber offensive finally kicking into gear, two weeks in?
There are disruptions in GPS signals in Eastern and Central Finland as well. [1]<p>No prizes for guessing the most obvious culprit.<p>[1] <a href="https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-12348237" rel="nofollow">https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-12348237</a>
