> Didn’t noticed it...

You are among the blessed.

Remember this day, for another day will surely come when you are not so blessed, and then there will be weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments. When that day comes, remember this day, and be grateful.

Huh - I keep my data on my machines and my backups. Don’t trust clouds.

Now if I had been trying to get to one of the affected sites that may or may not be a problem, depending on what I’m looking for.

I didn’t notice outages either but I was busy playing with other stuff today.

The rules I try to follow for important stuff:

1. Never have only one copy of anything important. Have two or more copies, in different places.
2. Backup important ground-based data to an encrypted secure cloud service if you don't have a separate physical facility somewhere safe.
3. Backup important cloud-based data to secure off-site storage on the ground that you can protect.
4. Become religious about synchronizing ground and cloud copies. During sync, keep a third copy in case the sync communications fails horribly.
5. Periodically verify that you have readable copies on the ground of everything important. If you're using a separate off-site ground facility instead of cloud, same goes true for that.

Of course, you don't have to follow those rules. But I do my best to do so, and it's paid off from time to time in the past.

I don't trust clouds either. But my house burned down to an ash pile in 1995, taking everything with it that I didn't have in my pockets, in my car, or in my off-site storage at the time. I don't trust ground storage either.

I missed this yesterday... I think it was just an MS issue. So I would have never known.
