Cloudflare just jumped off a bridge, down globally.

@GossiTheDog The sites I follow are now back up and running … but dozens were down.
This was the most significant web outage I’ve ever experienced, period. (I’ve been using the web since ’93, and the Internet since ’86.)
I doesn’t pay to have all your eggs in one basket.
@GossiTheDog twiXer has been fixed already. It's time to see what lez show got posted by Russian propagandists Sasha Jost and Maram Sosli. It's exactly like some Jolani fans Alma and Noor praising each other for being good Jolani fans, nvm radical islamist alqaeda part...
Thats why @unraid.net forums are not working. Oh well. I guess have backup options such as @internetarchive
@GossiTheDog I could use the school's roll software an hour ago. Can't now. It's getting worse.
@GossiTheDog Self-hosted Jellyfin still streams fine though.
Another example of the need for a decentralized internet.
@GossiTheDog then imagine twitter is not working, and rep Bacon just posted stuff that Russian Orthodox church are FSB heathen cultists that pray to Hitler's hat in the Temple of War, and twitter is down now! All the fun of reading the replies that are full of Russian bots
@GossiTheDog strangely WARP by Cloudflare is still working, it's useful to access some sites that the gov't blocked without switching to free VPNs (and lose some bandwidth).
@GossiTheDog imagine countless web sites that use CF to check is somebody is bot, and demand clicking. Now they don't work!
Boy, Trump is trying everything to keep those
Has their CEO recently bragged about how much of their code is written by AI?
@GossiTheDog @hyc “multiple customers “ :-D
Funny, nothing like this ever happened before Cloudflare switched from #LMDB to #RocksDB. Just sayin...

@GossiTheDog It's funny now, that with Cloudflare DDOS protection, my website would have more a lot more downtime than it does without it.
@GossiTheDog I guess I can't verify anymore that I'm a human. #existentialcrisis
@GossiTheDog We are seeing a return to back to normal now.
@GossiTheDog Another unscheduled #cloutage!
@GossiTheDog OK, that explains my "I am human" verification loops.
@GossiTheDog My reassurance that we were going to protect against further outages by augmenting Front Door with Cloudflare has aged well.
@GossiTheDog Is it Friday already?
Possibly a victim of AI Slop patch to the server.
@GossiTheDog supplier management portal down (uses CF)
try to find origin server on Shodan (shodan down, uses CF)
try to find origin server on Censys (censys down, uses CF)
well, fuck
@GossiTheDog AWS, Azure and now CloudFlare. At least we get to normalise global Internet outages the same way as we now normalise ransomware.
@GossiTheDog I bet on DNS issue
@GossiTheDog Did they play with regex again?
@GossiTheDog
🚨🚨 downdetector is down! 🚨🚨
Downdetector down as they use Cloudflare, journalists are gonna be fukken mad as how they do they say 1000 people have reported an outage
Here's what it looks like from Mastodon end for anybody interested, green is successful queues, red is failed. Unfortunately a lot of the fediverse is behind antitrans supporters, Cloudflare.
@GossiTheDog does anyone have recommendations for a more politically palatable (European) CDN? I use Cloudflare free tier now for CDN and DNS
@GossiTheDog You mean decentralized communication network is mainly based on a centralized company?
Cloudflares status page is down now too
@GossiTheDog down in Australia.
Who kicked the plug?
@GossiTheDog love that how cf is always in self-biting snake situations.
The Internet: designed to withstand an nuclear blast, reroute automatically.
Four tech companies: what if we can bring it down at any moment by typo'ing a regex string, lololol
@GossiTheDog s/(four)/\1teen/gI
@GossiTheDog Joking aside, the internet was built to route around errors, not that some services are available within it.
According to »Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet« the idea was not to have a network resilient against nuclear blasts, but more one that allows individuals using remote machines without flying there …
@GossiTheDog The Internet withstood this. Single company's networks going down happen since ever. But like since ever the Internet was and is working in spite of this.
@GossiTheDog We're working on that. Soon there will be a dozen companies that can bring down the Internet at will 😄
@GossiTheDog regex error... again?
lol, Cloudflare's status page got overloaded
@GossiTheDog CloudFlare using CloudFront, the irony.
everyone hitting F5 at the same time haha
@GossiTheDog just last week they were ultrahappy about the 28Tbps attacks they fended off.
Let me guess, someone borked DNS? 😂
@GossiTheDog If only there was some service to help websites handle large floods of requests...
Tech press trying to cover Cloudflare outage
5+ more replies (not shown)
@GossiTheDog As someone that used to work maintenance windows overnight, I'm willing to put money on a typo in a re-route for the other maintenance they are apparently doing at the same time.
That explains this then....
Suddenly I was getting 500 errors so I checked
@GossiTheDog
USA having problems too
@GossiTheDog I just had to log in to my Mastodon instance directly for the first time in several months because phanpy.social (my usual Mastodon client) uses Cloudflare apparently.
@GossiTheDog no redundacy... Really?
@GossiTheDog we’ll just alert our infrastructure team via PagerTree… oh
@GossiTheDog hahahah thought this exact thing, entirely due to your previous toots!
@GossiTheDog We put all our customers behind Cloudflare. I'm having a lovely time.
@GossiTheDog thereg use CF too...
@GossiTheDog Jesus, this year it has never been so worse for centralized web services
@GossiTheDog I went to downdetector after having problems somewhere else, only to get a Cloudflare error 🤪
@GossiTheDog It doesn't on the main page, yet, although it was nice getting the late 1990's web vibe. lol
