Good thing cloudflare is only used on half of all websites, otherwise this would be a major outage! Let's keep centralizing our services though!
Yeah everyone I know, including myself, got this message today.
Its such a bad idea to centralize the web like this. But its anyway turning into Ai generated shit isnt it, probably will be easier to stop using it once its all AI.
I have this hope, that with all the AI garbage and shit social media algorithms, that there will be some kind of rebirth, where a new type of internet will look somewhat more like it did in the late 90s and early 2000s. Maybe through tor or something similar. It will be niche again, for techies and geeks and smart funny creative people. The normies can stick to Twitter and TikTok and Netflix and whatever corporate garbage. Maybe tor and the fediverse will play roles in this rebirth. Or maybe I’m just being too optimistic.
I mean I feel like the fediverse is already unappealing to the “normies” so we kind of have that already to some extent
The fediverse is only unappealing to normies because nobody listens to my ideas! When will society learn that I am the greatest man to ever live in history, and my word should be what generations worship for the rest of their lives?
Anyways.....
All you gotta do to make the fediverse popular, is program the fediverse to give you a blowjob everytime you say "I've had a rough day!"
And then it cleans your house, and spanks your spouse!
I will accept all of your money now, please!
That would be great, but this new Internet will somehow need to be able to accurately detect and block AI generated content.
My guess is that the new social media will be people physically going to established common areas in their communities and talking to each other in person, face to face, which has it's pros and cons.
Yeah and what was that “security” kernel module update from Cockblock that bricked like half of the Windows systems on earth like a year ago or something? Single points of failure. Smart.
Crowdstrike. I don't think that fits the "single point of failure" part.
I touched grass today.
That's like the Red Dwarf episode where Kryten says "The damage reporting machine is damaged!"
That was Cat.
My favourite part of that scene though is when Rimmer says "We've lost it."Huge explosion "Sorry, I was looking at the wrong panel"
This was surprisingly the best technology premonition in the whole show. I've lost count of the number of times I've said "Sorry I was looking at the wrong screen."
He meant "lost it" as in outran a pursuer? (I thought lost it as in "the thing is broken" at first).
pretty smart putting that thing behind cloudflare as a single point of failure
Did you try restarting it?
I saw that too this morning. It's indicative of the state of modern computing, ie I don't understand a thing anymore.

Has it detected itself?
Everyone who remembers the interwebs before these fancy-pants “down detectors” gets a free day. Enjoy! Have an ice cream!
The circle is complete
Task failed successfully, I guess.
We need isdowndetectordown.com.
Don't you mean downdetectordowndetector.com?
Why use float when output is boolean?
UptimeRobot is down too. We need an uptime monitoring tool to monitor the uptime of uptime monitoring tools.
Great idea, but who's then monitoring the uptime of the Kuma instance?
the smart devop who knows not to use cloudflare.
