Many websites are down, so much for decentralised internet.
Oh, let me check down detector to see what's impacted.
Well, shit...
Man what's not impacted?
I host my own shit and I couldn't access it from my own house
First Amazon, then Cloudflare. I'm glad this shit only goes down when I'm asleep.
It's almost as if having two companies control half the web is a bad idea...
Azure was also down recently too lol
How the fuck is there no fallback in case of an outage?
how many outages does this make now... this is the internet now. a couple companies hold the services for the entire internet and if they have an issue it's basically the before times.
The developers are lazy fuckheads. It really is that simple. And some others are vastly underfunded, but most are lazy fuckheads.
Just one more merger bro. I promise bro just one more merger and it'll fix everything bro. Bro... just one more merger. Please just one more. One more merger and we can fix this whole problem bro. Bro c'mon just give me one more merger i promise bro. Bro bro please i just need one more
Ah.
That... would explain why I have been confused by / screaming at the internet today.
... wonderful.
Rolling internet brownouts untill the Tracer Tong ending it is then.
"Further details will be made available when we've worked out how the AI screwed us this time"
Is AI the new DNS?
DNS is necessary
Touché
.*.*?
Laughs in tor, nostr, and monero. What outage?
Why the heck is everything stripped to them. I can't believe the grandfather's of the internet thought about a www which goes completely dark if some players like cloudflare, aws, azure etc went down. Put down these network oligarchs!
Easier and cheaper to outsource your site's security to someone else. God forbid you have to learn the cyber. Simple as.
Some things aren't as easy to mitigate, like DDOS attacks. If that's a legitimate concern, something like Cloudflare makes a ton of sense.
It surprises me that companies like Uber depend on them. You’d think that by the time you’re as big as Uber that you’d be able to just endure a DDoS but I guess the threat of multi-terabit DDoSs and the cost of the associated downtime would be enough to scare anybody smaller than AWS.
And why take the risk? Just pay Cloudflare to take care of it instead of getting all the expertise in house, surely that's cheaper, no?
I run a nonprofit and as soon as I got our new website up, a board member insisted the domain route through Cloudflare. I choose my battles with this guy, so I went ahead and did it. Thus, fixing a nonexistent problem means our website is now subject to Cloudflare downtime.
Might be a good moment to ask the Board if they'd like to go another route
What about ~~2nd~~ 54th route?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
