How the fuck is there no fallback in case of an outage?
The developers are lazy fuckheads. It really is that simple. And some others are vastly underfunded, but most are lazy fuckheads.
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
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.
That was my ending of choice as well.
... When I originally played the game, and still to this day, I consider it the worst ending.
Simply because it causes the most suffering and death.
Illuminati ending is ... essentially status quo, nothing really changes, beyond your personal story.
Helios ending... well, terrifying, but frankly, I trust JC.
Play through DX IW and you'll see he... makes very persuasive arguments.
Uh, anyway, canonically, they blended all three endings together, to set up DX IW.
I'd say the JC/Helios ending is... fairly clearly the most optimistic ending of IW.
Also, fun little uh, spoiler, I guess... one of the endings of DX IW features a panning/dollying shot from the vantage point of an orbital space station.
Its looking at the Eastern US and Western Atlantic.
... Florida isn't present. It's almost entirely underwater, by ~2080.
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
I still don't understand how that shit is possible to do so willy-nilly. Do these lawmakers and MBAs not see the endgame on this one? Has it not been clear where this leads?
Ugh, I speak as if they care.
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
Is there a reason you're tunneling through Cloudflare?
Use a tailscale tunnel instead, or at least as backup.
I have wireguard, but I don't expose most services locally, so it wouldn't save me in this case.
Thanks though

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!
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?
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?
TFW Cloudflare is down but I can't tell Lemmy about it because... Cloudflare is down (and Lemmy.world uses Cloudflare).
Try a different instance. Might be nice to be off something related to cloudflare anyway.
Funny when downdetector is down because they use cloudflare
Relaying on one big entity is always a bad idea, self host powers
You gonna self host something that can eat a terrabyte per second ddos like its nothing?
A DDoS is much less likely to target your small site.
Sure ddos attacks would be the most difficult thing to counter
"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
God, screw this stupid roadblock of a nuisance. I have to go through this piece of shit everytime I need to log-in to my bank account's app. Sometimes it'd even fail and I won't go through. Even if I did go through, I have to double-verify anyways! I'm so over this stupid era of verifying yourself multiple times.
switches over to stored media
…again
CloudFlare went from the muscle of the internet to a liability.

DNS? DNS.
Pork rinds? Pork rinds.
Porkchop Sandwiches!
Good thing that the dezentralized internet has a centralized arbiter that..if down, effectivly, gives the entire internet a single point of failure. As cloudflare seems to have a use, especially in modern times were everyone and their mother got an ai crawler sucking small servers dry, I wonder if there is anything left to have interconnected networks without some big shot buffering against accidently ddos
Today, we remind you that AWS isn't the only single point of failure on the Internet.
State actors: Let’s take down . . Ohhh . . Howabout cloudflare today.
Paranoid people: State actors! Technical people, engineers, programmers, normal people: shit happens, people built this.
Just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they’re not after you
Ah yes, the age old tale of The Boy Who Cried State Actor.
Yeah that almost never happens. Besides they’re covered by the comprehensive protection of CrowdStrike. And Microsoft.
I’m guessing it was actually something internal. If you look at their status page you’ll notice the outage occurred smack in between some sort of maintenance work they seem to be rolling out to most/all of their edge locations. As soon as they resolved the outage they continued with the regional maintenance updates.
