I always love it when some massive piece of web infrastructure goes down but most websites I use are self-hosted so the only real effect is I see lots of news stories that cloudflare is down.
I wish they go down more, at least once a month.
Cloudflare is down this morning

So far this year its been:
1. AWS was massively down
2. Azure was down a week later
3. Cloudflare down multiple times this yearThats the ones that affect stuff at work. Fun times.

My services have a higher uptime than AWS, Azure and Cloudflare despite the fact that they are running on 10 year old hardware
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
Dang. I had to look it up, but CrowdStike taking down a huge percentage of Windows PCs was so last year, I guess.

"Whoops"
- some person at Cloudstrike, probably
lepinkainen@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Azure was down? Did anyone notice? 😆
viking@infosec.pub 4 months ago
If you’re stuck with Windows at work, you might have. I couldn’t log on to our domain remotely and was unable to open some documents and emails that were signed as “internal use only”.
mesamunefire@piefed.social 4 months ago
Starbucks payments sure did.
Mostly at work. All our stuff was on Azure, so when it went down….I kinda just stood around for the day. It was up/down the entire day. So I went for a coffee lol.

Took down Framework’s website, which I was using.

Cloudflare capcha down
Little8Lost@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Because downdetector is cloudflare
Confining@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
I don’t use cloudflare but the only reason I noticed is a lot of websites I go on use cloudflare captcha due to me using a vpn. Now I can’t even get on those website due to the captcha being down 😭
quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 months ago
PSH, I can’t even pass those shitty captchas when their online. Its just an infinite loop.
As soon as I see s site is behind a cf captcha, I close the tab and go to a different site

I Guess many lemmy instances are not as much decentralized as they thought.
mesamunefire@piefed.social 4 months ago
Cache-ing is a hard problem to solve. For MANY years cloudflare was the cheapest and easiest way to solve the issue.
But the same people that started cloudflare have moved on or passed away. Now its just another corp. So yeah we are going to get downtime. In the corporate world, its the standard so no one is going to move off it.
…unless it keeps going down consistently.
For those who are in the know, does memcache work with lemmy/piefed? What is a good Cache for modern day systems?
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
Honesty we need a open standard for caching
A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 4 months ago
I didn’t notice and I’ve been on Lemmyverse the whole day, on and off. Different time zone though (Eastern Europe) so I’m not sure how that translates to “this morning”.
nuko147@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Not all instances were burned. Lemmy.world that i use was though. I will make a user for backup in an instance that is not affected by cloudflare.

TIL that Xitter depends on Cloudflare (I don’t have account, I just wanted to check a specific tweet). They don’t afford their own infrastructure…
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
took much of lemmy.world down. I wonder how come I’m seeing some posts from lemmy.worlders though
lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 4 months ago
Cloudflare have a large international network. Perhaps some users could access sites when coming from another region
Deebster@infosec.pub 4 months ago
You mean Cloudflare is down this evening. Timezones, how do they work?
carrylex@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Classic case of US egoism/defaultism

And it’s taken down most of Lemmy’s “selfhosted” images.

This really should read: further details will be made available when our AI api is back up and can self-report on how it fucked up

Well, unless it came back in the last 25 minutes, it’s working fine in Western Australia.

Still having problems, their status page confirms the issue is still ongoing. www.cloudflarestatus.com

My own DNS is still up and strong. Take that, Cloudflare.

Is there any meta analysis on these major outages?
They seem to be occuring more and more regularly.
frongt@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
Preliminary articles say this was a DDoS.
Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
A DDoS that brings down the biggest(?) DDoS protection provider?
irmadlad@lemmy.world 4 months ago
As far as major outages, I can only think of around 10 going back 5 years. Sure there have been minor hiccups and glitches, but gosh, that’s life on the internet.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
It does feel like the major outages are growing closer together.
I want to blame plugging AI where it doesn’t belong, but I suppose that putting everything into the same couple of server closets could be the primary root cause.
BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 4 months ago
Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins

It would be funny if it was because of some AI coding

It is. Sometimes the big secret turns out to just be what we all thought was happening.
Subscript5676@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Please don’t remind me. Had a colleague with a senior title who just vibecoded on our CI pipeline and it ended up blocking deployments for half a day.

Maybe Kevin Fang will make a video about all combined?
My prejudice tells me that it’s vibe slopped code.

I saw people speculating about this, but it’ll be interesting to see if that’s really what it was (and if so, if they’d admit it).
Aertbei@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
I was having DNS issues yesterday using cloudflare’s DoH, so I’m curious if it is going to be related.

I am still using cloudflare tunnels for home assistant, so I am a little annoyed. On the other hand this was a much needed reminder that I need to move home assistant to pangolin/newt as well.
