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 Guess many lemmy instances are not as much decentralized as they thought.
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?
Honesty we need a open standard for caching
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”.
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.
So far this year its been:
1. AWS was massively down
2. Azure was down a week later
3. Cloudflare down multiple times this year
Thats the ones that affect stuff at work. Fun times.
Azure was down? Did anyone notice? 😆
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”.
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.
It’s a vibe.
My services have a higher uptime than AWS, Azure and Cloudflare despite the fact that they are running on 10 year old hardware
Dang. I had to look it up, but CrowdStike taking down a huge percentage of Windows PCs was so last year, I guess.
"Whoops"
“Further details will be made available when we’ve worked out how the AI screwed us this time”
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
AI: taking another hit of acid in preparation to research the reason why the last thing it did after taking acid didn’t work out.
Eggs, baskets, and lessons being taught about how it’s not a good idea to heavily skew their ratio.
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.
NAT may be insecure but it keeps chugging on
My own DNS is still up and strong. Take that, Cloudflare.
took much of lemmy.world down. I wonder how come I’m seeing some posts from lemmy.worlders though
Cloudflare have a large international network. Perhaps some users could access sites when coming from another region
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 😭
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 was having DNS issues yesterday using cloudflare’s DoH, so I’m curious if it is going to be related.
Stop using that solved
You mean Cloudflare is down this evening. Timezones, how do they work?
Classic case of US egoism/defaultism
I wish they go down more, at least once a month.
And it’s taken down most of Lemmy’s “selfhosted” images.
Took down Framework’s website, which I was using.
Because downdetector is cloudflare
Cloudflare capcha down
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…
I use cloudflare for my DNS 🫤
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
I almost didn’t notice and the all sites I wanted to look had had been archived on archive.org
I saw many missing pictures today as my Lemmy instance is set to not cache pictures
Pihole + Unbound.
Just throwing it out there.

Is there any meta analysis on these major outages?
They seem to be occuring more and more regularly.

It would be funny if it was because of some AI coding
Subscript5676@lemmy.ca 1 month 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.

It is. Sometimes the big secret turns out to just be what we all thought was happening.

Maybe Kevin Fang will make a video about all combined?
My prejudice tells me that it’s vibe slopped code.
UsedLinuxDealer@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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).

Preliminary articles say this was a DDoS.
Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
A DDoS that brings down the biggest(?) DDoS protection provider?
carrylex@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Based on what facts?
irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 month 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.
BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 1 month 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
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 month 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.
