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?
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.
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
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).
Preliminary articles say this was a DDoS.
A DDoS that brings down the biggest(?) DDoS protection provider?
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.
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
“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.
I wish they go down more, at least once a month.
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 😭
Took down Framework’s website, which I was using.
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
And it’s taken down most of Lemmy’s “selfhosted” images.
Cloudflare capcha down
Because downdetector is cloudflare
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
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 🫤
Use quad9
I saw many missing pictures today as my Lemmy instance is set to not cache pictures
Pihole + Unbound.
Just throwing it out there.

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? 😆

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.
