Good thing cloudflare is only used on half of all websites, otherwise this would be a major outage! Let’s keep centralizing our services though!
Got some lovely messages from my home monitoring :)
You using them instead of Google for DNS?
Cloudflare as DNS and proxy.
But also some other I monitor for connection issues.
Edit:
Literally got spammed so much by the telegram monitoring that I muted it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah and what was that “security” kernel module update from Cockblock that bricked like half of the Windows systems on earth like a year ago or something? Single points of failure. Smart.
Crowdstrike. I don’t think that fits the “single point of failure” part.
Well if half of the windows boxes are running it, and they push an update without stages, and that breaks everything, I’d say that fits.
I don’t think Crowdstrike are nearly as large as half.
“i wonder if it’s down for everyone or just me. Let me check the… uh… umm…”
Has it detected itself?
No, but its at least a red colored message
The detectives don’t detect if you logged on to the service,
Who are ready to hear the worst about their websites disappearance,
Dontcha think!?
It’s like rain . . .
Yeah, I really do think
That’s like the Red Dwarf episode where Kryten says “The damage reporting machine is damaged!”
That was Cat.
My favourite part of that scene though is when Rimmer says "We’ve lost it."Huge explosion “Sorry, I was looking at the wrong panel”
This was surprisingly the best technology premonition in the whole show. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve said “Sorry I was looking at the wrong screen.”
He meant “lost it” as in outran a pursuer? (I thought lost it as in “the thing is broken” at first).
We need isdowndetectordown.com.
Don’t you mean downdetectordowndetector.com?
Wouldn’t it be downdowndetectordetector.com?
Why use float when output is boolean?
I was bored so…
The circle is complete
Its actually cloudflare.

Blahaj zone is down too, presumably anything that routes traffic through CF.
Editing later to clarify because I noticed this comment made some implications: Obviously it wasn’t just blahaj that was down, I’m sure plenty of other instances were too. I saw someone mention one of the austrailian ones as well. Blahaj was the one I noticed since I subscribe to a lot of their comms in my feed. This comment was not meant to throw shade at them for using Cloudflare.

I couldn’t view any content hosted on blahaj, kept getting a CF http 500 error. Poats that had already federated out were fine but links back to uploaded content were all broken.

I mean it all looks like its working now, it was around 1 hr 30 ago when I tried
Interesting. Ive been using blahaj lemmy and matrix all day no issues
CF
I did a double take; thought you said OF.
Calm down, its up.
Maybe it’s just your browser. We can’t be sure that it’s down until we check it on downdetector.
I see what you did there.
I love how they assume if cloud flare is down that it means you have blocked it lol
pretty smart putting that thing behind cloudflare as a single point of failure
I touched grass today.
Could it be DNS?
Funnily enough, that site was also down due to Cloudflare issues. lmao
Possibly, but there was a major cloudflare outage today that probably caused it.
I haven’t seen anything specific, but Cloudflare says its “global network” is down (regional networks are fine).
So yeah, maybe DNS like AWS.
impossible! I checked!
I saw that too this morning. It’s indicative of the state of modern computing, ie I don’t understand a thing anymore.
Did you try restarting it?
