Funny when downdetector is down because they use cloudflare
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
How the fuck is there no fallback in case of an outage?
how many outages does this make now… this is the internet now. a couple companies hold the services for the entire internet and if they have an issue it’s basically the before times.
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.
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.
“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
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

You need some CDN to hide your server IP from DDOS. Cloudflare is the only free one. AWS and Azure are the big ones with many additional services and seemed pretty reliable. So here’s 95% of the Internet probably.
Ddos? Aren’t we aware of this with fail2ban?
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.
Even my fediverse instance (lemmy.world) was down. The internet was invented so shit like this would NOT happen. Fuck the corporate internet.
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.
switches over to stored media
…again
CloudFlare went from the muscle of the internet to a liability.
I wonder if it’s even worth it now.
Might be better to try and wing it on your own if you want reliability.
Gov and corpos will keep using it since it absolves them of responsibility.
DDOS protection in 2025:
Relaying on one big entity is always a bad idea, self host powers
Today, we remind you that AWS isn’t the only single point of failure on the Internet.
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
DNS? DNS.
Pork rinds? Pork rinds.
Porkchop Sandwiches!
