Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted
-
I've migrated about half of my services off of cloudflare DNS proxy. Guess which half still worked this afternoon. (Self hosting pangolin with CrowdSec as replacement). I wasn't even using the cloudflare tunnel. Just their proxy for some bot mitigation.
been really enjoying pangolin so far! i got scared and ended up not installing crowdsec.
am i missing out? how hard would that be to add after the fact?

It's a joke. I don't think there's really a website called Frank's Dildo Emporium. But if there is, lmk.
You could just google it-
oh wait

When I get to that screen, I just x out most of the time. It's usually not that important.

Another reason to self host
I do agree , the web needs to be decentralized, but does your server have similar uptime to cloudflare.

Interesting, I have a lot less problems with the Cloudflare verification, than with Google captchas. The slightest unusual thing seems to put you in captcha hell

It blocks anyone not using one of its preferred browsers, among other things. It's become the gatekeeper for a large fraction of the Internet.
What browsers does it block?

Well that was fun!

Does it need to?
-
The whole internet is down. Unless you self host
Stuff hosted by cloudflare is not the whole internet
-
I’m pretty sure cloudflare has better uptime than you
-
Still a very important service for many people who are alone.
Self host your desperation.

Does it need to?
No but then the argument above falls flat, doesn't it?

I remember the day I went why are we all selfhosting and still relying on a site like Cloudflare?.
I'm glad I agreed with me on it.
this “me” character is so smart, aren’t they

Honestly, I didn't even notice.

This is dumb...
If you self host and your power goes out ...
Think about it
-
I use it for DNS and domain hosting, but that's it, none of their proxying stuff.
Why though? You have other options less detrimental to the internet than using and supporting them...

Oh, he's the best. Keeps me out of trouble, that one.

I prefer less uptime at saturday over a random rare outage.

Think about it
Maybe this guy lives in an area immune to random outages ? Never any power shutdown, internet disconnection or slowness. And his hardware never fails too 🫢
