This is my workday now

Compiling

*Laughs in self-hosting services.

Character.ai being mentioned in the same line is a sign of the times.

Ohh that's why everything is slow and this is my sanity check.

But its scary how if Cloudflare went down most popular websites will go down with it

I wish I had that luxury with work.

All my personal stuff is 100% unaffected though!

At work just about all major services are super slow or down. It's like cloud strike again.

Oh well I still get paid. But it's crazy how much centralization affects the world wide web.

It’s like cloud strike again

When The Cloud goes on Strike. Damn it they're just asking for more power, Scotty! Don't let those scabs cross the picket line!

The answer always seems to be: Cloudflare is fucking up again. This isn't the first time.

We need to break up Cloudflare.

Tinfoil hat theory: Big-Tech and the Orange Dickkktator are testing how to blackout most of the web, for this weekend potentially...

Google Cloud status page:

Google Cloud Service Health

I think https://pkg.go.dev/ is down too

When you stop using a search engine and use AI-generated responses for everything, I guess having your LLM backends go down could qualify as having a disruptive functional impact.

npm is having issues as well with publish and installs. Fun fun day.

Time to forget about code and relax

Well, the actual headline is:

Massive internet outage: Google services, Cloudflare, Spotify all down, users report

Character.ai is only mentioned in the lengthy list of services that are down.

Lemmy is working though. What else do we need?

I think that at least some instances use Cloudflare for various things, so depending upon what and how much stuff at Cloudflare is broken, some lemmy instances may be impacted.
