*Laughs in self-hosting services.
You're not wrong. The gangly stacks of orchestrated black-box containers at a pubcloud beholden to shareholder whim is going to be a huge factor. Sorry grandma can't get her pills, but - phew - the number will still go up.

Google Cloud status page:
Thanks I have updated the Google link to this instead of downdector.

The people yearn for the digital anime waifus
If you're not running your waifu on a local machine she's just a digital prostitute.

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.
Massive internet outage reported:
Google, Cloudflare, Twitch all downIt even swapped in Twitch when I read it at the time. Headlines be changing.

We need to break up Cloudflare.
It sucks because up until the "sales team" rugpull, they're the cheapest (and closest to reality) for bandwidth cost, virtually all the other CDN providers charge astronomical prices and their margins are hundreds to thousands of percentage.

Was trying to order food online and that was apparently affected.
Gotta love having all our eggs in one basket, eh? We learned something from the big ass east coast AWS outage!

Cloudflare is a cancer
tell me more

If the costs are mostly variable in how much they serve up, and uptime is sufficiently important, maybe have two CDNs and use the other one as a fallback when things start going tits-up?

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.
A disruption to disfunctional search engines does not sound bad.

This is my workday now
Nowadays they will tell you to work on something else in the meantime.

Character.ai being mentioned in the same line is a sign of the times.
What is character.ai? Have I been living under a stone? When I visit the page I have to log in just to learn what it is?

... What's ERP? Or don't I want to know?

The problem was actually caused by Google
Google Cloud went down hard on Thursday, and took Cloudflare and some of its customers with it. -
I actually enjoy when this happens. All this centralized shit will not end well.

Good, we have a reason to touch grass now

tell me more
Like the bad kind

Your code can compile while you're in a retro, retrospectively looking back at the action items raised in a previous retro but not assigned any sprint time in the current sprint so you just raised a "what went wrong" about it not being planned and now you have more non-sprint work to do because every problem should be presented with a solution and if you could have that for the next retro they'll review this retro's action items and see if you have a proposal for fixing retro action items

This is why I call scrum masters scrumlords.
Thankfully my boss is hands off so I took a walk and then worked on an internal tooling side project that really only I will appreciate.
