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

... What's ERP? Or don't I want to know?
I put on my robe and wizard hat

Nowadays they will tell you to work on something else in the meantime.
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.

*Laughs in self-hosting services.
Same. Feeling pretty good about using Anubis instead of Cloudflare for our dinky systems.

Oh no, not Cloudflare!
Oh right I use NextDNS, so anyway...
Oh, its also Google, Twitch, Discord and Etsy... and some AI girlfriend generator... and Spotify?
... People still use those? Aren't they worried about all the security and privacy concerns, the exploitative business models?
No?
Huh. Well, dang, sucks for those users I guess.
Ahem, annnyyyywaaaayyyy...
...
Ok, serious mode / tinfoil hat:
... Did maybe someone in the Trump admin just try to do a US internet blackout, given all the insane shit happening, and pulled a few wrong cords out?
...
Either way... and I cannot believe I am citing Ready Player One as a positive example of anything, but such is the nature of our collective degeneracy:
Tuesdays and Thursdays are now no internet days.
Go outside, touch grass, realize you're addicted to social media like a drug, and begin detoxing.
...
EDIT: Holy shit, Israel just struck Iran at multiple locations, presumably all or many related to their nuclear program... including Tehran.

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.

Cloudflare once again comes under pressure for enabling abusive sites
Cloudflare masks the origin of roughly 10% of abusive domains, watchdog says.

Google Cloud status page:
Holy shit, goddamn near everything is down, nearly everywhere.
Fucking Tracer Tong ending from Deus Ex, hope somebody has a save file they can reload from soon, otherwise... yeah...

My front-line guess is "Erotic Role Play" but I am not familiar with character.ai

Speaking as someone who managed to quit smoking, but still uses a vape, who is focusing on doing daily PT after being maimed a while back...
A step in the right direction is a step in the right direction, and taking one step at a time is better than none.
Lemmy ain't corporate like Reddit, it ain't parasocial, only a very small number of users actually directly link their real identity to their psuedonym, and it doesn't have a worldclass datamining/profiling algo perfecting what content to feed to specifically you, to make you angry or insecure enough to keep you engaged.
Perfect?
No.
Leagues better than every alternative?
Far as I can tell, yes.

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.

Far as I can tell, yes.
Fundamentally, the brain still receives "bite-size-chocolate" dopamine hits from Lemmy by receiving positive affirmations from upvotes, cortisol from downvotes, and lends to dark behavior patterns like any forum. Adrenaline dumps when engaged in "online arguments".
The nature of both anonymous or personally identifiable online forums' neurochemical stimulation of our over-sized and over-active (but evolutionarily necessary for our ancestors' survival) amygdala fosters social media addiction.
People like Lemmy for many reasons. Some of them are good. However, let's not pretend that it's "all of the good with none of the bad." It's healthy to be skeptical of Lemmy instances too. Screen time is the enemy.

Massive internet outage reported:
Google, Cloudflare, Twitch all downIt even swapped in Twitch when I read it at the time. Headlines be changing.
And when I went there, it said Google, Cloudflare, and Frank's Dildo Emporium all down, like of all the random sites, why pick FDE?
