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

    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 down

    It even swapped in Twitch when I read it at the time. Headlines be changing.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    I actually enjoy when this happens. All this centralized shit will not end well.

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    Uh huh, just before a major democracy attacked an evil, evil country. Must be coincidence.
