I always love it when some massive piece of web infrastructure goes down but most websites I use are self-hosted so the only real effect is I see lots of news stories that cloudflare is down.
So far this year its been:
- AWS was massively down
- Azure was down a week later
- Cloudflare down multiple times this year
Thats the ones that affect stuff at work. Fun times.
Azure was down? Did anyone notice? 😆
If you’re stuck with Windows at work, you might have. I couldn’t log on to our domain remotely and was unable to open some documents and emails that were signed as “internal use only”.
Starbucks payments sure did.
Mostly at work. All our stuff was on Azure, so when it went down…I kinda just stood around for the day. It was up/down the entire day. So I went for a coffee lol.
It’s a vibe.
Dang. I had to look it up, but CrowdStike taking down a huge percentage of Windows PCs was so last year, I guess.
“Whoops”
- some person at Cloudstrike, probably
My services have a higher uptime than AWS, Azure and Cloudflare despite the fact that they are running on 10 year old hardware
I Guess many lemmy instances are not as much decentralized as they thought.
Cache-ing is a hard problem to solve. For MANY years cloudflare was the cheapest and easiest way to solve the issue.
But the same people that started cloudflare have moved on or passed away. Now its just another corp. So yeah we are going to get downtime. In the corporate world, its the standard so no one is going to move off it.
…unless it keeps going down consistently.
For those who are in the know, does memcache work with lemmy/piefed? What is a good Cache for modern day systems?
Honesty we need a open standard for caching and csam detection.
I dont use cloudflare at all, so I didnt notice. I do see a lot of recommendation’s to host behind Cloudflare, so if they have a problem you do too

Fallback to Tailscale, or any number of ways to skin the cat. At the very least, everything is accessible locally. I’m not running anything mission critical, so it was more of a minor inconvenience to me.
I didn’t notice and I’ve been on Lemmyverse the whole day, on and off. Different time zone though (Eastern Europe) so I’m not sure how that translates to “this morning”.
Not all instances were burned. Lemmy.world that i use was though. I will make a user for backup in an instance that is not affected by cloudflare.
Lemmy.world that i use was though.
So what does that entail - the site was completely down, or images didn’t load?
Would I even notice that in my unaffected instances feed? Just no lemmy.world posts at all, or would it leave empty placeholders?
Well my user is on lemmy.world, so even if i loaded other instances i would not be logged in. The site was completely down. Old posts from lemmy.world showed on the fediverse, just no new posts while down (users could not connect or view the site).
Thanks for that!
Eggs, baskets, and lessons being taught about how it’s not a good idea to heavily skew their ratio.
My own DNS is still up and strong. Take that, Cloudflare.
TIL that Xitter depends on Cloudflare (I don’t have account, I just wanted to check a specific tweet). They don’t afford their own infrastructure…
sh.itjust.work is down, but lemmy.radio is up. I need to tip them.
I use cloudflare for my DNS 🫤
Took down Framework’s website, which I was using.
I was having DNS issues yesterday using cloudflare’s DoH, so I’m curious if it is going to be related.
Well, unless it came back in the last 25 minutes, it’s working fine in Western Australia.
I saw many missing pictures today as my Lemmy instance is set to not cache pictures
And it’s taken down most of Lemmy’s “selfhosted” images.
Is there any meta analysis on these major outages?
They seem to be occuring more and more regularly.
It would be funny if it was because of some AI coding
Downdetector isn’t working in the app.
