        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.

      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.

          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?

              That’s how I read it too at first- and as bad as ‘erotic role play’ with a LLM chatbot sounds, the other one is so much horribly worse.

                Actually RP and by proxy ERP is basically a perfect fit for what LLM are good at.

                Good RP is basically nothing but improv and rolling with a functional scenario no matter how weird it gets. Which LLM are fantastic at doing.

                You arnt worried about accuracy or memory after all. Just that it can string together coherent English and play pretend with you. Literally the ideal use case for a LLM.

              I had guessed the nature of the site and “roleplay.” It is a tad silly on my part to not have guessed “erotic”; thanks for getting me there (and not in an erotic way).

              edit: Had left out the word “there.”

    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 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’ve migrated about half of my services off of cloudflare DNS proxy. Guess which half still worked this afternoon. (Self hosting pangolin with CrowdSec as replacement). I wasn’t even using the cloudflare tunnel. Just their proxy for some bot mitigation.

        been really enjoying pangolin so far! i got scared and ended up not installing crowdsec.

        am i missing out? how hard would that be to add after the fact?

          Can’t speak to how difficult it would be to do after the fact. My guess is just adding in the lines in the docker compose. As for CrowdSec, it seems to run in the background and I haven’t looked at it much. I’ve triggered it a few times and locked myself out. So I’ve added my home IP to the whitelist (it’s running on a VPS). It also locked out my uptime Kuma so I whitelisted that too.

      still hard. most projects still CDN online instead of packaging into a single application.

      it’s one of the most infuriating things about self-hosting. so I made my own self-hosted CDN and have rewrite rules that replace most public cdb domains and reroute them to my own local.

      it would be great if I could just have something in the middle that would download once and cache locally on request, but it’s effort that would be taken from my time afk.

      I used Cloudflare tunneling for a while, then started to have similar thoughts. I’m off Cloudflare now.

        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

      I’ve been looking everywhere for somebody to explain it. Like, there are dozens of articles outlining exactly what happened. Which I don’t need because I was there. I know what happened. I just have been wondering why and finally you have provided a link that actually gives me a reason.

      So, thank you kind stranger.

      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.

    Gotta love having all our eggs in one basket, eh? We learned something from the big ass east coast AWS outage!
