Good. I'm tired of people not learning that trusting a single gateway with 50% of the internet is bad. Yes, I know, free DDOS protection. There has to be another way of doing this, some mesh based DDOS protection or so.

I get your point. But I'm not sure I can ever grok the mindset of someone who thinks, "good, that'll teach 'em". Not sure I'd ever want to work with that individual.

Fair point. I'm wondering though, how else you make people understand something like this?

This seems like a case for putting more of the internet through a single gateway. Having my downtime correlated with everyone else's means users will be more forgiving because they'll perceive it as "the Internet's down" rather than "lkbm's site is broken". (We saw this with CloudFlare. Some users were pissed, and others jumped in with "it's not their fault; AWS is down". That doesn't happen when our stuff specifically goes down.

We need to decentralize the Internet, but this occurrence is not the reason. It's an argument to keep consolidating.

This is important to recognize. Victim blaming is a highly destructive practice.

1.1.1.1 DNS is down, and seeing a lot of 502s on cloudflare sites.

I just changed my dns-over-https script to use quad9:

    # sudo /usr/local/bin/dnsproxy -l 127.0.0.153 -p 53 -u https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query -b 1.1.1.1:53
    sudo /usr/local/bin/dnsproxy -l 127.0.0.153 -p 53 -u https://9.9.9.9/dns-query
The bootstrap 1.1.1.1:53 was working but the DoH dns-query url was not. Hence my visit here :)

Edit: Now fixed, it seems. Quick work, if it stays up!

A great example for why you shouldn't transfer your domain to Cloudflare Registrar if you're also using their CDN. Those who have transferred their domains cannot change DNS servers to mitigate the outage.

I use namecheap to manage my name servers. It's also down.
