Discord is entirely down right now, both the website and the app itself. Amusingly, a lot of the sites that normally track outages are also down, which made me think it was my internet at first. Downdetector, monitortheinternet, etc. Lots of other big sites that are down: Patreon, npmjs, DigitalOcean, Coinbase, Zendesk, Medium, GitLab (502), Fiverr, Upwork, Udemy Edit: 15 min later, looks like things are starting to…

Ironically, downdetector.com is also down.

FYI, PagerDuty is not loading!

Time to go back to the drawing board, for a lot of us, to re-assess points of failure.

Edit: many websites are failing to DNS resolve but the services they provide continue to function fine behind the curtain.

It's unfortunate that both the primary and secondary cloudflare DNS is down. I just switched my secondary to google.

This allows my internet to "work" during this time, but adds about 1s latency to resolutions. Presumably that's the time it takes my internal DNS resolver to try the secondary.

Discord confirmed Cloudflare is also the reason they're down: https://twitter.com/discord/status/1284237737638461453

"All systems operational" What's the point of a status page if it doesn't reflect the real status... It's either the status page goes down with everything else or the status page is wrong. Great. EDIT: Looks like it's accurate now, 20 minutes later.

Let's start a betting pool. How many upvotes do you think OP will get before the status page acknowledges a problem? I say its going to be 600.

This post is getting something like 30 upvotes a minute…might want to up that a bit ;)

It really defies the original vision of the internet to have so many services depend on a single company. Almost every news site I was reading dropped off at once. I thought for a second that I lost internet in my own house.

I don't use Cloudflare, but I do notice Cloudflare services being down.

Right now, I can't get to my own website (hosted on DigitalOcean, not through Cloudflare), but Oh Dear claims it's up. So I suspect that the problem is closer to me than it is to DigitalOcean (or Cloudflare).

Our TPU management page is also down: https://www.tensorfork.com/tpus Seems cloudflare took out a good chunk of the internet temporarily. Doesn’t HN use cloudflare? Why did it survive? (I haven’t looked for about a year, but I seem to remember HN being proxied behind CF at one point.)

Is there a status page for HN?

Yeah, it's whether news.ycombinator.com loads :P
