The uptime tool I use (StatusCake) is itself down... Was wondering why I didn't get an alert.

Is it me, or has this been happening way too frequently for them lately?

To be fair the last major outage they had was 1-2 years ago. That said, when that happened they had two outages in about a month.

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.

Same here. Rebooted the router and modem thinking it was me, but my phone was still on wifi then realized it was probably my cloudflare DNS.

Something’s wonky, because it’s not just Cloudflare. One of my personal sites is down that uses nothing but a VPS, and I noticed my Unifi AP disconnect from its controller a little bit ago. Fiber cut? Routing issues?

If that VPS is on DO they're down too cause of CF. Or if you set the resolver on your VPS to 1.1.1.1 that's also down.

DO is still up as my machines are still up and accessible.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For me it says "Minor System Outage" for about 0.1s and then shows "All Systems Operational".

Everything works fine for me (Canada), am I missing something or is it over already?

Also in Canada. Shit's fucked, yo.

a DNS issue wouldn't cripple all of the internet at once, with all the caching.

Most sites set the absolute minimum TTL for every record, for no reason. There’s a lot less caching than you’re thinking.

No I see some services failing that have a TTL of 1h.

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…

Doordash too. My first order. On my wife's birthday.

Ah, well. This too shall pass.
