LMAO of course when every single thing I tried to use won't load or gives me a useless default 500 nginx error page, I find out why here. Figured it was CloudFlare. Single point of failure, not once.
Cloudflare had a partial outage

#112Yes, not worldwide but a lot of places. Problem with our backbone. We know what. Rollbacks etc. happening. Bring it back up in chunks. Should be back up everywhere.
We are not using cloud flare. But our domain is also not accessible. We are using digital ocean's DNS service for propagating our IP. Does the DigitalOcean's DNS service depend on Cloudflare service?

#113Back up?
Re: Cloudflare had a partial outage
#114CF's website is down as well. The CF Status page [0] says everything is working, though. [0] https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
I don't think I've ever seen a status page report an issue at the time the issue was occurring. Seems a bit pointless.
Because most of them are manually updated, and not pulling directly from an uptime system (at least for incidents, etc)
(Also it doesn't help that uptime monitoring systems are usually stupid and love triggering on false positives)

#115I had tinkered with my network settings just before this to troubleshoot an entirely unrelated problem so for a minute there I thought I broke everything lol
Re: Cloudflare had a partial outage
#116GitLab.com is impacted too as they are also behind Cloudflare.

Just wanted to also reiterate how thankful I am that you took your time to let us know. It speaks volumes.

#119At times like this and the big Fastly outage roughly a year ago, choosing to host on a simple, independent bare-metal box doesn't seem like such a bad strategy (as long as one has backups for disaster recovery, of course). Sure, other things can cause downtime in that kind of infrastructure, but at least my service isn't likely to be taken offline by someone else's configuration error or deployment gone wrong.
What is your setup to where you are isolated from "other person making a mistake"? Even if you're a box in a colocated datacenter you're still able to get knocked off the net from some maintenance on the surrounding pipes. Hell, hosting your own box doesn't cause Comcast DNS issues to not knock off a bunch of people either.
I do think there is some holistic overview of hosting stuff on the internet, where you could label each extra actor that can break things, mitigation strategies, and costs of such. Someone better than me would be able to place relative risk (and I think in that model laying out various provider uptimes/issues would be great!) and offer a smart way of dealing with the buy vs. build question on this.
