Wonder if this is related to the mini NPM outage I was experiencing earlier: https://status.npmjs.org/incidents/zdznxkrp22py

No way to confirm, but I think so, just because NPM threw this error at me:

     KV GET failed: 401 Unauthorized
where KV could refer to the CF KV in workers

I won't be the first or last to say these three things: The internet was meant to stop reliance on single sources (in case of nuclear war) The size of a house of cards increases the number of failure points Marketers lie

You have all the technical means. Your home server possibly won't be reachable, yes.

The global connectivity as-is is really, really, really fault tolerant.

For any terraform users that may be using code like this: data "cloudflare_ip_ranges" "cloudflare_ipv4_list" {} This is coming back with an empty list on some fields and causing havoc in terraform.

It is shocking to me how bad to non-existent error handling is in most terraform providers. It leads to some remarkably arcane and esoteric error messages

Terraform error handling as a whole is nuts anyway. Like, I recently tried to delete an ACM cert that still was in use in a Cloudfront distribution - didn't work, but it took 20 minutes for Terraform to recognize that, yes, there's an API error. It shouldn't have come so far given that the API call immediately errors out when trying over the CLI or Web Console, but instead of erroring out, Terraform retried for 20 minutes until it hit some sort of timeout.

To make it worse, you can't even kill Terraform safely because while it does register your Ctrl+C, it won't interrupt an ongoing process, and if you force kill it you run the very serious risk of corrupting your state file.

Seriously, I'm looking for OpenTofu to light some fire under the ass of Hashicorp. I don't know where all the VC money went, but for what's supposed to be the golden standard of IaC solutions, it's sometimes bloody ridiculous.

(Not to mention it's written in Go of all things which means there's virtually zero tooling and documentation to debug it or to develop anything for... especially when compared to the state of the art in Java, NodeJS or PHP)

And just 30 minutes ago we were about to flip the switch on a months long migration to Cloudflare Pages for our new website, I guess some things weren't meant to be :')

Omg. What timing. I feel your pain. We recently migrated to Cloudflare Pages and I was happy at the speed and everything and now this :(. Never had a downtime when I self hosted on my DigitalOcean droplet. damn. Re-considering going back to old school nginx static site hosting.

Not sure why you're being downvoted
