Earlier quoted context omitted.

That status page is never red. Absolutely useless. > There are currently no active events. Use Azure Service Health to view other issues that may be impacting your services. Links to a page on Azure Portal which is down...

It's red right now.

Only for the Azure Portal, despite Front Door also being down but showing as green on the status page.

Currently standing in a half closed supermarket because the tills are down and they cant take payments

IIRC, the grocery chain I worked for used to have an offline mode to move customers out the door. But it meant that when the system came back online, if the customers card was denied, the customer got free groceries.

I noticed that Starbucks mobile ordering was down and thought “welp, I guess I’ll order a bagel and coffee on Grubhub”, then GrubHub was down. My next stop was HN to find the common denominator, and y’all did not disappoint.

Good thing HN is hosted on a couple servers in a basement. Much more reliable than cloud, it seems!

Always has been.

The Internet is supposed to be decentralized. The big three seem to have all the power now (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) plus Cloudflare/Oracle. How did we get here? Is it because of scale? Going to market in minutes by using someone else's computers instead of building out your own, like co-location or dedicated servers, like back in the day.

It still is very decentralized. We are discussing this via the internet right now.
