Their uptime over the year is likely faring worse than your average hosting company, DNS provider or CDN.

Yes. Weird that https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ isn't reporting this properly. It should be full of red blinking lights.

Yeah. I only work for a small company, but you can be certain we will not update the status page if only a small portion of customers are affected, and if we are fully down, rest assured there will be no available hands to keep the status page updated

Heads will roll at cloudfare. E-commerce customers must be furious.

Impossible not to feel bad for whoever is tasked to cleanup the mess.

I'm just realizing how much we depend on Cloudflare working. Every service I use is unreachable. Even worse than last time. It's almost impossible to do any work atm.

I use Cloudflare because of their Tunnel to protect my Raspberry Pi, but I think I will just use it without the Tunnel now. My main concern is privacy, but I'm not ready to accept so frequent downtime and dependence on them. The whole reason to host self-host was to be independent anyway. Does anyone have a recommendation for that (that is free)? Should I worry about privacy? My name and my city are on the website anyway.

Nice, just got woken up by my outage alarms, just for it to be Cloudflare again. At least it's _my_ problem!

But my goodness, they're really struggling over the last couple weeks... Can't wait to read the next blog post.

Claude offline too. 500 errors on the web and the mobile app has been knocked out.

I had to switch to Gemini for it to help me form a thought so I could type this reply. Its dire.

Even LinkedIn is now down. Opening linkedin.com gives me a 500 server error and Cloudflare at the bottom. Quite embarassing.
