I just started getting npm errors while developing something; I was like hmm, strange... then I tried to go down to isitdown. That was also down. I was like, oh this must be something local to me (I'm in a remote place visiting my gramps).

Then I go to Hacker News to check. Lo and behold, it's Cloudflare. This is sort of worrying...

Wow, just plain 500s on customer sites. That's a level of down you don't see that often.

A precious glimpse of the less seen page renders.

I can't update DNS entries for my domains with Porkbun, because it's "Powered by Cloudflare".

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

They were intending to start a maintenance window starting 6 minutes ago, but they were already down by then.

Yeah that's a hard 500 right? Not even Cloudflare's 500 branded page like last time. What could have caused this, I wonder.

"A cable!"

"How do you know?"

"I'm holding it!"
