Earlier quoted context omitted.

They just did an update, and it is bad (in the sense that they are not realizing their clients are down?) > Investigating - Cloudflare is investigating issues with Cloudflare Dashboard and related APIs. > These issues do not affect the serving of cached files via the Cloudflare CDN or other security features at the Cloudflare Edge. > Customers using the Dashboard / Cloudflare APIs are impacted as requests might fail…

Pretty awkward. Thought my WIFI was acting up when I wasn't even able to pull up the Cloudfare website to see if something was down. Then, trying to go to Downdetector and that wasn't working either.

https://registry.npmjs.org/ is down, affecting our builds

So is https://hub.docker.com which is why I am here and not doing useful work.

I can still visit some websites that use Cloudflare, but other don't work.

Blender Artists works, but DownDetector and Quillbot dont.

Is it at all achievable to be fronted by a CDN but fallback to the raw server in case the front falls off? Better to be vulnerable to DDoS than be unreachable altogether

But then you end up potentially exposing the origin server. This could be an opt-in option though

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

Unlike the previous outage, my server seems fine, and I can use Cloudflare's tunnel to ssh to the host as well.
