Edinburgh Airport is also down, suspending all flights after an "IT issue with our air traffic control provider". Not sure if this is coincidental, but the timing is rather suspicious!

Maybe the little plane icons on the ATC screens are a PNG hosted on some Cloudflare domain.

Fontawesome?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

does this mean we can blame React Server Components for something new?

I always suspected RSC was actually a secret Facebook plan to sabotage the React ecosystem now that their competitors all use it to some degree. Now I’m convinced.

I mean RSC wasn’t really even the FB folks as far as I remember, they barely control React anymore

Internet is no longer decenstralised. Some interesting DNS data https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46159249

Hence why I wrote a post on 18th of Nov (previous Cloudflare outage): https://huijzer.xyz/posts/123/do-not-put-your-site-behind-cl....

That blog post made it to the front page of HN and my site did not go down. Nor did any DDoS network take the site out even though I also challenged them last time by commenting that I would be okay with a DDoS. I would figure out a way around it.

In general, marketing often works via fear, that's why Cloudflare has those blog posts talking about "largest botnet ever". Advertisement for medicine for example also works often via fear. "Take this or you die", essentially.

I assume this is why Claude stopped working

There are other LLMs you can ask to be absolutely, 100% sure.

You're absolutely right – Here is a list of current SOTA models that you can try!

Would you want me to:

- Create a list of all LLM models released in the past few months

- Let you know why my existence means you can't afford RAM anymore

- Help you learn sustenance farming so that you can feed your family in the coming AI future?

Not sure if this is related, but has anyone seen their allowance used up unexpectedly fast? Had Claude Code Web showing service disruption warnings, and all of a sudden I'm at 92% usage.

I'm on the pro plan, only using Sonnet and Haiku. I almost never hit the 5-hour limit, let alone in less than 2 hours.

Appears to be fixed now. Just lost 30 minutes of working. If this is unwrap() again, we need to have a talk about Rust panic safety.

Does it make it worse or better if I say it's RSC?
