#102https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.... reports that https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.com/ is down, guessing downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector runs via cloudflare!
I don't understand, why don't they just make the whole internet out of down detectors?

We need a set of down detectors that all detect if each other are down, and produce an answer via quorum.
I think CAP theorem says this is impossible.

#105How are these clowns deploying stuff on a Friday, it is unbelievable to me. It is not even funny any more. It seems cloudflare is held together by marketing only. They should stop all of these stupid initiatives and keep their stack simple. And I'm 100% sure the management responsible for this is already fueling up the ferraris to drive to their beach house. All of us make them rich and they keep on enshittifying the…
how do you tell they deployed new stuff?
"A change made to how Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall parses requests caused Cloudflare's network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This was not an attack; the change was deployed by our team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components."
The bug is known since several days, and the hotfix was already in place. So they worked on the "final fix" and chose to deploy it on a friday morning.

#106Appears 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? https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/lfrm31y6sw9q

They haven't had an incident that bad since they switched from C to Rust.

If the deployment was related to the React Server issue then maybe it was unavoidable.

Or maybe we just move away from cloudflare-like services altogether.
And just live with high latency?
Also cloudflare is needed due to DDOS and abuse from rogue actors, which are mostly located in specific areas. Residential IP ranges in democratic countries are not causing the issues.
