It's 60 degrees in PDX; the power outage doesn't seem weather related.

#112I dunno. Cloudflare gives me the creeps. I have no idea why so many folks think large swaths of the Internet should be reliant on a single company.
No free (or even cheap) alternatives exist. If you have a little site that might be a DoS target, you have to use it.
OVH's DDoS protection works great and is included by default on all servers. It's blocked hundreds of attacks for us and the time to mitigate is only a few seconds.

#113We use Cloudflare WARP (which is down) to access GitHub. Time to slack off.
Why not just access it normally over the proper internet, instead of chancing it with Cloud Flare's janky wiring system?
WARP is much more than a VPN under the surface, it does device attestation and all kinds of integration with their Access product.

#114The most impressive thing is: The status page actually works
"Powered by Atlassian Statuspage"

#115"Sure, why not use cloudflare provider rather than simply hardcode values into our IAC, what could go wrong?"
Hands completely tied.. crazy how long this has been ongoing.

Tbh. There are multiple objective reasons for me why they don't.
2 outages in the last week is 1 objective reason why they do, though.
The first one did get fixed in 30 minutes, which is probably some sort of record. I can't remember where any other cloud provider updated their status page even within 30 minutes ( or they hid it within their authenticated environment)

> I have no idea why so many folks think large swaths of the Internet should be reliant on a single company. It's not just the reliance, but the fact that cloudflare is a MITM attacker (by design) on vast amounts of TLS traffic. TLS if used properly gives you end to end security, but if you use cloudflare they have access to all your cleartext traffic.
Which can be said from any cloud provider/hoster.

why don't they just make the plane out of the status page?

I feel they have one of the most fair offerings, not trying to squeeze every last penny from you like other cloud providers. Just my opinion of them, probably wrong.
Re: Cloudflare API Down
#120I've been trying to bring up a Github Enterprise instance and this is giving me a lot of grief (wanted to proxy it through Cloudflare DNS). It's been going for quite a while... I'm really quite shocked at the length of recovery time needed. Currently can't view analytics to find out why my instance isn't working.
