Hackernews is my new status page. All others are useless.
Clearly YC should start an Saas web host...
May be atleast like [Incident HN] to report about incident status.

Re: Cloudflare had a partial outage
#185Everything using Cloudflare is down. Tells you that how much of the internet Cloudflare is part of.
Once in a while web2 is going great with Cloudflare. Until when everyone uses it and it goes down.

#186I had tinkered with my network settings just before this to troubleshoot an entirely unrelated problem so for a minute there I thought I broke everything lol
Same here. I picked a bad time to mess with my DNS config.

#187Yes, not worldwide but a lot of places. Problem with our backbone. We know what. Rollbacks etc. happening. Bring it back up in chunks. Should be back up everywhere.
Enterprise support has been useless as is the status page. Got more info here

#188At times like this and the big Fastly outage roughly a year ago, choosing to host on a simple, independent bare-metal box doesn't seem like such a bad strategy (as long as one has backups for disaster recovery, of course). Sure, other things can cause downtime in that kind of infrastructure, but at least my service isn't likely to be taken offline by someone else's configuration error or deployment gone wrong.
What is your setup to where you are isolated from "other person making a mistake"? Even if you're a box in a colocated datacenter you're still able to get knocked off the net from some maintenance on the surrounding pipes. Hell, hosting your own box doesn't cause Comcast DNS issues to not knock off a bunch of people either. I do think there is some holistic overview of hosting stuff on the internet, where you could l…
Fair point. Still, based on my anecdotal experience using leased dedicated servers, mistakes at that networking layer seem to happen less often than mistakes that take AWS us-east-1 or one of the big CDNs offline.

#189This should hopefully drive home the idea of why HN shouldn't be cheering on Cloudflare's slow takeover of the internet.

Just wanted to also reiterate how thankful I am that you took your time to let us know. It speaks volumes.
Agreed- couldn’t figure out what was going on… finally checked here and - ah now I can sleep
