"All systems operational" What's the point of a status page if it doesn't reflect the real status... It's either the status page goes down with everything else or the status page is wrong. Great. EDIT: Looks like it's accurate now, 20 minutes later.

Let's start a betting pool. How many upvotes do you think OP will get before the status page acknowledges a problem? I say its going to be 600.

And it looks like they started "investigating" at around 450!

It really defies the original vision of the internet to have so many services depend on a single company. Almost every news site I was reading dropped off at once. I thought for a second that I lost internet in my own house.

Same here. Rebooted the router and modem thinking it was me, but my phone was still on wifi then realized it was probably my cloudflare DNS.

Pihole is your friend.

I consider DNS and the way how top level domains are handled to be one of the weakest parts of our current Internet design.

We REALLY need a truly decentralized, distributed DNS system that is not owned by private entities.

Our TPU management page is also down: https://www.tensorfork.com/tpus Seems cloudflare took out a good chunk of the internet temporarily. Doesn’t HN use cloudflare? Why did it survive? (I haven’t looked for about a year, but I seem to remember HN being proxied behind CF at one point.)

HN went off Cloudflare a couple years ago.
