My small websites are also up. I wonder if they're going to go down soon, or if we're safe.
Re: Cloudflare was down
#243This is not good. One major outage? Something exceptional. Several outages in a short time? As someone thats worked in operations, I have empathy; there are so many “temp havks” that are put in place for incidents. but the rest of the world won’t… they’re gonna suffer a massive reputation loss if this goes on as long as the last one.
At least this warrants a good review of anyone's dependency on cloudflare. If it turns out that this was really just random bad luck, it shouldn't affect their reputation (if humans were rational, that is...) But if it is what many people seem to imply, that this is the outcome of internal problems/cuttings/restructuring/profit-increase etc, then I truly very much hope it affects their reputation.

Re: Cloudflare was down
#248Is it at all achievable to be fronted by a CDN but fallback to the raw server in case the front falls off? Better to be vulnerable to DDoS than be unreachable altogether
With CloudFlare specifically probably not. IIRC, they require DNS resolution of your domain to operate so if they’re down, I don’t see how you’d change it to route directly to the underlying site.
Even if you could, having two sets of TLS termination is going to be a pain as well.
