Good marketing for Fastly! I had no idea so much of the internet relied on it...

Re: Fastly Outage
#262Yeah so it's been mentioned in the comments already, but to everyone in Fastly right now: I feel for you. Something like this must be insanely stressful, and not just during the outage. There will be (should be) a massive post-mortem. People will be losing sleep over this for days, weeks, months. :( Edit: There seems to be a major empathy outage in this thread. Disgusted but not surprised, unfortunately.
They shouldn't lose sleep over it, though.

#263Earlier quoted context omitted.
Opened my browser, ad my three major Web pages : github, gitlab.gnome.org and old.reddit.com... They all are down.
Unless you're browsing reddit without logging in, you can just set the old reddit theme from your account settings so you don't need to use the old. prefix :)
And if you're browsing on mobile, you need to request a desktop website, otherwise it switches to the new version anyway. Took me so long to figure out, so many annoying attempts to replace www with old in safari, and losing the selection after misclicking.

#264Taken out xkcd as well.
Isn't there an xkcd comic about CDN failures?
We have no way to know.

It's interesting because Varnish gets it write in their docs: https://varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/users-guide/troubleshoo...

#266I was wondering why my Tidal app just stopped mid song and won't connect, after much googling and absolutely no help or even notifications from Tidal explaining there's an issue it seems this outage is the culprit. Bugger.

Well, not much, I mean all our competitors are also using Fastly. I would be more worried if we were the only one using Fastly and everybody else was fine. But as we are all in the same boat, we lose the same :-)
Re: Fastly Outage
#268Before the "Error 503 Service Unavailable" messages appeared, there were a few minutes where the error was a single line: connection failure Not sure if that provides anyone here with more insight into what might have caused this!
I got that, then a 'Fastly unknown domain' error (on Reddit), then the 503s on multiple sites (I also had an API I use return a 502 then a 500 error, but I don't know what the full response was as it was just a quickly thrown together script I was using).
Edit: and now "I/O error" on Reddit.
Re: Fastly Outage
#269Such a huge number of sites. It seems like it's mostly US based sites and Australians are okay. Sending good vibes to whatever poor person is on support right now.
I'm in Australia and there are heaps of sites down for me.
Ah, I meant more sites like ABC, 9NOW, SBS, AFL, Foxtel etc rather than accessing US sites from AU.
