#32I forgive them because it's Guru Mediation time. In this hectic harsh world, even computers need a moment sometimes.
Yesterday I read about that error for the first time on the article about the TV guide channel and now here it is again!

#33I didn't know so many sites were depending on Fastly. Stack Overflow, GitHub, reddit, ..., even pip is unavailable. My development workflow is completely janked up. It is a bit scary that we are putting so many eggs in one basket.
95k websites use them according to BuiltWith, lots of big names there!
The most popular websites are the ones that need to use CDNs. There's about 4 CDNs of note, so when one is down there's a massive knockon.
At work we have fastly, cloudflare, and some others. Fastly has been removed from the pool so we're back up. Fortunatly (or rather thanks to planning) we didn't rely on a cloud service to do that though (say a password stored in cloud based bitwarden)

#34It is funny how ubiquitous Fastly is on internet. It seems like they run the whole internet.
I get the feeling Cloudflare is bigger, might just be me.

#35It took me a while to figure out that we are impacted too by this.

I used to live in fear and respect of that error. Nothing was more dreaded to an Amiga owner in the 80-90s than that flashing red rect of the Guru Meditating....

> . It is a bit scary that we are putting so many eggs in one basket.
We said the same when AWS was down. Same when fastly CDN is down. It turns out we are not putting eggs in one basket but we are putting all our (an organization's offerings) in one basket (cloud provider). That seems to be the core issue IMO.
