Given that the US is basically in a non-shooting war with China, I wonder if this is something technical or part of some kind of attack. Something that I’d keep in mind.

Discord is entirely down right now, both the website and the app itself. Amusingly, a lot of the sites that normally track outages are also down, which made me think it was my internet at first. Downdetector, monitortheinternet, etc. Lots of other big sites that are down: Patreon, npmjs, DigitalOcean, Coinbase, Zendesk, Medium, GitLab (502), Fiverr, Upwork, Udemy Edit: 15 min later, looks like things are starting to…

https://status.discord.com/ is down. Wow.

And that is why you host your status page on separate infra.

Hacker News is an excellent status page for those cases.

Is it me, or has this been happening way too frequently for them lately?

Honestly at their scale once a decade would be too frequent. Too many eggs in this particular basket.

Also breaking a bunch of deploys because npm and yarn are heavily dependent on Cloudflare, it would seem.

Something’s wonky, because it’s not just Cloudflare. One of my personal sites is down that uses nothing but a VPS, and I noticed my Unifi AP disconnect from its controller a little bit ago. Fiber cut? Routing issues?

That would explain why Patreon is down. I was going to post a little frog I took a picture of on Lens. Went down just as I opened the app.
