I was doing development work which uses a server I've got hosted on digital ocean. I started getting intermittent responses which I thought weird as I hadn't changed anything on the server. I spent a good ten minutes trying to debug the issue before searching for something on duckduckgo, which also didn't respond. Cloudfare shouldn't be involved at all with my little site, so I don't think it's limited to just them.

Yeah, something happened to ipv4 traffic worldwide. Don't see how that could happen.

That's definitely going to be an interesting postmortem.

Odd, I'm trying to reach a host in Germany (AS34432) from Sweden but get rerouted Stockholm-Hamburg-Amsterdam-London-Paris-London-Atlanta-São Paulo after which the packets disappear down a black hole. All routing problems occur within Cogentco.

I just experienced HN down for several minutes before it loaded and I saw this story at the top.

I'm doing something with the HN API as I type this, so for a moment I was trying to decide if I'd been IP blocked, even though the API is hosted by Firebase.

I haven't noticed any obvious issues elsewhere yet.

(Just got a delay while trying to submit this comment.)

As noticed in another comment I see loads of problems within Cogentco, all on *.atlas.cogentco.com. Might the problem lies there?

Shameless plug: I spent too much time losing precious time when github/npm/cloudflare are going down, until I figure out it was them. So currently working on a project[1] to monitor all the 3rd party stack you use for your services. Hit me up if you want, access I'll give free access for a year+ to some folks to get feedbacks.

Maybe fix this typo? "Save titme on issues investigation"

I have two pipes from two different (consumer ISPs) at home. One can reach HN, the other can't.

Incidentally, uBlock Origin seems to be completely broken. It doesn't have any local blacklists to work when their ?servers? are unavailable?
