UK is ahead of the US https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
For one dose. For full vaccination, the US is (slightly) ahead according to that same site.
I think we can agree it's certainly not "far behind"
Fastly Outage

Re: Fastly Outage
#482Seems like another single point of failure. What is a solution to not be affected by such an outage?
Re: Fastly Outage
#483Time to develop CDN for CDNs.
It seems like a pattern that CDN have overly centralized the web and lead to issues like this.
Maybe its time to build a CDN that distributes your static assets to multiple CDNs and has a set of fallback states for service outtages.

#484Earlier quoted context omitted.
That is true, but the typo is because they presumably meant to reference this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation
That wiki references the Varnish version. I think it's an intentional alteration of the original, given the context.
That edit was added after today's fastly outage began.

Is fixed
Re: Fastly Outage
#486Would be fascinating if Fastly is not be able to use GitHub, Travis, Terraform, pip, etc. to deploy their fix
Interesting thought. I had not thought about this before. If there is a cyclic dependency (not saying there is at the moment) how would things play out? Do you just ssh into your own servers to deploy the fix?

#487This seems to be impacting a number of huge sites, including the UK government website[0].

Terraform having issues and rubygems down too
That explains the spotty container build failures over the last half hour. Good thing I decided to procrastinate instead of debugging the issue!

The issue has been identified and a fix has been applied. Customers may experience increased origin load as global services return.

Looks to be working again my end.
Re: Fastly Outage
#489I got a push notification from the CNN app telling me a bunch of the internet was down due to a cloud provider. I clicked the link only for the app to open to a 503. In hindsight not surprising, but quite amusing.
Re: Fastly Outage
#490Every other comment about what's down in this thread -- as if we needed dozens of site-by-site accountings of this outage in the first place -- is a bitch about reddit. Why is reddit so important to this crowd? The specific topics I used to read the site for (half a dozen years ago) have all been overrun by "bucket people," there is literally never an answer to any question I find a google link to there, and the site…
Of course, the Enlightened Folk of this site can no longer use their leisure time on lowly activities such as the "Reddit". Teach me your ways, master! /s Jokes aside, people can do whatever they please. Reddit has a bunch of niche communities around many hobbies and fun things. No need to be bitter about it.
You have put your finger on it. I AM bitter about it. It used to be really cool, and really nice to use, before the Taylor/Pao dustup, and the redesign.
