Yep. Half of the sites I use to conduct my business are down. I guess I can be thankful I got off Cloudflare for my own business websites a while back, otherwise, I’d be down as well.
Cloudflare today. Amazon web service (AWS) a few weeks ago. Just wait until everything is linked to digital id and digital money, the entire modern world will be locked out when these big web companies and government databases go down or get hacked or the electricity grid.fails. We’ll be back to physical cash or bartering.
Enjoy that Comfortably Numb ear worm with your morning coffee.
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
:~$ hello, hello, hello / Is there anybody in there?
Command ‘hello’ not found.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun. For we are approaching the day when the same company owns the Internet, the Internet providers and the companies that advertise on the Internet.
Nice Pink Floyd reference. I may have to dig up my Ummagumma album and crank up the turntable. Be Careful With That Bitcoin, Eugene.
Neptune? Titan? Stars can frighten!

If Carney had his way, everything would be down every cloudy day when the winds are light.

“The Internet” is fine.
The problem is that a generation of developers assumed that “cloud” meant they didn’t need systems architects or operators any more and so they didn’t bother with them, and built business-critical systems with no redundancy or failover.
Any “cloud engineer” that hosts business-critical systems in a single datacenter or via a single access point is incompetent.
The “cloud” is a weird thing. Normally seamless, imagine you’re in a remote area with no Internet (is that even possible?) and you fire up your laptop only to find its hard-drive is empty and you have a “You don’t have access to the cloud folder” error. You crack open a beer and ponder where your files are.
Akamai, Fastly, Imperva, StackPath CDN, F5 and Sucuri are all going to get a bunch of new clients?
Probably not. Sadly, the most likely response to this will be nothing at all. It will be treated as an unavoidable Act of God rather than bad engineering.
Over the last ten years or so I’ve been aghast at how few people – senior people – in the software and information technology actually know how anything works.

Got to make it to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel
