I always love it when some massive piece of web infrastructure goes down but most websites I use are self-hosted so the only real effect is I see lots of news stories that cloudflare is down.

    As far as major outages, I can only think of around 10 going back 5 years. Sure there have been minor hiccups and glitches, but gosh, that’s life on the internet.

      Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins

      To clarify, by “issues” I mean “system stoppages not precipitated by me fucking with something.” I screw up my own system way more often than that lol

        I don’t know how old you are brother, but it feels like I’m in one of those Star Trek warps where all the stars are just whizzing by.
