<9e126bf3> cloudfare is down
<9e126bf3> and <http://downdetector.com|downdetector.com> is down itself lmao
<9e126bf3> what in the hell is happening… all out cyber war going on under the surface or what?
<5547a085> Example of impact: I can’t even reach `<http://blockchain.com|blockchain.com>`
<9e126bf3> fuck a duck
<9e126bf3> it’s honestly horrifying how centralized the internet is
<9e126bf3> when everyone uses the same service, one single point of failure
<9e126bf3> we’re not down though!
<9e126bf3> for now :sweat_smile:
<5547a085> Pi-Hole as a self-hosted DNS lookup that uses your home internet connection really fortifies against this kind of centralized attack + a self-hosted load balancer that has multi-geo failover
<5547a085> I’m see that this attack is on their DNS somehow
