Ha, even Steam is using them, it seems.
OMG I just lost $69million! damm!

Stop painting CF so negatively. They of course use js selecter - and a high-end customi [sorry, broken by CF js selecter]
Kazakhstan?
Best Potassium.
IMO this shows two things:
Yeah. Even if some sites weren't down, their static assets were. Or media elements integrated in their pages. That lets us see that CF spying is much more efficient (and harder to block/limit) than google's, and totally ignored by most people. Strange times.

Just remember they have a NTP server now too
time.cloudflare.com
And we have: pool.ntp.org
See cest pit: it was a software deployment error.

"This was not an attack (as some have speculated) and we are incredibly sorry that this incident occurred. Internal teams are meeting as I write performing a full post-mortem to understand how this occurred and how we prevent this from ever occurring again."
@willie
And stupid me thought that a major global corporation had some procedures (incl. review, simulation, testing, ...) in place instead of allowing interns to play with millions of web sites ...
Well, I'll confess it: I should have know that that expectation was stupid in the case of CloudF_ckup.
This is just outrageous. I could understand a deployment mucking up a regional area with low traffic but to deploy something on a global scale from the get go was just real dumb...
OBVIOUSLY CloudF_ckup does not even have rollback functionality in place.
They did roll it back, according to their blog post.
A rollback should not take 25 minutes, you should notice issues and push that button after a few minutes and it should normalize again.
That's what the guy who hit the AZ5 button thought would happen.
Kind of. A real rollback mechanism allows to "click a button" and be done. What they did was by hand after going and sieving though lots of potential trouble candidates. That is not what I was talking about.
Well, when I mostly worked as intern, I got most of them time full access to the productive database.
Welcome to the reality, even testing code, using continuous integration and have code reviews, do not protect you from loosing money.
We had one case, where parts of the project had no git, yet in 2018.
We had ci and code reviews, also tested everything that we COULD test, locally.
We could not test, something locally, because the test environment was in maintenance since xx weeks, so they gave us access to their production environment to do tests on it, yes...
They also refused to whitelist our IP, so we where forced to even run these tests on our production environment.
Additionally, the code was not in git, which made code reviews complicated.
Guess what, a single line was not changed after deployment and the company could have lost about 50k if it went worse 100k+
Luckly, we found it before we lost money.
Confirmed.
Cloudflare is inferior potassium, not in great nation Kazakhstan.

There's no cheap alternative
Faith in cloudflare restored
I decided to not use clouflare when everyone seemed to be using it.
They provided pathetic post-mortem of incident. They did not included that nasty regex
Turns out Kim Kardashian just needed a regex and not her arse to #breaktheinternet
no big surprice.OVH down before.
Now VMHaus is down.... For what sins....🧟♂️
Nah, they had issues yesterday but not today.
