funny that even if we have our app running fine in AWS europe, we are affected as developers because of npm/docker/etc being down. oh well.

  AWS has made the internet into a single-point-of failure. What's the point of all the auto-healing node-graph systems that were designed in the 70s and refined over decades: if we're just going to do mainframe development anyway?

    To be fair, there is another point of failure, Cloudflare. It seems like half the internet goes down when Cloudflare has one of their moments

      Clourflare is not merely a single point of failure. They are the official MITM of the internet. They control the flow of information. They probably know more about your surfing habits than Google at this point. There are some sites I can not even connect to using IP addresses anymore. That company is very concerning and not because of an outage. In fact, I wish one day we have a full cloudflare outage and the entire net goes dark and it finally sink in how much control this one f'ing company has over information in our so called free society.

        Not every site is controlled by Cloudflare. My site doesn't use it at all (the fact that it is currently not working properly is entirely coincidental), because I don't really see a reason to use it. Whenever they go down, I'm unaffected

          I'm still trying for figure out if you are being ironic but anyway thanks for the laugh!
